1Under Czech Act No. 361/2000 Sb., what is the general maximum permitted speed for a standard bus outside built-up areas on regular roads (not motorways)?
A.70 km/h
B.80 km/h
C.90 km/h
D.100 km/h
Explanation: Section 18(3) of Act No. 361/2000 Sb. groups buses with vehicles up to 3,500 kg and rescue-service vehicles, allowing at most 90 km/h outside a built-up area. Goods vehicles over 3,500 kg are held to 80 km/h. The driver must still adapt speed to the road, the load and the safety of standing passengers, and must never exceed the design speed recorded for the vehicle.
2What is the general maximum speed limit for a bus inside a built-up area (v obci) in the Czech Republic unless traffic signs indicate otherwise?
A.40 km/h
B.50 km/h
C.60 km/h
D.70 km/h
Explanation: Under Section 18(4) of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., the general maximum speed limit in built-up areas is 50 km/h for all motor vehicles, including buses. Higher limits up to 80 km/h may only be established on selected multi-lane urban arterials by appropriate road signs. Drivers must maintain smooth progress to avoid throwing standing passengers off balance.
3Section 18(3) of Act No. 361/2000 Sb. caps a bus at 90 km/h outside built-up areas. What are the matching statutory ceilings on a road for motor vehicles and on a motorway?
A.80 km/h on both
B.90 km/h and 100 km/h
C.110 km/h and 130 km/h
D.110 km/h and 150 km/h
Explanation: Section 18(3) puts buses in the same speed class as vehicles up to 3,500 kg and vehicles of the integrated rescue system: at most 90 km/h outside a built-up area, 110 km/h on a road for motor vehicles and 130 km/h on a motorway. Two other rules bite first in practice. Section 18(5) forbids exceeding the vehicle's design speed, and buses of categories M2 and M3 must carry an EU speed limiter, so the figure recorded in the registration certificate (commonly 100 km/h) is the real ceiling.
4A coach registration certificate records a maximum speed of 100 km/h. What speed may the driver actually use on a Czech motorway outside a built-up area?
A.130 km/h, because the statutory ceiling in Section 18(3) overrides the registration entry
B.At most 100 km/h, because Section 18(5) forbids exceeding the vehicle's design speed even where the statutory limit is higher
C.Any speed, because motorways carry no upper limit for coaches
D.80 km/h, because the registration entry is only advisory
Explanation: Two limits apply at the same time and the lower one governs. Section 18(3) sets the statutory motorway ceiling for a bus at 130 km/h, but Section 18(5) forbids a driver to exceed the design speed of the vehicle, and for a combination the design speed of any vehicle in it. Buses of categories M2 and M3 also have to carry an EU speed limiter. A coach registered for 100 km/h therefore may not exceed 100 km/h.
5In a built-up area (v obci), what legal duty do drivers of other vehicles have when an urban public transport bus signals its intention to pull out from a marked bus stop bay?
A.They must sound their horn and accelerate past before the bus starts moving
B.They must enable the bus to pull out into the traffic lane, slowing down or stopping if necessary
C.They have absolute priority and may ignore the bus signal
D.They must change to the opposite oncoming lane immediately
Explanation: Section 25(6) of Act No. 361/2000 Sb. states that inside built-up areas, drivers of other vehicles must enable drivers of public transport buses or trolleybuses to pull out from marked stops or bus bays into the running lane. Other drivers must slow down and, if necessary, bring their vehicles to a complete stop. However, the bus driver must not endanger approaching drivers and must give timely turn signals.
6At a bus stop without a boarding island that carries only the stop marker (označník IJ 4a) and no 'Zastávka autobusu' sign or road marking, over what stretch is stopping and standing prohibited for other vehicles?
A.10 metres before and 10 metres after the marker
B.15 metres before and 15 metres after the marker
C.Less than 30 metres before the marker and 5 metres after it
D.50 metres before and 10 metres after the marker
Explanation: Section 27(1)(f) of Act No. 361/2000 Sb. bans stopping and standing at a tram, bus or trolleybus stop without a boarding island. Where the 'Zastávka autobusu' sign is posted, the banned stretch runs from that sign to 5 metres past the stop marker; where no such sign exists, the ban covers less than 30 metres before the marker and 5 metres after it. The generous approach space lets a long bus align cleanly with the kerb. The ban does not apply to the vehicles the stop serves.
7When a school bus displaying sign O 4 ('Označení autobusu přepravujícího děti') stops at a marked bus stop and activates its hazard warning flashers, what must drivers traveling in the same direction do?
A.Overtake the bus at a speed not exceeding 30 km/h while honking
B.Stop their vehicles behind the bus and wait until it ceases signaling and departs
C.Switch on their own hazard lights and pass immediately on the left
D.Sound an acoustic warning and pass on the right shoulder
Explanation: Section 15(2) of Act No. 361/2000 Sb. requires the driver of another vehicle behind a bus carrying the O 4 marking that has stopped at a marked stop to stop the vehicle, and permits continuing only after the bus has left the stop. Drivers coming the other way must allow for children running into the road and adjust their driving so the children are not endangered.
8What is the maximum permitted driving speed across a railway level crossing and within 50 metres before it when the white flashing light is NOT illuminated?
A.20 km/h
B.30 km/h
C.40 km/h
D.50 km/h
Explanation: Section 28(3) of Act No. 361/2000 Sb. prescribes that within 50 metres before a railway level crossing and while traversing it, the driver may travel at most 30 km/h if the intermittent white light of the crossing safety device is not lit. The driver must take particular care, check that no rail vehicle is approaching, and must not needlessly prolong the time spent on the crossing.
9When approaching a railway level crossing in the Czech Republic where the white flashing light (kmitavé bílé světlo) is active, what is the maximum permitted speed for a bus within 50 metres before the crossing?
A.30 km/h
B.40 km/h
C.50 km/h
D.70 km/h
Explanation: Under the second sentence of Section 28(3) of Act No. 361/2000 Sb., when the intermittent white light of the crossing safety device is lit, the driver may travel at up to 50 km/h from 50 metres before the crossing and while crossing it. The white light confirms the installation is working and no train has occupied the approach circuit. The driver must still ensure the whole combination can clear the crossing without stopping on it.
10Does the obligation of other drivers to enable a bus to pull out from a marked bus stop apply OUTSIDE built-up areas (mimo obec)?
A.Yes, the obligation applies identically on all roads throughout the Czech Republic
B.No, outside built-up areas the bus driver must yield right of way to vehicles traveling on the roadway
C.Yes, but only if the bus is carrying more than 50 seated passengers
D.No, but other drivers must honk twice to acknowledge the bus
Explanation: Section 25(6) of Act No. 361/2000 Sb. restricts the obligation of other drivers to yield to departing buses strictly to built-up areas ('v obci'). Outside built-up areas, traffic travels at higher speeds (up to 90 km/h), making sudden braking hazardous. Therefore, outside built-up areas, the bus driver pulling out from a stop or bay is entering the carriageway and must yield right of way (dát přednost v jízdě) to all traffic moving on the road.

