Category: Class C -6- Hazard Awareness, Hazard Prevention - Level 1

You are driving an N3 class truck here. What must you particularly consider when choosing your speed?

Overhanging branches can damage the truck body

Leaves on the road cause an exceptionally long braking distance

The road is so narrow that a safe encounter with oncoming traffic is not possible

There is a high probability of wildlife crossing

You are driving an N3 class truck here. How must you behave when oncoming traffic appears?

I have priority as long as no larger vehicle than my truck is coming

I stop preferably so that there is no tree beside my truck

After I have stopped, I communicate with the driver of the oncoming vehicle about who gives way

I steer my truck between the trees into the grass

You are driving an N3 class truck at 80 km/h and want to exit the motorway at this exit. The white car is standing on the deceleration lane with hazard lights on. How should you behave?

I release the accelerator now. After I have passed the car, I fully change to the deceleration lane and brake

I now change to the deceleration lane and stop behind the car. Then I must provide first aid

I indicate right

I now change to the deceleration lane, brake to about 40 km/h and drive past the car with about 0.5 m side distance

Category: Class C -6- Hazard Awareness, Hazard Prevention - Level 1

You are driving a fully loaded N3 class truck. What must you observe if you want to exit the motorway here?

I must adjust my speed to the limited visibility in the curve

I may only brake in the exit curve to avoid endangering traffic on the motorway

I must adjust my speed so that the truck does not tip over

Due to the guide angles, I must expect the exit curve to have a particularly tight radius

7 / 15

The engine could become overloaded

The truck could start sliding

The brakes could overheat

8 / 15

Category: Class C -6- Hazard Awareness, Hazard Prevention - Level 1

If the load shifts due to inadequate cargo securing

If the load consists of beef or pork halves hanging from the ceiling in a refrigerated body

If driving too slowly in the exit curve

If the truck including cargo has a high center of gravity

9 / 15

Category: Class C -6- Hazard Awareness, Hazard Prevention - Level 1

You are driving an N3 class truck here. Does the truck need snow chains?

You are driving a truck on this motorway at 80 km/h and want to continue straight ahead. What dangers should you expect here?

A vehicle from the left lane could be steered to the right onto the deceleration lane just in front of my truck

The blue car could be braked and steered onto the right lane

The foreign motorhome ahead of me could brake unexpectedly at the exit

A vehicle could overtake on the right on the emergency lane

12 / 15

Category: Class C -6- Hazard Awareness, Hazard Prevention - Level 1

You are driving an N3 class truck at 80 km/h and want to exit the motorway at this exit. The white car is standing with hazard lights on the right on the deceleration lane. What dangers could arise if you behave incorrectly?

I could collide with the car if I change to the deceleration lane too early

People getting out of the car could be endangered

A rear-end collision with following vehicles could occur if I brake hard while still on the first lane of the motorway

The truck could tip over at the exit if I don't immediately brake to walking speed

13 / 15

Category: Class C -6- Hazard Awareness, Hazard Prevention - Level 1

You are driving an N3 class truck. In which area is the danger of overlooking other road users due to "blind spots" in the field of vision particularly great?

On the left side next to the truck

On the right side next to the truck

Directly in front of the windshield

Behind the truck

You are driving an N3 class truck. Must you exit to this control point?

Yes, definitely

Only if a toll supervision officer directs me to do so with hand signals

Only if a road supervision officer directs me to do so with hand signals

15 / 15

Category: Class C -6- Hazard Awareness, Hazard Prevention - Level 1

You are driving an unloaded N3 class truck. Why must you expect very low tire grip on the road surface here?

Because with an empty truck, the wheel load especially on the rear wheels is very high

Because tire grip on the road surface results from multiplying the friction coefficient between tire and road surface by the wheel load

Because the friction coefficient between tire and road surface only reaches about 0.2 on snow-covered roads

Because with an empty truck, the wheel load especially on the rear wheels is very low
