Jordan Driving Theory Heavy study guide
Jordan Driving Theory Heavy · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Jordan Driving Theory Heavy Vehicle Test is the written knowledge examination that candidates must pass to obtain a heavy vehicle driving licence in Jordan. It is aimed at drivers who intend to operate trucks, tankers, buses and other vehicles above the ordinary car category, and at existing drivers who need to add a heavy class to their licence. The Jordan Driving Theory Heavy study guide has 14 sections and about 4,886 words.
01Traffic Law for Heavy Vehicles in Jordan
This domain tests whether you can apply Jordanian road law to a truck or bus rather than to a private car. Questions are built on the Traffic Law No.
428 words, about 2 min02Signs and Road Markings
This section tests instant recognition: can you read a sign's shape, colour and supplementary plate while moving, and can you apply road markings to a vehicle that is 2.5 m wide and 18 m long? Red ring or red circle : prohibition (no entry, no overtaking, weight or height limit).
387 words, about 2 min03Safe Driving and Defensive Driving Techniques
Defensive driving questions check whether you drive for the mistakes of others and for the physics of a loaded vehicle. A 30 t combination cannot be driven like a car: mass multiplies braking distance, and height multiplies rollover risk.
368 words, about 2 min04Vehicle Controls
This domain covers the controls unique to heavy vehicles: multi-range gearboxes, retarders and engine brakes, differential locks, air-assisted steering and the gauge set that tells you the vehicle is safe to move. Range and splitter changes are preselected before the move; do not split under full load or mid-corner.
327 words, about 2 min05Handling and Pre-Trip Inspection
The exam expects a repeatable daily inspection routine and an understanding of how a heavy vehicle behaves when it is tall, long and fully loaded. Check under and around the vehicle for fresh leaks, then fluids, belts and battery security.
320 words, about 2 min06Load Securing
Load securing questions test whether you understand the forces a load experiences, not whether you can count straps. Under emergency braking a load pushes forward with most of its weight; in a swerve it pushes sideways.
317 words, about 2 min07Weight Limits and Axle Loading
This domain tests the difference between gross weight, axle weight and tyre capacity - and whether you can move a load to make a vehicle legal rather than simply lighter. Gross vehicle weight and gross combination weight from the registration document and the manufacturer's plate.
351 words, about 2 min08Heavy Vehicle Braking Systems and Air Brakes
Air brake questions are the most technical in the heavy-vehicle paper. Learn the components, the daily tests and what each gauge reading means.
322 words, about 2 min09Hazard Perception and Emergency Response
Hazard perception questions show a developing situation and ask what you do first. The scoring rewards early observation and stable, predictable control - not dramatic swerving.
314 words, about 2 min10Driver Hours, Rest Periods and Fatigue Management
This domain is about recognising fatigue before it becomes a crash, and knowing the working-time framework a Jordanian commercial driver works inside. 8 of 1996 sets ordinary working time at 8 hours a day and 48 hours a week, with rest breaks and regulated overtime.
356 words, about 2 min11First Aid
First aid questions at heavy-vehicle level assume a large scene with serious injuries, one driver and no help for several minutes. Answers are judged on sequence and on not making things worse.
338 words, about 2 min12Fire Safety and Incident Procedures
Truck fires usually start in a wheel-end, the wiring, or from a fuel or oil leak onto a hot exhaust. Questions test whether you attack a small fire correctly or get people away from a large one.
365 words, about 2 min13Environmental and Fuel-Efficient Driving
Fuel-efficient driving is scored as a technique, not an attitude. The exam looks for smooth control, correct gear choice, planned routes and maintained equipment - the same habits that cut brake and tyre wear.
357 words, about 2 min14Vehicle Documentation, Licensing and Insurance
This domain is pure marks for knowing what must be in the cab and valid on the day you drive. A missing or expired document can end a trip at the first checkpoint.
