Explain how to place warning equipment and protect a breakdown on a high-speed road
Your checkpoint
A timed 25-question mixed test on domains 3 and 4 with a written review of every incorrect answer
Safety, accident prevention and emergency procedures & Driving and rest time rules (EU/EEA tachograph regulation)
Explain the EU driving and rest time rules as applied in Norway: daily and weekly driving limits, breaks, daily and weekly rest
Distinguish driving time, other work, availability and rest, and give an example of each
Describe the rules on ferry and train crossings, including the interruption of daily rest and the splitting of breaks
Explain what to do when a tachograph record is missing or faulty and how manual entries are made
Describe the emergency procedures for a fire in the load compartment and for a brake failure on a descent
Your checkpoint
A worked weekly schedule for a five-day driving week that satisfies driving, break and rest limits, with each rule cited

A one-page document checklist and inspection calendar for a sample combination, plus 30 practice questions on domains 5 and 6 with a written error log
Environment, economy and eco-driving & Health, fitness to drive and first aid
Apply eco-driving techniques to a heavy combination: progressive acceleration, use of momentum, gear selection and anticipation
Explain how tyre pressure, alignment, idling and aerodynamic fittings affect fuel consumption and cost per kilometre
Describe the Norwegian rules and practical concerns for winter operation: tyres, chains, and the duty to adapt speed to conditions
State the medical conditions and medications that affect fitness to drive and the duty to report a change in health
Describe first aid priorities at a crash scene, including airway, bleeding control, shock and safe removal of a helmet
Your checkpoint
A fuel-saving action list of 10 concrete driving habits with an estimated saving, plus a first-aid response card for a heavy-vehicle crash
Transport operations and goods handling & Road traffic law, signs and markings & Vehicle combination: coupling, load distribution and dimensions
Explain the carrier's and driver's responsibilities for cargo documentation, dangerous goods papers and load integrity during transport
Describe handling rules for temperature-controlled, fragile and dangerous goods at loading and unloading points
Revisit the heaviest domains with a full-length mixed mock test and identify remaining weak areas by domain

Your checkpoint
A full mock test score by domain with a one-page revision sheet covering the three weakest areas
Milestones
Week 2: Score at least 85 percent on a 40-question set drawn only from domains 1 and 2, and complete the coupling checklist from memory
Week 4: Score at least 80 percent on a 50-question mixed test covering domains 1 to 4, with no repeated error from earlier weeks
Week 6: Produce a correct five-day driving and rest schedule and a complete document checklist without referring to notes
Week 7: Score at least 85 percent on a 30-question set covering domains 7 and 8, and explain five eco-driving habits aloud
