North Macedonia Truck Theory C study plan

Map the right-of-way hierarchy for uncontrolled intersections, roundabouts, pedestrian crossings, railway crossings, and emergency-vehicle approaches, and write the deciding rule for each in one page.

Apply Category C speed limits to urban, extra-urban, and motorway scenarios, including reduced limits for heavy vehicles, weather, and roadworks.

Resolve 20 written right-of-way scenarios using a four-step procedure: scan, identify, predict, decide; cite the rule used for each answer.

Define safe overtaking, following, lane-change, and turning rules for a laden truck, including locations where overtaking is prohibited.

Rank traffic controls by legal force (police officer, traffic lights, signs, markings) and resolve 10 conflict scenarios in the correct order.

Interpret warning, prohibition, mandatory, and information signs commonly met on Category C routes, including weight and dimension restrictions.

Read lane markings, stop lines, hatched areas, directional arrows, and parking restrictions without hesitating.

Solve 15 mixed sign-and-right-of-way conflicts and justify each answer in one sentence.

Decode traffic-light phases, flashing amber, arrow filters, pedestrian signals, and temporary roadworks signals.

Identify high-risk defensive-driving situations: blind spots, tailgaters, cyclists, pedestrians, motorcyclists, and farm vehicles.

Set following distance for a laden truck at 50 km/h and 80 km/h using the two-second rule plus a heavy-vehicle safety margin.

Plan speed, lighting, and gap adjustments for night, rain, fog, and strong crosswind conditions.

Perform a documented daily walkaround inspection in a fixed sequence: lights, tyres, fluids, air pressure, coupling, load security, and emergency equipment.

Check tyre tread, damage, pressures, wheel nuts, and load-sensing valve condition against Category C requirements.

Explain how ABS, EBS, retarders, and engine brakes change stopping behaviour on a laden truck.

Diagnose 10 common fault symptoms, including air-pressure loss, brake drag, uneven tyre wear, and warning-lamp meanings.

Calculate axle loads and gross vehicle mass for given payload positions and compare results with plate limits.

State the legal width, height, length, and gross-mass limits for a Category C vehicle and explain when a permit or escort is required.

Apply load-securement principles: lashing angles, friction, headboard use, load shift prevention, and restraint of loose items.

Distribute cargo to avoid rear-axle overload, understeer, oversteer, and brake imbalance.

Explain air-brake system components and perform daily brake tests: pressure build-up, leak check, low-pressure warning, and parking brake.

Describe brake fade, overheating, and the correct downhill braking procedure for a heavy vehicle.

Execute the emergency-stop sequence: steering control, brake application, clutch and gear handling, and post-stop safety.

Connect cargo shift or poor load distribution to longer stopping distance and reduced stability.

Operate a digital tachograph: insert the driver card, select the correct mode, make manual entries, and print a daily record.

Apply driving, break, daily rest, and weekly rest limits, and calculate a compliant 14-day schedule.

Execute the first-aid sequence: scene safety, emergency call, bleeding control, CPR, recovery position, and shock management.

Describe incident management: warning triangle, fire extinguisher use, casualty protection, and documentation.

List the documents carried in the cab: driving licence, driver CPC, registration, insurance, tachograph records, and transport documents.

Apply penalty points, liability rules, and roadside inspection consequences to 10 written scenarios.

Complete two full timed mock exams under exam conditions and review every incorrect answer against the rule.

Revisit all error logs from Weeks 1–7 and close remaining gaps in right-of-way, signs, and vehicle technology.
