CBR Car Theory B study plan
CBR Car Theory B · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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%
