Norway Theory Test - Category D1 study guide
Norway Theory Test - Category D1 · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
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 study guide has 7 sections and about 2,221 words.
01Traffic rules and road signs
This section checks whether you can apply the Norwegian Road Traffic Act (vegtrafikkloven) and Traffic Regulations (trafikkreglene) to a D1 bus, not just recite sign shapes. Expect right-of-way, speed, lane position, bus stops, parking and sign priority.
350 words, about 2 min02Safe driving and hazard perception
The exam tests whether you spot hazards early and adjust speed, space and attention before a situation becomes an emergency. D1 buses add passenger movement, stop routines, school children and heavy-vehicle blind spots.
317 words, about 2 min03Vehicle knowledge, load and passenger safety for class D1
This domain covers the D1 vehicle itself, pre-trip checks, weight limits, load securing and passenger safety. In Norway, class D1 is a passenger vehicle with more than 8 and no more than 16 passenger seats in addition to the driver's seat, and a maximum length of 8 m.
319 words, about 2 min04Driving and rest time rules, tachograph and working conditions
This section tests the EU/EEA driving-and-rest-time rules that apply to passenger transport, plus practical tachograph use and working conditions.

315 words, about 2 min06Environment, economy and defensive driving

297 words, about 1 min07Driver responsibilities, documentation and transport regulations
This section checks your legal responsibility as a D1 driver: licence and competence, documents, alcohol and drug rules, accident duties and transport regulations.
