Norway Theory Test - Category D1 case studies
Norway Theory Test - Category D1 · Put your knowledge to work in context.
Klasse D1 is the Norwegian driving licence class for minibuses: vehicles designed to carry more than eight passengers in addition to the driver, up to a defined maximum length and mass. The theory test checks that you can handle that responsibility before you drive with passengers on board, so the questions go well beyond ordinary car theory. The Norway Theory Test - Category D1 case studies are 5 cases and about 3,993 words.
