Safe driving behavior, speed, and following distance (رانندگی ایمن و فاصله ایمن) & Heavy vehicle mechanical systems, brakes, and pre-trip inspection (سیستمهای فنی و بازدید خودرو)
Perform a documented pre-trip inspection covering brakes, tyres, lights, fluids, couplings, and load security, using a checklist.
Explain the operation and failure symptoms of air-brake systems, including low-pressure warning, compressor cut-in, and slack adjuster checks.
Describe the correct response to brake fade, loss of air pressure, and a tyre blowout at highway speed.
Identify the legal minimum tread depth and tyre condition requirements for heavy vehicles in Iran.
Your checkpoint
A completed pre-trip inspection checklist signed off on a real or simulated vehicle, plus a 1-page fault-symptom table.
Hazardous cargo and cargo securing (حمل مواد خطرناک و ایمنسازی بار) & Accidents, first aid, and emergency response (تصادفات و کمکهای اولیه)
Classify hazardous cargo into the nine UN hazard classes and state the placarding and documentation requirements for each.
Describe the segregation rules that prevent incompatible hazardous materials from being loaded together.
Demonstrate the DRABC primary survey and recovery position on a training mannequin or partner.
Outline the steps for securing an accident scene, including warning triangles, hazard lights, and calling emergency services.
Your checkpoint
A hazardous-cargo placard and segregation reference card plus a practical first-aid and scene-management demonstration checklist.
Accidents, first aid, and emergency response (تصادفات و کمکهای اولیه) & Driver licensing, penalties, and legal responsibilities (مقررات گواهینامه و تخلفات)
List the licence categories, medical certificate validity periods, and renewal requirements for heavy vehicle drivers in Iran.
State the penalty points, fines, and licence suspension thresholds for the ten most common heavy-vehicle offences.
Explain the driver's legal duties after a collision, including reporting timelines and required information exchange.
Describe the process for contesting a traffic violation and the role of the insurance company in accident claims.
Your checkpoint
A two-page legal responsibilities summary with a penalty-point table and a step-by-step post-collision action list.
Fatigue, alcohol, drugs, and medical fitness (خستگی، مواد و سلامت راننده) & Traffic rules and right-of-way (قوانین عبور و مرور و حق تقدم) & Road signs, signals, and road markings (علائم راهنمایی و رانندگی) & Heavy vehicle loading, dimensions, and weight limits (بار و ابعاد و وزن مجاز) & Safe driving behavior, speed, and following distance (رانندگی ایمن و فاصله ایمن) & Heavy vehicle mechanical systems, brakes, and pre-trip inspection (سیستمهای فنی و بازدید خودرو) & Hazardous cargo and cargo securing (حمل مواد خطرناک و ایمنسازی بار) & Accidents, first aid, and emergency response (تصادفات و کمکهای اولیه) & Driver licensing, penalties, and legal responsibilities (مقررات گواهینامه و تخلفات)
