Norway Category D Bus Theory Test study guide

Norway Category D Bus Theory Test · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.

The Norwegian Category D theory test is the knowledge component of the driving licence required to drive a bus - a vehicle designed and constructed for carrying more than eight passengers in addition to the driver. You need it if you are training for a professional bus career, upgrading from a lighter category, or renewing competence in some situations. The Norway Category D Bus Theory Test study guide has 9 sections and about 2,982 words.

Traffic rules and road signs (Trafikkregler og skilt)

This domain tests whether you can apply Norway's priority rules, speed limits, lane rules and sign meanings to a Category D bus, including bus-specific privileges and duties. Norway drives on the right.

395 words, about 2 min 02

Vehicle knowledge: bus construction, systems and inspection (Kjøretøyteknikk)

This domain tests the bus as a machine: air-brake system, doors and interlocks, steering and suspension, tyres, lights, warning systems and the periodic inspection regime. Most Category D buses use air brakes.

363 words, about 2 min 03

Driving technique and vehicle handling with a bus (Kjøreteknikk)

This domain tests low-speed precision and high-speed stability in a long, heavy, high-centre-of-gravity vehicle. Brake earlier and more gently than in a car.

338 words, about 2 min 04

Safe driving, hazard perception and defensive driving (Sikkerhetsbevissthet)

This domain tests whether you see risk early and choose a safe plan before a situation becomes an emergency. Scan far ahead, then near, then mirrors.

317 words, about 2 min 05

Passenger safety, seat belts, emergency exits and evacuation (Passasjersikkerhet)

This domain tests your responsibility for passengers before, during and after an incident. Where seat belts are fitted, passengers must use them.

312 words, about 2 min 06

Driving and rest time rules, tachograph and working conditions (Kjøre- og hviletid)

This domain tests the EU/EEA driving-and-rest rules that Norway applies to bus drivers, plus correct tachograph use. Daily driving: 9 hours, extendable to 10 hours twice in a week.

317 words, about 2 min 07

Load, dimensions, weights and special transport (Last og mål)

This domain tests whether you can keep the bus within legal dimensions and axle/total weights and secure everything carried. General Norwegian limits: width 2.55 m, height 4.0 m.

316 words, about 2 min 08

First aid, fire protection and incident management (Førstehjelp og brannvern)

This domain tests immediate life-saving action and scene control at a bus incident. Scene safety first: stop safely, hazard lights, high-vis vest, warning triangle where required, and keep passengers away from traffic.

326 words, about 2 min 09

Environment, economy and eco-driving (Miljø og økonomisk kjøring)

This domain tests fuel/energy-efficient driving without losing safety or schedule reliability. Anticipate: look far ahead, release the accelerator early for a lower limit, junction or bus stop, and let the bus roll.