Czech Theory Test D Study Tips from Top Performers

1Understand the statutory duty of other drivers to enable public transport buses to pull out from marked stops in built-up areas, and the bus driver's duty not to endanger other traffic.
2Memorize bus dimensions, turning radiuses, and rear overhang swing (vybočení zádi) during sharp turns and when pulling away from curbs.
3Review the dedicated bus lane regulations (sign IP 20a/b) and which other road users (e.g. licensed taxis, cyclists if indicated by additional panel) may share them.
4Master the mandatory equipment under Decree No. 153/2023 Sb.: emergency window hammers, a fire extinguisher rated at least 21 A or 113 B up to 22 passenger places and 43 A or 183 B above that, a size II first aid kit for 9 to 80 passengers or size III above 80, wheel chocks, and a warning triangle.
5Pay attention to railway crossing rules: buses carrying passengers must exercise maximum vigilance and cannot cross when the red warning signal is active.
6Review passenger transport regulations: prohibition of carrying passengers exceeding rated capacity and rules on standing passengers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many questions are on the Czech Category D theory test?

The official theory test consists of 25 randomly selected questions, each with a single correct answer, scored out of a maximum of 50 points.

What is the passing score for the Category D theory exam?

A candidate must achieve at least 43 points out of 50 to pass the theoretical test.

What vehicles can I drive with a Category D driving licence in Czechia?

Category D authorizes driving motor vehicles designed and constructed for the carriage of more than 8 passengers in addition to the driver. A trailer up to 750 kg may be attached.

What is the minimum age for a Czech Category D licence?

The standard minimum age is 24 years. It is reduced to 21 or 23 years for holders of a professional competence certificate (Driver CPC) under statutory conditions of Act No. 247/2000 Sb.

What speed limits apply to buses in the Czech Republic?

Section 18 of Act No. 361/2000 Sb. places buses in the same class as vehicles up to 3,500 kg: 50 km/h in a built-up area, 90 km/h outside one, 110 km/h on a road for motor vehicles and 130 km/h on a motorway, but only 80 km/h on a motorway section running through a built-up area. Two further rules bite first in practice: a driver may never exceed the vehicle's design speed, and buses of categories M2 and M3 carry an EU speed limiter, so the figure in the registration certificate (commonly 100 km/h) is the real ceiling.

How much does the Czech Category D exam cost?

The municipal administrative fee for the driving-competence examination is CZK 700, and a repeat of the theory test costs CZK 100. Driving-school tuition and any Driver CPC training are charged separately.

Is this practice bank an official translation?

No. The official examination is sat in Czech on the Ministry of Transport eTesty platform, using the approved question set published in the Věstník dopravy, where items carry different point values and a varying number of answer options; Category D candidates additionally face an oral examination on vehicle operation and maintenance and a practical driving test, neither of which any MCQ can simulate. This bank is an original English-language, four-option MCQ study adaptation built from the same learning objectives and from Act No. 361/2000 Sb. It is not an official translation.
