Hungary KRESZ DE study plan
Hungary KRESZ DE · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Milestones
Week 2: Score at least 85% on a 40-sign identification test and correctly resolve 12 of 15 junction priority scenarios unaided
Week 4: Reproduce the full speed-limit table and the stopping-distance table for six speeds and three surfaces with no reference material and no more than one error
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
