Hungary KRESZ DE study plan

Hungary KRESZ DE · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

General rules of the road, traffic systems and basic concepts (KRESZ general provisions) & Road signs, markings and traffic signals

  • Define the core KRESZ vocabulary (úttest, útpálya, menetirány, járdaszegély, gyalogosátkelőhely, kereszteződés) and write a one-line definition for each in your own words

  • Classify Hungarian roads into their legal categories (autópálya, autóút, főút, mellékút) and state which default rules change on each

  • Identify every road sign category by shape and colour and explain what each shape family signals before reading the pictogram

  • Match 40 sign pictograms to their exact meaning without looking at a legend, recording your error rate

  • Explain the hierarchy between police signals, traffic lights, road markings and static signs and give one example where they conflict

Your checkpoint

A 60-term personal glossary plus a 40-sign self-test scored out of 40, with every wrong answer corrected in writing

Week 2

Road signs, markings and traffic signals & Right of way, junctions, roundabouts and priority rules

  • Decode the priority signs (Elsőbbségadás kötelező, Állj! Elsőbbségadás kötelező, Főútvonal, Egyéb veszély jelzés) and state the exact obligation each imposes

  • Read lane markings, stop lines, yield lines and hatched areas and describe what each requires of a driver

  • Apply the right-hand rule at unmarked equal-priority junctions and at T-junctions where the through road bends

  • Determine priority at roundabouts with and without yield signs, including which lane to enter and which to leave from

  • Resolve priority when a tram, a bus leaving a stop, an emergency vehicle and a pedestrian crossing all meet at one junction

Your checkpoint

A written walkthrough of 15 junction scenarios, each with the correct order of movement and the legal rule cited

Week 3

Right of way, junctions, roundabouts and priority rules & Overtaking, lane changing, turning and positioning on the carriageway

  • State the sequence of checks (mirrors, indicator, blind spot, manoeuvre) for turning left, turning right and changing lanes

  • Position the vehicle correctly before and during a turn, including turning into a multi-lane road and turning around on a wide carriageway

  • List the places where overtaking is prohibited and explain the reasoning behind each prohibition

  • Describe the overtaking procedure for a cyclist, a tram, a slow tractor and a column of parked cars, including lateral clearance

  • Explain when you must give way to a vehicle already overtaking you and how to react if the overtaken driver accelerates

Your checkpoint

A one-page overtaking and turning checklist written from memory, then verified against the rulebook with corrections noted

Week 4

Speed limits, following distance and safe driving in traffic & General rules of the road, traffic systems and basic concepts (KRESZ general provisions)

  • Memorise the general speed limits for built-up areas, outside built-up areas, expressways and motorways, and the reduced limits for specific vehicle classes

  • Calculate safe following distance at 50, 90 and 130 km/h using the two-second rule and the reaction-distance-plus-braking-distance method

  • Identify the road and weather conditions that legally require you to reduce speed below the posted limit

  • Explain how speed limits interact with signs that raise or lower them and with minimum-speed rules on motorways

  • Describe the stopping-distance consequences of wet, icy and gravel surfaces with concrete numbers

Your checkpoint

A speed and stopping-distance table for six speeds and three surface conditions, produced without reference material

Week 5

Stopping, parking and standing rules & Pedestrians, cyclists, animal-drawn vehicles and vulnerable road users

  • Distinguish megállás, várakozás and parkolás and list where each is prohibited

  • Apply the parking rules near junctions, pedestrian crossings, bus stops, tram tracks, level crossings and cycle lanes

  • State the obligations toward pedestrians at marked and unmarked crossings, including approaching a crossing where someone is waiting

  • Describe the safe passing distance and speed when overtaking a cyclist or a pedestrian walking on the carriageway

  • Explain the rules for children, elderly pedestrians, blind pedestrians with a white cane and animal-drawn vehicles

Your checkpoint

A sketch of a fictional street segment with ten marked locations, each annotated as allowed or prohibited for parking and why

Week 6

Railway crossings, motorways and special road sections & Vehicle equipment, lighting, technical condition and load

  • Describe the correct behaviour at a level crossing with and without barriers, including what to do if the vehicle stalls on the tracks

  • List the rules specific to motorways: entering via the acceleration lane, lane discipline, hard shoulder use, exiting and breakdown procedure

  • Identify the mandatory lighting configuration for daylight, darkness, rain, fog and tunnels, and the rules for front and rear fog lights

  • State the legal requirements for tyres, brakes, lights, mirrors, warning triangle, first-aid kit and reflective vest

  • Explain the load rules: securing, overhang, roof load, permitted axle and gross weights and how load affects stopping distance

Your checkpoint

A pre-drive vehicle check sheet covering lights, tyres, fluids, documents and mandatory equipment, filled in against a real or described vehicle

Week 7

Driver fitness, alcohol and drug rules, documents and administrative obligations & General rules of the road, traffic systems and basic concepts (KRESZ general provisions)

  • State the alcohol rule for drivers in Hungary and the consequences of refusing a breath test

  • Explain how medication, fatigue and illness affect fitness to drive and when you must not drive

  • List the documents a driver must carry and the administrative steps after a collision with injury, with property damage only, and with an uninsured party

  • Describe the penalty-points system and which offences lead to licence withdrawal

  • Explain the rules on mobile phone use, seat belts, child restraints and helmet use

Your checkpoint

A one-page administrative fact sheet covering documents, collision steps and penalty points, written from memory

Week 8

General rules of the road, traffic systems and basic concepts (KRESZ general provisions) & Road signs, markings and traffic signals & Right of way, junctions, roundabouts and priority rules & Speed limits, following distance and safe driving in traffic & Overtaking, lane changing, turning and positioning on the carriageway & Stopping, parking and standing rules & Pedestrians, cyclists, animal-drawn vehicles and vulnerable road users & Railway crossings, motorways and special road sections & Vehicle equipment, lighting, technical condition and load & Driver fitness, alcohol and drug rules, documents and administrative obligations

  • Complete three full timed mock exams under exam conditions and record the score and domain of every error

  • Re-study only the two weakest domains identified by the mock results

  • Recite the priority rules and speed limits aloud without notes to confirm retention

  • Review every corrected error from weeks 1 to 7 and confirm each is now answered correctly

Your checkpoint

Three timed mock exam scores with a written error log and a final one-page summary of the ten rules you most often got wrong

Week 6: Complete the pre-drive check sheet and answer ten mixed questions on level crossings, motorways and vehicle equipment with at least 8 correct

Week 8: Achieve at least 90% on two consecutive timed mock exams, with no domain below 80% and every logged error from earlier weeks re-answered correctly
