Austria Theory B: Suggested Study Strategy

1Memorize the official logistics first: computer test at the driving school, Grundwissen plus class B modules, 30 minutes per module, 80% pass mark, EUR 11 first attempt for one class and 18-month theory validity.
2Study signs and priority as scenarios. A stop sign, give-way sign, traffic light, Schutzweg, cyclist crossing, tram, child or emergency vehicle can change the answer.
3Learn default class B speed limits together: 50 km/h in built-up areas, 100 km/h on Freiland roads, 100 km/h on Autostrassen and 130 km/h on Autobahnen unless signs or conditions require less.
4Treat trailer questions as mass-limit questions. Check the vehicle mass, trailer mass, combination mass, Code 96 and BE boundaries before choosing an answer.
5Review motorway and tunnel behaviour as a block: safe entry, missed exits, following distance, Rettungsgasse, hard-shoulder limits, tunnel lights, breakdowns and fire response.
6Handle vulnerable-road-user questions conservatively. Slow early for children, pedestrians near crossings, cyclists, people with impairments, bus and tram passengers, blind spots and turning conflicts.
7Connect vehicle equipment with real duties: warning triangle, reflective vest, first-aid kit, winter tyres or chains in winter conditions, seat belts, child restraints, lights, tyres, brakes and secured loads.
