CBR Motorcycle Theory A study plan

Classify every road-sign family (danger, prohibition, mandatory, information, priority) and state the rider action each demands

Match Dutch priority signs and traffic-light configurations to the correct right-of-way outcome in 30 written scenarios

Draw the standard sign shapes and colours from memory and self-score against a checklist until 90% correct

Build a one-page personal error log of signs you confuse and review it at the end of each study session

Apply priority-to-the-right, priority-road and exit-from-driveway rules to 25 junction descriptions without hesitation

Explain how roundabouts, tram priority and unmarked junctions change the default right-of-way rule

Interpret road markings (shark teeth, stop lines, hatched areas, bus lanes) and state what each permits or forbids

Resolve 20 mixed sign-plus-rule conflict scenarios and justify each answer in one sentence

Demonstrate countersteering, slow-speed control and emergency swerving in a closed practice area and note what felt unstable

Practise observation routines (mirror checks, shoulder checks, junction scanning) until they become a fixed sequence before every manoeuvre

Position the motorcycle correctly for left turns, right turns, lane changes and filtering in 15 described situations

List the blind-spot zones of a motorcycle and of typical cars and trucks, and state where you should never sit in traffic

Scan 20 short road-scene descriptions and name the single biggest developing hazard in each within 10 seconds

Identify typical motorcycle crash patterns (junction incursion, overtaking collision, loss of control in a bend, rear-end) and state the preventive action for each

Ride or simulate 30 minutes of urban traffic while narrating hazards aloud, then review the recording for missed cues

Explain how surface hazards (wet paint, tram rails, gravel, manhole covers) affect grip and braking and what line to choose

Calculate two-second and four-second following gaps at 30, 50, 80 and 100 km/h and state the minimum gap for each condition

Compute stopping distance as thinking distance plus braking distance for wet and dry surfaces and explain why the wet figure roughly doubles

Describe how speed affects bend geometry, sight distance and impact severity, using at least three concrete examples

Plan a route with speed-limit changes and zone-30 areas and justify the chosen speed for each segment

Inspect a helmet for fit, certification marking, age and damage, and state the replacement rule you will follow

Select and justify jacket, gloves, trousers, boots and back protector for three riding conditions (summer commute, rain, winter)

Perform a pre-ride check (tyres, chain, brakes, lights, fluids, controls) and record the readings

Explain tyre pressure, tread depth and chain tension effects on handling, and state the inspection intervals you will use

Sequence the correct actions at a crash scene: secure the location, alert emergency services, assess casualties, provide first aid within your competence

State the emergency number, what information to give and how to describe a location on a motorway or rural road

Demonstrate the recovery position, bleeding control and helmet-removal decision rule on a training dummy or under instruction

Describe what to record after an incident (other party details, witnesses, photos, insurer notification) and what not to admit

Sit two full-length timed mock exams and record the score per domain to expose remaining weak areas

Re-study only the two weakest domains using your own error logs and notes

Recite the priority rules, following-distance figures and pre-ride checklist from memory without notes

Review every logged error once more and confirm each is now answered correctly
