Cambodia Category B Driving Test study plan

Cambodia Category B Driving Test · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Cambodian Traffic Law and Road Regulations

  • List the main categories of Cambodian road users, road types (national road, provincial road, urban street), and the authorities responsible for traffic enforcement, without notes.

  • State the default speed limits that apply to cars in built-up areas, outside built-up areas, and on national roads, and explain what changes them (signs, road works, weather).

  • Explain the legal rules on seat belts, helmet use for motorcyclists, and carrying passengers or loads beyond the vehicle's registered capacity.

  • Describe the documents a Category B driver must carry while driving and who may demand to see them.

  • Summarise the penalties attached to the five most common moving violations (speeding, running a red light, wrong-side driving, driving without a licence, using a phone while driving).

Your checkpoint

A one-page handwritten summary sheet of speed limits, required documents, and penalty ranges, self-quizzed to 90% accuracy.

Week 2

Traffic Signs, Signals, and Road Markings

  • Classify every warning sign shape and colour used in Cambodia and state what each shape obliges the driver to do.

  • Draw from memory the ten regulatory signs most often tested (stop, give way, no entry, speed limit, no overtaking, no parking, compulsory direction, weight limit, no horn, pedestrian zone).

  • Interpret the standard road markings: solid and broken centre lines, edge lines, stop lines, zebra crossings, chevron areas, and yellow kerb markings.

  • Explain the correct response to each traffic-light state, including flashing amber, flashing red, and a green light with a blocked junction ahead.

  • Identify the signs a driver must obey even when a police officer's hand signals contradict them, and describe how to read hand signals from a traffic officer.

Your checkpoint

A 40-item self-made sign-and-marking flashcard deck, scored at 90% or better in a single timed run.

Week 3

Cambodian Traffic Law and Road Regulations & Right-of-Way and Intersection Rules

  • Apply the right-of-way hierarchy at uncontrolled junctions: main road versus side road, straight versus turning, and the give-way-to-the-right convention where no signs exist.

  • Sequence the correct actions at a four-way stop, including who moves first when two cars arrive simultaneously.

  • Describe how to enter and exit a roundabout, including lane choice, signalling, and yielding to traffic already circulating.

  • Explain pedestrian priority at zebra crossings, at junctions without markings, and when a pedestrian is already on the roadway.

  • List the situations in which overtaking is legally prohibited and where U-turns are not allowed.

Your checkpoint

Twelve written junction scenarios, each answered with the correct order of priority and a two-sentence legal justification.

Week 4

Safe Driving Principles and Defensive Driving

  • Define the safe following distance in seconds for dry, wet, and night conditions and demonstrate the counting method in a parked-car drill.

  • Identify the six most common crash causes in Cambodian traffic and match each to a preventive habit.

  • Describe hazard-perception scanning: mirror checks, blind-spot checks, and looking ahead 12 seconds in urban traffic.

  • Explain how to share the road safely with motorcycles, tuk-tuks, cyclists, and pedestrians who enter the carriageway unexpectedly.

  • Plan a defensive response to common local hazards such as overtaking on blind bends, animals on the road, and vehicles joining from unpaved shoulders.

Your checkpoint

A hazard log of 20 real situations observed during one week of driving or riding as a passenger, each with the action taken or that should have been taken.

Week 5

Vehicle Controls and Basic Vehicle Handling

  • Explain the purpose and correct use of the clutch, brake, accelerator, and gear lever during pull-away, hill start, and smooth stopping.

  • Describe the correct steering technique for a three-point turn and for reversing into a parking space, including mirror and shoulder checks.

  • State the correct hand positions and the procedure for signalling, and explain why coasting in neutral is unsafe.

  • Explain how speed, gear, and engine braking interact on a long downhill descent in wet conditions.

  • Describe the correct response to a skid, a tyre blowout at speed, and brake fade.

Your checkpoint

A step-by-step written procedure for hill start, three-point turn, and parallel parking, each with at least six ordered steps and the checks performed at each stage.

Week 6

Alcohol, Drugs, and Driver Fitness & Emergency Procedures and Accident Response

  • State the legal blood-alcohol limits for drivers in Cambodia and the penalties for refusing a breath test.

  • Explain how alcohol, fatigue, and common medicines impair reaction time and judgement, and list the signs of impairment in yourself and other drivers.

  • List the immediate duties of a driver involved in a collision, including stopping, assisting the injured, and reporting to police.

  • Describe the correct first actions at a crash scene: securing the area, warning oncoming traffic, calling for help, and not moving an injured person unless there is fire or traffic danger.

  • Explain what to record after a collision and how to behave toward other parties without admitting or denying fault.

Your checkpoint

A one-page accident-response checklist carried in the vehicle, covering scene safety, emergency contact numbers, and the information to exchange.

Week 7

Vehicle Maintenance and Pre-Drive Checks & Licensing, Documentation, and Penalties

  • Perform and document a daily pre-drive check: tyres and pressures, lights, fluids, wipers, mirrors, and brake feel.

  • Explain the legal minimum tyre tread, the meaning of the tyre markings, and how to identify an underinflated tyre by handling.

  • Describe the warning signs of brake, steering, and cooling-system faults and what to do when a dashboard warning light appears.

  • List the documents required for a Category B licence application or renewal and the validity period of the licence and vehicle inspection.

  • State what happens on the licence points or penalty system for repeat offences and how a licence can be suspended or revoked.

Your checkpoint

A completed pre-drive inspection sheet for your own vehicle plus a written list of all licence and vehicle documents with their expiry dates.

Week 8

Cambodian Traffic Law and Road Regulations & Traffic Signs, Signals, and Road Markings & Safe Driving Principles and Defensive Driving & Vehicle Controls and Basic Vehicle Handling & Right-of-Way and Intersection Rules & Alcohol, Drugs, and Driver Fitness & Emergency Procedures and Accident Response & Vehicle Maintenance and Pre-Drive Checks & Licensing, Documentation, and Penalties

  • Re-test every weak area flagged in weeks 1 to 7, spending the most time on domains 1 and 2.

  • Complete two full-length timed mock exams under test conditions and review every wrong answer to its source rule.

  • Recite the speed limits, penalty ranges, right-of-way rules, and alcohol limits from memory without prompts.

  • Run a final sign-and-marking drill covering all 40 flashcards plus 20 new signs, aiming for 95% accuracy.

  • Rehearse the accident-response checklist and pre-drive inspection aloud as if explaining them to an examiner.

Your checkpoint

Two completed mock exams scoring 90% or higher, with a written correction note for every missed question.

Milestones

Week 2: Score 90% or higher on the 40-item sign and marking flashcard run, and correctly state all default speed limits from memory.

Week 4: Answer all twelve junction scenarios correctly and complete the 20-entry hazard log with a justified action for each entry.

Week 6: Recite the alcohol limits and the full accident-response sequence from memory, and produce the in-vehicle checklist.

Week 8: Achieve 90% or higher on two timed full-length mock exams, with no domain scoring below 70%.
