FRSC Commercial Driver · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Road Safety

List the core road-safety duties of a commercial driver and state the legal basis for each
Explain the crash-prevention chain: hazard perception, following distance, speed choice, and defensive positioning
Define key road-safety terms in English and in the exam language so you can recognise them in either wording
Build a personal glossary of at least 25 road-safety terms with one-line definitions

A 25-term road-safety glossary plus a one-page summary of the commercial driver's safety duties

Week 2

Calculate safe following distances at 40, 60, and 80 km/h using the two-second rule and stopping-distance logic
Identify the main causes of commercial-vehicle crashes and match each to a preventive action
Describe fatigue, alcohol, and distraction effects on reaction time and how they are controlled
Explain load security, overloading, and passenger-safety rules that fall under road safety

A worked calculation sheet showing following and stopping distances at three speeds with the assumptions stated

Week 3

Explain the driver's role in road-safety public education campaigns
Summarise how road-safety messaging targets high-risk behaviours such as speeding and phone use
Draft a short safety briefing you could deliver to other drivers
Link each road-safety rule to the behaviour it is meant to change

A five-minute road-safety briefing script with three key messages and a call to action

Week 4

List the licence classes, codes, and endorsements relevant to commercial driving
Explain the requirements to obtain, renew, and replace a driver's licence
Describe the medical and vision fitness requirements and how they are assessed

Identify the main channels used for driver education and their strengths and limits
Explain how enforcement and education work together to change behaviour

Week 8

Review all four domains using your own notes and correct every missed self-test question
Answer timed practice questions under exam conditions and track accuracy per domain
Re-explain the five weakest concepts aloud without notes
Confirm the exam-day logistics and required documents

A full timed mock exam with a per-domain accuracy score and a written list of concepts still needing review

Week 2: Score at least 80% on a 20-question road-safety self-test and explain three crash causes from memory

Week 4: Complete the licence-class table from memory and correctly answer 15 of 20 licence questions

Week 6: Walk through the registration process unaided and score at least 80% on the registration self-test
