About the BiH Theory C Exam

The Bosnia and Herzegovina Category C Driving Theory Test is the mandatory theoretical examination required to obtain a commercial heavy goods vehicle driving licence (Category C/C1) in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Regulated nationally by the Ministry of Communications and Transport (Ministarstvo komunikacija i prometa BiH) under the Law on Basics of Road Traffic Safety in BiH (ZOBS BiH) and the Rulebook on the Organization of Driver Examinations (Službeni glasnik BiH 46/12), the test is administered locally by cantonal and entity educational ministries. The official exam comprises 50 questions worth 140 points (30 theory questions at 2 points each, 10 road sign questions at 3 points each, and 10 intersection questions at 5 points each), requiring at least 126 points (90%) to pass within 60 minutes. Official exams are conducted in Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian; this practice bank provides an English-language MCQ study adaptation.

Assessment

The statutory theoretical examination under Službeni glasnik BiH 46/12 contains 50 items across 3 areas: Oblast I (30 theory questions including heavy vehicle systems and regulations, 60 points), Oblast II (10 road signs, 30 points), and Oblast III (10 intersections, 50 points). Minimum passing score is 126 points (90%). This practice bank is an English-language study adaptation.

BiH Theory C Study Tips from Top Performers

1Focus heavily on the air brake system: Know how the compressor, pressure regulator (cut-out at 8 bar), air tanks, spring brake cylinders (parking/emergency brake), and low-pressure buzzer (activating below 4.5–5.0 bar) function.
2Memorize the AETR driving time rules: 4.5 hours driving -> 45 min break; 9 hours daily driving (10h max 2x/week); 56 hours weekly maximum; 90 hours bi-weekly maximum.
3Understand cargo securing physics: Restraint systems must withstand 0.8g (80% of cargo weight) in the forward direction, 0.5g (50%) sideways, and 0.5g (50%) rearwards.
4Remember the commercial speed caps in BiH: 50 km/h in settlements for all vehicles; outside settlements, 80 km/h for trucks between 3.5 and 7.5 tonnes, and 70 km/h for trucks over 7.5 tonnes and trucks towing trailers (these caps apply even on motorways).
5Master intersection priority rules (Oblast III) as they are worth 5 points each (50 points total), making precision essential.
