Iran Heavy Vehicle Driving Theory study plan

Iran Heavy Vehicle Driving Theory · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Traffic rules and right-of-way (قوانین عبور و مرور و حق تقدم)

  • List and explain the five right-of-way priority rules for uncontrolled intersections, roundabouts, and merging lanes in Iran.

  • Diagram the correct lane positioning and signaling sequence for a heavy vehicle making a right turn at a multi-lane intersection.

  • Solve 20 scenario-based right-of-way questions with at least 90% accuracy, writing the rule citation for each answer.

  • Summarize the legal obligations at pedestrian crossings, school zones, and railway crossings in a one-page reference sheet.

Your checkpoint

A handwritten or typed one-page right-of-way cheat sheet plus a scored 20-question scenario quiz (target 90%).

Week 2

Traffic rules and right-of-way (قوانین عبور و مرور و حق تقدم) & Road signs, signals, and road markings (علائم راهنمایی و رانندگی)

  • Identify all mandatory, warning, and prohibitory sign shapes and colors used in Iran and state the required driver action for each category.

  • Match 30 road markings (lane lines, stop lines, hatched areas, yellow curb markings) to their legal meaning without reference.

  • Explain how traffic light phases, flashing signals, and police hand signals override or complement posted signs.

  • Complete a 15-minute timed drill on sign recognition with 95% or better recall.

Your checkpoint

A completed sign-and-marking identification log covering 50 items with correct meanings and a timed drill score sheet.

Week 3

Road signs, signals, and road markings (علائم راهنمایی و رانندگی) & Heavy vehicle loading, dimensions, and weight limits (بار و ابعاد و وزن مجاز)

  • State the maximum permitted height, width, length, and axle load limits for heavy vehicles on Iranian roads and note where permits are required.

  • Calculate the load distribution effect of shifting a 10-tonne payload 1.5 metres rearward on axle loads, showing the arithmetic.

  • Describe the correct procedure for securing a load with straps, chains, and tarpaulins, including tensioning and inspection points.

  • List the documents and markings required when carrying an oversized load, including escort and warning sign requirements.

Your checkpoint

A worked load-distribution problem set (5 calculations) plus a 1-page load-securing checklist.

Week 4

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)

  • Compute safe following distance in seconds and metres for a 40-tonne vehicle at 60, 70, and 80 km/h, accounting for reaction time and braking distance.

  • Explain how speed limits differ for heavy vehicles versus light vehicles on urban, rural, and highway roads in Iran.

  • Describe the effects of load weight, road gradient, and wet or icy surfaces on stopping distance and safe speed.

  • Identify five high-risk driving behaviours (tailgating, abrupt lane changes, etc.) and the corrective action for each.

Your checkpoint

A speed and following-distance calculation worksheet with a table of stopping distances at three speeds and three road conditions.

Week 5

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.

Week 6

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.

Week 7

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.

Week 8

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)

  • Identify the signs, causes, and countermeasures for driver fatigue, and plan a rest schedule for a 10-hour driving day.

  • State the legal blood alcohol limit and the penalties for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs in Iran.

  • Complete two full-length mock exams under timed conditions and score at least 85% on each.

  • Review every missed question from the mock exams and write a corrected explanation for each.

Your checkpoint

Two timed mock exam score sheets with a written error log of every missed question and its corrected explanation.

Milestones
