Hungary KRESZ Category T Theory Exam flashcards

33 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.

Category T licence

Hungarian licence category for driving tractors and tractor-trailer combinations within prescribed mass limits; category B alone does not authorise heavy tractor combinations.

Zero alcohol tolerance

Hungary applies 0.00 g/l for drivers; any alcohol in the blood is an offence, and driving under influence is treated as a criminal matter.

Vehicle registration certificate

Official document proving the vehicle is registered and roadworthy; must be carried or kept in the vehicle and produced on police request.

Mandatory third-party insurance

Compulsory liability insurance (kgfb) covering damage caused to others; a lapsed policy makes the vehicle unroadworthy and driving it an offence.

Periodic technical inspection

Scheduled roadworthiness test (műszaki vizsga); an expired inspection invalidates the vehicle's roadworthiness and can lead to fines or plate withdrawal.

On-the-spot fine

Administrative penalty (helyszíni bírság) an officer may impose for traffic offences; serious or repeat offences can lead to licence withdrawal.

Personal-injury accident reporting

Any accident involving injury must be reported to police immediately; for property-only damage, exchange data and call police if disputed.

Priority road sign

Yellow diamond sign granting right of way at junctions until cancelled by a give-way sign, stop sign, or end-of-priority sign.

Stop sign rule

Requires a full stop at the stop line, or at the edge of the crossing road if no line exists, before entering or yielding.

Solid centre line

White solid line that must not be crossed; broken lines may be crossed when safe, and double solid lines are never crossed.

Slow-moving vehicle sign

Red triangle with reflective border marking tractors and implements; warns other drivers of low speed and possible wide turns.

Officer's raised arm

Vertical arm signal from an authorised person means stop for all directions; officer signals override lights, signs and general rules.

Flashing amber light

At a junction it means traffic lights are not controlling priority; signs and the right-hand rule apply instead.

Amber light rule

A steady amber means stop before the line unless stopping would be dangerous; green means proceed only if the way is clear.

Right-hand rule

At an unmarked junction, give way to traffic approaching from the right; signs or signals override this default rule.

Roundabout priority

Yield to traffic already circulating unless signs state otherwise; enter on the right and signal when leaving.

Pedestrian crossing priority

Yield to pedestrians on or about to enter a crossing; never overtake a vehicle stopped at a crossing.

Two-second rule

Minimum following gap in good conditions; increase for loaded trailers, poor visibility, wet or slippery roads and night driving.

Overtaking prohibition

No overtaking at pedestrian crossings, blind bends, crests, most junctions and wherever visibility or space is insufficient.

Built-up area speed limit

General limit of 50 km/h in built-up areas; outside built-up areas 90 km/h for cars, motorway 130 km/h, always subject to conditions.

Tractor speed limits

Tractors and towed implements are restricted to lower speeds, typically 25–40 km/h depending on the combination; drive to stopping distance.

No-stopping zone

Within 5 m of a pedestrian crossing, at bus stops, on yellow zig-zag markings and where signs prohibit stopping.

Parking near junction

Parking is prohibited within 5 m of a junction and on the left of two-way roads; never block visibility, pavements or cycle lanes.

Dipped beam use

Required at night and in poor visibility; dip when meeting traffic to avoid dazzling, and keep rear lights and reflectors working.

Hazard warning lights

Used for breakdown or sudden obstruction, not as a substitute for legal parking; place a warning triangle behind the vehicle.

Coupling check

Before moving, confirm drawbar, hitch pin, safety chain or breakaway cable and brake connection are locked and lights tested.

Load securing

Load must be restrained against shifting, rolling and falling using straps, chains and chocks rated for the load's mass.

Gross combination mass

Total permitted mass of tractor plus trailer and load; exceeding it reduces braking and steering control and is an offence.

Entering a road from field

An agricultural vehicle entering a road from a field or track must yield to all traffic already on the road.

Slow vehicle keeping right

Slow-moving vehicles must keep right and pull over at safe places to let queuing traffic pass.

Work-along-road warnings

Mowing, spraying or harvesting near the carriageway requires warning signs, high-visibility clothing and safe spacing from traffic.

Emergency call number

In Hungary dial 112 for ambulance, police and fire; give location, number of injured and hazards clearly.

CPR compression rate

If an injured person is not breathing, start chest compressions at 100–120 per minute and use an AED if available.
