B licence - Car
6 lessons · 1 h 48 min of study
Start with everyday road rules, signs and vulnerable road users.
Build a safe passenger-car theory base, then practise by topic.
- Risk factors8 min
Risk factors are studied as a real cause of error: alcohol, drugs, speed, distraction, fatigue, adverse weather and overconfidence. In passenger cars on roads open to general traffic their effects tend to multiply, which is why the exam insists on anticipating and correcting before you lose control.
Read lesson and practise
- Driving and the environment8 min
Efficient, environmentally sound driving reduces fuel consumption, emissions, wear and risk. The DGT studies it as a way of driving better, not just as a financial saving, and it must always be compatible with safety and the rules in force.
Read lesson and practise
- Traffic rules8 min
Core topic for licence B: general rules of circulation, priority, speed, road position, manoeuvres, essential documentation and the punishable conduct most often asked about in the exam. Study it as practical decisions: who goes first, where you position yourself, when you must give way and how you reduce risk.
Read lesson and practise
- Road safety8 min
Road safety combines prevention, occupant protection and the correct reaction to an emergency. The theory exam usually mixes active safety, passive safety and the PAS response within the same question, so always study cause, consequence and safe conduct together.
Read lesson and practise
- Signs8 min
Master the hierarchy between officers, temporary signage, traffic lights, vertical signs and road markings. In the exam you must recognise which order prevails, what conduct each sign requires, and when a temporary indication changes what you would normally expect to see on the road.
Read lesson and practise
- Vulnerable road users8 min
Licence B requires you to drive with preventive priority towards pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and road users with less physical protection. A small driver error can have serious consequences, so the exam values anticipation, distance, moderate speed and reading the surroundings.
Read lesson and practise
AM licence - Moped
5 lessons · 1 h 40 min of study
Start with moped equipment, protection and low-speed control.
Prepare for the AM-specific theory path without borrowing the B syllabus.
- Vehicle equipment8 min
Before riding a moped you must know its basic equipment, check that it responds safely, and understand that a small fault on two wheels has bigger consequences than in a car. In the exam this topic appears as pre-ride checks and as the direct link between each mechanical fault and its risk.
Read lesson and practise
- Protective equipment8 min
On a moped, an approved helmet is mandatory, and the rest of the equipment, although not always mandatory, is decisive for reducing injuries and improving visibility and control. The exam distinguishes between what the rule requires and what, without being mandatory, is part of riding safely.
Read lesson and practise
- Risk factors8 min
Risk factors are studied as a real cause of error: alcohol, drugs, speed, distraction, fatigue, adverse weather and overconfidence. On mopeds their effects tend to multiply because of the rider's lower stability and lower physical protection.
Read lesson and practise
- Signs8 min
Master the hierarchy between officers, temporary signage, traffic lights, vertical signs and road markings, and study the current official catalogue with attention to the most recent updates. In the moped exam, many questions are solved by correctly applying that priority order.
Read lesson and practise
- Moped riding techniques8 min
Moped technique focuses on balance, where you look, progressive braking and visible positioning. The typical learner mistake is looking too close and reacting late, which is why the exam insists on anticipation and on not mistaking the vehicle's agility for permission to take risks.

Preventive maintenance of towing-vehicle-and-trailer combinations is part of road safety: it avoids breakdowns, reduces braking distance, improves stability and cuts down on errors in the exam and in real driving. In B+E you must check both the car and the trailer.
Read lesson and practise
- Regulations for combinations8 min
In B+E you must study authorised masses, coupling, load distribution, the stability of the combination and specific signalling for driving with a trailer or semi-trailer within the framework allowed by this class. The key is always to think of the towing vehicle and trailer as a single unit that is longer, heavier and slower to react.
Read lesson and practise
- Signs8 min
Master the hierarchy between officers, circumstantial signalling, traffic lights, vertical signs and road markings, and study the current official catalogue paying attention to how combinations with a trailer behave. In B+E you must read every sign thinking about mass, length, lane, stability and the section affected.
Read lesson and practise
- Trailer techniques8 min
Technique with a trailer is based on coupling correctly, driving smoothly, opening up your lines more and understanding the reversal of movements when manoeuvring in reverse. In B+E it's not enough to know how to move the car: you must anticipate how the whole combination responds.

Read lesson and practise
- Driver safety8 min
In LCM, driver safety depends on visibility, stability, adapted speed and prudent reading of the surroundings, because it is an especially exposed vehicle. The exam insists that low speed does not remove the risk and that being seen is an active responsibility.
Read lesson and practise
- Vulnerable road users8 min
In LCM two realities coincide: the driver themselves is very vulnerable, and they also share the road with pedestrians and other vulnerable users who require extra care. The exam wants you to understand that formal priority does not remove the risk and that visibility is everyone's responsibility.
Read lesson and practise
- Vehicle and manoeuvres8 min
The vehicle and manoeuvres topic in LCM requires knowing the basic controls, stability control, correctly occupying space and manoeuvring at low speed with full safety. The exam tests your ability to check beforehand, observe fully and use the available space prudently.
