CBR Car Theory B study plan

CBR Car Theory B · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Traffic rules and priority

  • Map out the Dutch priority hierarchy from memory: list the order in which traffic lights, signs, road markings, and the default right-before-left rule override one another

  • Work through 40 intersection scenarios and state aloud who goes first and which rule decides it

  • Write a one-page cheat sheet of priority exceptions, including exits from driveways, unpaved roads, and 30 km/h zones

Your checkpoint

A hand-drawn priority flowchart plus a scored set of 40 intersection decisions with at least 90% correct

Week 2

Traffic rules and priority & Traffic signs, signals and road markings

  • Match every priority-related sign (yield, stop, priority road, built-up area) to its precise legal meaning without looking at notes

  • Explain how road markings such as shark teeth, stop lines, and give-way triangles change the default rule

  • Solve 50 mixed sign-and-priority questions under a 45-second-per-question timer

Your checkpoint

A sign-to-rule matching table covering at least 25 signs and markings, plus a timed quiz log showing your accuracy per question

Week 3

Traffic signs, signals and road markings

  • Categorise all warning, prohibition, and instruction signs into groups and recite three examples per group

  • Describe the meaning of each traffic light configuration, including flashing amber, arrows, and tram signals

  • Interpret lane markings, bus lanes, and yellow kerb lines in urban and rural contexts

Your checkpoint

A flashcard deck of 60 signs and signals with self-test scores recorded twice during the week

Week 4

Safe and responsible driving behaviour

  • State the legal alcohol limit, the rules on phone use, and the seatbelt and child-restraint obligations

  • Identify the top five crash causes for young drivers and explain one countermeasure for each

  • Apply following-distance and speed-adaptation rules to ten written road scenarios

Your checkpoint

A two-page personal risk profile listing your three weakest behaviour topics and a verified 80%+ score on a 40-question behaviour set

Week 5

Vehicle control and manoeuvring

  • Sequence the steps of pulling away, reversing, and parking in the correct order, including mirror and blind-spot checks

  • Explain clutch control, stalling recovery, and gear selection for uphill starts on a manual car

  • Describe how ABS, ESC, and tyre grip affect braking distance in wet and dry conditions

Your checkpoint

A written step-by-step checklist for five manoeuvres, each with the observation points marked

Week 6

Hazard perception and anticipation

  • Scan ten described traffic scenes and name the single biggest developing hazard in each within 10 seconds

  • Explain how to anticipate hazards from parked cars, cyclists, children, and blind corners

  • Build a routine for mirror checks and observation before every change of direction

Your checkpoint

A hazard log of ten scenarios with your identified hazard, reaction, and a comparison against the expected answer

Week 7

Vehicle knowledge, maintenance and environment

  • List the legal minimum tread depth, the meaning of dashboard warning lights, and the weekly check routine for tyres, oil, coolant, and lights

  • Explain how tyre pressure and roof racks affect fuel use and emissions

  • Describe what to do after a breakdown on a motorway and how to use a warning triangle safely

Your checkpoint

A completed vehicle-check sheet for a real or simulated car, plus a one-page maintenance and environment summary

Week 8

Traffic rules and priority & Traffic signs, signals and road markings & Safe and responsible driving behaviour & Vehicle control and manoeuvring & Hazard perception and anticipation & Vehicle knowledge, maintenance and environment

  • Sit three full-length mock exams under real time conditions and record every wrong answer with its domain

  • Re-study only the domains where your mock accuracy falls below 85%

  • Recite the priority hierarchy and the ten most-missed signs from memory one final time

Your checkpoint

Three timed mock exam scores, all at or above 85%, with a corrected error log

Milestones

Week 2: Score at least 85% on a 50-question mixed priority and sign quiz without notes

Week 4: Score at least 80% on a 40-question behaviour and sign set and finish the 60-card sign deck twice

Week 6: Correctly identify the primary hazard in 8 of 10 described scenes within 10 seconds each

Week 8: Pass three consecutive full-length mock exams at 85% or higher with no domain below 80%
