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

Week 1

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.

Week 2

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.

Week 3

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.

Week 4

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.

Week 5

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.

Week 6

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.

Week 7

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.

Week 8

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%.
