North Macedonia Motorcycle Theory A study plan
North Macedonia Motorcycle Theory A · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Traffic regulations and road signs
Classify every Macedonian road-sign group (warning, priority, prohibition, mandatory, information, service) and state the rider action each demands.
Recite the default urban and rural speed limits, the general stopping and parking prohibitions, and the document-carrying duty for category A riders.
Explain how traffic-light and police-controller signals override static signs and markings, with two worked examples.
Build a personal sign-error log and tag each miss by sign group so weak groups are visible.
Your checkpoint
A one-page sign-group cheat sheet plus a 40-item self-quiz scored at 85% or better.
Traffic regulations and road signs & Road markings, signals and traffic-control instructions
Distinguish the priority-road, stop, and yield sign combinations and state who must give way in each case.
Read longitudinal and transverse road markings (centre lines, edge lines, stop lines, hatched areas) and state whether crossing is legal.
Identify the situations where a rider may legally cross a solid line or enter a bus lane.
Match each marking to its governing sign and note the conflicts you find.
Your checkpoint
A completed 50-question mixed signs-and-markings test with every wrong answer rewritten as a correct rule sentence.
Right-of-way, intersections and priority rules
Apply the right-hand rule at unmarked equal-priority intersections without hesitating.
Rank priority for trams, emergency vehicles with active signals, and vehicles already inside the intersection.
Solve roundabout entry and exit priority, including the obligation to signal on exit.
Decide who yields when turning left across oncoming traffic, entering from a field path, or reversing out of a driveway.
Your checkpoint
A sketched set of 10 intersection scenarios with the correct priority order written for each.
Right-of-way, intersections and priority rules & Safe riding, speed choice and following distance
Set safe following distance using the two-second rule and adjust it for rain, gravel, and night riding.
Choose a speed that matches visibility, curve radius, and surface rather than the posted maximum alone.
Explain braking distance growth with speed and the added risk of a wet or dirty road surface.
Plan overtaking only where sight distance and markings permit, and abort cleanly when in doubt.
Your checkpoint
A timed 30-question priority-and-speed set completed with no more than three errors.
Safe riding, speed choice and following distance & Hazard perception and defensive riding
Scan for the top five urban hazards: car doors, pedestrians stepping out, turning vehicles across your path, slippery markings, and blind junctions.
Position in the lane to stay visible and to keep an escape route in traffic.
Anticipate the behaviour of trucks, buses, and cyclists at junctions and in your blind spots.
React to a simulated sudden hazard within a measured perception-to-brake interval.
Your checkpoint
A written hazard log of 15 real or video-observed situations with the defensive action you would take.
Motorcycle vehicle knowledge, equipment and protective gear
Perform and document the pre-ride check: tyres, brakes, lights, chain, fluid levels, mirrors, and controls.
Explain helmet fit, visor condition, and the protective value of gloves, jacket, boots, and back protection.
Describe how wet brakes, cold tyres, and a loaded bike change handling and braking.
Identify the legal equipment minimums for a category A motorcycle in North Macedonia.
Your checkpoint
A signed pre-ride checklist plus a 20-question equipment quiz scored at 90% or better.
Alcohol, drugs, fatigue, medicines and fitness to ride & First aid, crash behaviour and emergency procedures
State the legal alcohol limit and the realistic elimination time, and name the medicines that impair riding.
Recognise fatigue and the correct response: stop, rest, and do not push through.
Sequence the crash scene: secure the area, call emergency services, and give the location clearly.
Apply basic first aid for an unresponsive rider, bleeding, and suspected spinal injury without moving the casualty unnecessarily.
Your checkpoint
A one-page emergency card with the emergency number, the crash-action sequence, and first-aid steps.
Documentation, obligations, penalties and insurance & Traffic regulations and road signs & Right-of-way, intersections and priority rules
List the documents a rider must carry and the insurance duties after a crash or vehicle sale.
Explain the penalty categories for speeding, alcohol, and riding without a licence or insurance.
Re-run full mock exams under timed conditions and review every error against its domain.
Close remaining gaps in the two heaviest domains before the test date.
Your checkpoint
Three full timed mock exams, each scored at 90% or better, with a final error review sheet.
Milestones
Week 2: Score at least 85% on a 50-item signs-and-markings test and explain every miss aloud without notes.
Week 4: Resolve 10 mixed priority scenarios correctly and justify each with the applicable rule.
Week 6: Complete the pre-ride checklist from memory and score 90% on the equipment quiz.
Week 8: Pass three consecutive full timed mock exams at 90% or better, with no domain below 80%.
