What you learn in class
topic 2
Human risk factor
Distraction, stress, emotions - people are the biggest risk in road traffic. Here you will learn to recognize your own misconduct and to evaluate situations soberly and confidently.
topic 3
Legal framework
Laws, duties, consequences. What is allowed on the road, what is not - and what happens if you violate it. Basic knowledge without exceptions.
topic 4

How our transport network is structured - and where particular dangers lurk. Level crossings are among the most critical points in everyday life. Here you will learn why and how to react correctly.
topic 5
Basic rule, right of way & traffic regulations
Who has the right of way - and why? The basic rules of road traffic are not optional. This topic gives you the tools to make clear decisions at intersections and in confusing situations.
topic 6
Traffic signs & traffic facilities
The language of the street in signs. Yield signs, prohibitions, commandments, markings: This topic trains your eye to read signs quickly and safely.
topic 7
Participants in road traffic
Not everyone is equally protected. Pedestrians, children, cyclists, motorcyclists — each group has its own vulnerabilities. Consideration is not a bonus, but a basic obligation.
topic 8
Speed
Speed is the difference between life and death. Reaction time, braking distance, impact force - this topic makes it clear why adjusted speed is not a recommendation, but a question of survival.
topic 9
Traffic observation & driving maneuvers
See, assess, act — in that order. Turning, overtaking, changing lanes: not just know maneuvers, but implement them proactively and safely.
topic 10
Stationary traffic
Stopping, parking, setting up - with clear rules. Where is what is allowed? What is considered a disability? This topic clarifies the most common everyday mistakes surrounding parking.
topic 11
Behavior in special situations
Accident, breakdown, emergency vehicle, bad weather - here you will learn how to stay calm in extraordinary situations, make the right decisions and not endanger others.
topic 12

Driving knowledge ages. Technology develops, rules change. Regular brushing up isn't a sign of weakness — it's a sign of responsibility.

What's under the hood — and why is it your responsibility? From tire pressure to securing loads: basic technical knowledge combined with conscious, environmentally friendly driving. Required by law.
