Iraq Light Vehicle Driving Theory study plan

Iraq Light Vehicle Driving Theory · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Traffic laws, signs, signals and road markings

Classify the main Iraqi sign families (regulatory, warning, informational, temporary) and state the required driver action for each family
Recite the meaning and required response for the common prohibition, mandatory-direction and warning signs a learner meets on urban and highway routes
Explain the difference between a solid and a broken lane line, and between a stop line and a give-way line, and state the correct action at each
Describe how traffic police hand signals override fixed signals and markings, and name the three or four most common hand signals

A one-page handwritten sign-and-marking cheat sheet covering at least 30 signs and 6 marking types, self-quizzed to 90% accuracy

Week 2

Sequence the correct driver response to a full traffic light cycle including flashing amber and a police officer directing conflicting traffic
Apply the priority rules for uncontrolled junctions, T-junctions, roundabouts and junctions where the road type changes
Determine who gives way when a pedestrian is crossing or waiting at a marked crossing, and when an emergency vehicle approaches with sirens
Solve at least 15 written junction and signal scenarios without error before checking the answer key

A scored 20-question self-test on signals and priority, with every wrong answer rewritten as a one-line rule

Week 3

State the priority order for junctions, merges, narrow roads, hills and reversing manoeuvres, and justify each with the underlying safety principle
Explain how to enter and exit a roundabout correctly, including lane choice and indicating
Identify the situations where a driver must yield even though they technically have priority, such as a vulnerable road user already committed
Draw and annotate four junction layouts and mark the give-way lines, sight lines and the order of movement

Four annotated junction diagrams with a written priority order for each, reviewed against the rule set

Week 4

State the default urban and rural speed limits, and explain how limits change near schools, hospitals, roadworks and in bad weather
Calculate stopping distances at 30, 50, 80 and 100 km/h using the two-second rule and a reaction-time estimate
Apply the two-second and four-second following rules and identify when to increase the gap
List at least 10 hazard cues (parked cars, blind crests, side roads, pedestrians between vehicles, wet surfaces) and the anticipatory action for each

A speed-and-stopping-distance table for four speeds plus a 10-item hazard cue list, both recalled from memory

Week 5

Perform and describe a full pre-driving check covering tyres, lights, fluids, mirrors, seat, seatbelt and load security
Explain the function of the clutch, brake, accelerator, steering and gear lever, and the correct hand and foot positions
Describe how to check tyre tread depth and pressure, and state the warning signs of low oil, overheating and brake fade
Explain what to do when a warning light appears while driving, distinguishing stop-now lights from continue-with-caution lights

A written pre-driving checklist of at least 12 items, plus a spoken walk-through of the cockpit drill in under 5 minutes

Week 6

Describe at least 8 defensive driving habits, including space cushion, escape route, mirror rhythm and covering the brake
Explain the legal and safety consequences of driving after alcohol or drugs, and how impairment affects reaction time, judgement and vision
Identify the signs of driver fatigue and state the only reliable countermeasure, plus the limits of coffee, fresh air and music
List the main distraction sources (phone, navigation, passengers, food) and the practical rule for each

A personal anti-distraction and fatigue plan with 6 concrete rules, plus a 10-question self-quiz on impairment effects scored at 80% or better

Week 7

Sequence the steps for a breakdown or puncture on a highway, including warning-triangle placement, hazard lights and where to wait
Describe the immediate actions after a collision: securing the scene, calling for help, and what information to exchange
Explain basic first-aid awareness for bleeding, unconscious casualty and suspected spinal injury, and what a non-medical driver should not do
State how to handle a brake failure, a tyre blowout and a fire, and when to abandon the vehicle

A one-page emergency action card covering breakdown, collision and three mechanical emergencies, recited aloud without notes

Week 8

List the documents a driver must carry and the validity and renewal rules for licence, registration and insurance
Explain the difference between compulsory third-party cover and comprehensive cover, and what each pays for
Complete two full-length timed mock exams and review every error against the relevant domain
Re-drill the weakest domain from the mock results until its error rate falls below 10%

Two timed mock exams scored at 85% or higher, with a written error log and a final one-page summary of the rules that were most often missed

Week 2: Score at least 80% on a 20-question signals-and-priority self-test and explain every wrong answer in one sentence

Week 4: Reproduce the speed and stopping-distance table from memory and list 10 hazard cues without notes

Week 6: State 8 defensive habits and the legal consequences of impaired driving, scoring 80% or better on a 10-question quiz

Week 8: Pass two timed full-length mock exams at 85% or higher with no domain below 70%
