Norway Theory Test - Category CE study guide
Norway Theory Test - Category CE · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Norwegian theory test for driving licence category CE is the knowledge component of the qualification to drive a lorry with a heavy trailer - a rigid vehicle or tractor unit coupled to a trailer whose permitted maximum mass exceeds 750 kg. The class is aimed at professional drivers and at private candidates who need the combination entitlement, and it builds on the C category: you must already hold (or be qualifying for) class C before CE can be issued. The Norway Theory Test - Category CE study guide has 10 sections and about 3,247 words.
01Road traffic law
This domain covers vegtrafikkloven, trafikkreglene and the extra rules that apply to combinations over 3.5 tonnes. The CE exam checks whether you can decide which rule wins when a posted limit, a sign and a vehicle-class rule disagree.
328 words, about 2 min02Signs and markings
Sign questions test whether you read a restriction as it applies to your combination: weight, height, length and the vehicle-with-trailer symbol. Prohibition: circular with red border (no entry, weight limit, trailer prohibited).
298 words, about 1 min03Vehicle combination: coupling, load distribution and dimensions
This domain tests the physical facts of the rig: what it may measure, what it may weigh, and how the tractor and trailer are joined and checked. Width 2.55 m (2.60 m for insulated or refrigerated bodies), height 4.00 m.
354 words, about 2 min04Driving technique and handling of heavy combinations
The exam checks whether you can manage mass, momentum and geometry: braking on descents, cornering with a trailer, and staying stable on poor surfaces. Kinetic energy rises with mass, but brake and tyre capacity does not.
340 words, about 2 min05Safety, accident prevention and emergency procedures
This domain covers preventing the incident and behaving correctly when it has happened: securing the scene, calling for help, and handling vehicle failures. Pre-trip checks (tyres, brakes, lights, load securing, coupling) are the first line.
342 words, about 2 min06Driving and rest time rules (EU/EEA tachograph regulation)
Regulation 561/2006 is applied in Norway, and the exam tests both the arithmetic and the classification of time as driving, other work, availability or rest. Break: after 4.5 h driving, take 45 min, splittable into 15 min then 30 min.
318 words, about 2 min07Vehicle documentation, tachograph and periodic inspection
This domain tests the paperwork and calibration regime that keeps the combination legal on the road. Driving licence with CE, registration certificates for tractor and trailer, valid periodic inspection record, insurance, transport authorisation or community licence, driver attestation where posting rules apply, ADR certificate if dangerous goods are carried, and tachograph printouts or manual records.
294 words, about 1 min08Environment, economy and eco-driving
This domain tests fuel and emissions management in a heavy combination: where consumption actually goes and how planning and driving style change it. At 40 t, rolling resistance, air drag and driving style dominate.
301 words, about 2 min09Health, fitness to drive and first aid
This domain combines the medical standards for the CE licence with practical first aid at a collision scene. Group 2 medical standards apply: corrected visual acuity, visual field and colour vision must meet the requirements, and a medical certificate (helseattest) is needed for the CE licence.
331 words, about 2 min10Transport operations and goods handling
This domain covers the commercial side: the paperwork that must match the load, planning mass across the combination, and securing the goods to a measurable standard. Domestic transport uses a consignment note; international transport uses CMR.
