1According to the official KAV theory examination table (Row 11), which theory subjects must a candidate take for the Hungary Category CE licence?
A.K (Kozlekedesi alapismeretek) and Szu (Szerkezeti es uzemeltetesi ismeretek)
B.K (Kozlekedesi alapismeretek), Szu (Szerkezeti ismeretek), and M (Munkavedelem)
C.Only K (Kozlekedesi alapismeretek)
D.Only Szu (Szerkezeti es uzemeltetesi ismeretek)
Explanation: Row 11 of the KAV official theory examination data table specifies two examined theory subjects for Category CE: Kozlekedesi alapismeretek (K) and Szerkezeti es uzemeltetesi ismeretek (Szu). The M subject (Munkavedelem, tuzvedelem, szallitas) is exempt because the candidate already certified it when obtaining Category C.
2How many total questions and how much time does KAV allocate for the complete Category CE theory examination across both tested subjects?
A.40 questions in 40 minutes
B.50 questions in 50 minutes (25 questions in 25 minutes per subject)
C.75 questions in 75 minutes (25 questions per subject across 3 subjects)
D.55 questions in 55 minutes in a single combined test
Explanation: The Category CE theoretical exam consists of two 25-question subjects (K and Szu), each timed at 25 minutes. This gives an overall total of 50 computer questions across 50 minutes.
3What is the passing score requirement for the Kozlekedesi alapismeretek (K) subject on the Category CE theory exam?
A.21 out of 25 points
B.26 out of 35 points
C.30 out of 35 points
D.32 out of 35 points
Explanation: For the K subject in Category CE, the 25 questions carry a total possible score of 35 points (due to 3-point questions), and candidates must achieve at least 30 points to pass.
4What is the passing score requirement for the Szerkezeti es uzemeltetesi ismeretek (Szu) subject on the Category CE exam?
A.18 out of 25 points
B.21 out of 25 points
C.23 out of 25 points
D.25 out of 35 points
Explanation: For the Szu subject, the 25 questions carry 1 point each for a total of 25 points. Candidates must score at least 21 points (allowing a maximum of 4 incorrect answers) to pass.
5Under the 2026 KAV fee schedule, what is the total fee for taking the two required Category CE computer theory exam subjects?
A.HUF 12,700 total
B.HUF 25,400 total (HUF 12,700 per subject)
C.HUF 38,100 total (HUF 12,700 across three subjects)
D.HUF 18,500 total
Explanation: KAV charges HUF 12,700 per theory subject. Since Category CE requires two subjects (K and Szu), the total theory exam fee is HUF 25,400.
6What is the maximum authorized mass of a trailer that requires a Category CE licence when coupled to a Category C towing vehicle?
A.Exceeding 500 kg
B.Exceeding 750 kg
C.Exceeding 1,500 kg
D.Exceeding 3,500 kg
Explanation: Under EU and Hungarian driver licensing regulations, a basic Category C licence allows towing a light trailer up to 750 kg. Towing any trailer or semi-trailer exceeding 750 kg maximum authorized mass requires Category CE.

A.70 km/h
B.80 km/h
C.90 km/h

Explanation: Within built-up areas, the general speed limit for all motor vehicles, including heavy truck combinations, is 50 km/h unless posted signs indicate otherwise.

About the Hungary KRESZ CE Exam

The Hungary Category CE licence entitles drivers to operate heavy truck-and-trailer and articulated tractor-semitrailer combinations with a trailer exceeding 750 kg maximum authorized mass. The assessment is administered by the Kozlekedesi Alkalmassagi es Vizsgakozpont (KAV). Under the current Category CE curriculum effective 20 October 2025, candidates must pass two computer theory subjects: Kozlekedesi alapismeretek (K) and Szerkezeti es uzemeltetesi ismeretek (Szu). K has 25 questions, 35 points, a 30-point pass mark, and 25 minutes; Szu has 25 questions, 25 points, a 21-point pass mark, and 25 minutes. The qualification also requires a 35-minute routine examination and a 60-minute on-road driving examination. This question bank is an independent English-language multiple-choice study adaptation covering road rules, pneumatic brakes, coupling, inspections, and combination dynamics.

Hungary KRESZ CE: Suggested Study Strategy

1Prepare for two distinct tests: Treat K (traffic regulations and vehicle dynamics) and Szu (mechanical systems and coupling) as separate examinations, each requiring focused preparation and its own passing score.
2Master vehicle combination dynamics: Thoroughly review off-tracking (nyomeltérés) in tight intersections, tail swing (farlesöprés) on long overhangs, and conditions causing jackknifing (bicskázás) on low-friction surfaces.
3Memorize air brake line functions: Remember that the red line feeds reservoir pressure and triggers emergency spring/relay brakes upon disconnection, while the yellow line carries variable braking command pressure.
4Learn coupling and uncoupling checklists in exact sequence: Review the step-by-step procedures for fifth wheels and drawbars, including wheel chocks, landing legs, pneumatic lines, safety pins, and visual kingpin locking checks.
5Understand specific KRESZ rules for combinations: Focus on combination speed limits (80/70/70/50 km/h), the 06:00-22:00 motorway overtaking ban for vehicles over 7.5 t, and mandatory spacing for combinations over 7 meters.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many theory subjects and questions are on the Hungary Category CE exam?

KAV Row 11 specifies two theory subjects for Category CE: Kozlekedesi alapismeretek (K) and Szerkezeti es uzemeltetesi ismeretek (Szu). Each subject consists of 25 computer-based questions, making 50 questions in total across both tests.

Why is there no M (Munkavedelem) exam for Category CE?

Candidates qualifying for Category CE already hold a Category C driving licence, where the M subject (Munkavedelem, tuzvedelem, szallitas) was already examined and certified. Under KAV rules, Category CE applicants are exempt from taking the M examination again.

What are the passing scores for the Category CE theory tests?

For K, the maximum score is 35 points and candidates must achieve at least 30 points to pass. For Szu, the maximum score is 25 points and candidates must achieve at least 21 points to pass. Across both subjects, a candidate must earn at least 51 out of 60 points.

What is the time limit for the Hungary Category CE theory exam?

Each theory subject has a strict time limit of 25 minutes, allowing approximately one minute per question. The total testing time across both subjects is 50 minutes.

How much does the KAV Category CE theory exam cost?

According to the 2026 KAV fee table, the computer theory examination fee is HUF 12,700 per subject. For the two required Category CE subjects (K and Szu), the total theory exam fee is HUF 25,400.

What are the general KRESZ speed limits for heavy vehicle combinations?

Under Hungarian KRESZ regulations, a heavy goods vehicle towing a trailer (Category CE combination) is restricted to a maximum speed of 80 km/h on motorways, 70 km/h on expressways and rural roads outside built-up areas, and 50 km/h within built-up areas, unless a specific road sign indicates otherwise.

When does the daytime motorway overtaking ban apply to heavy combinations in Hungary?

In Hungary, goods vehicles and vehicle combinations with a maximum authorized mass exceeding 7.5 tonnes are prohibited from overtaking on motorways and dual-carriageway express roads between 06:00 and 22:00, whenever there are only two lanes travelling in the same direction.

What is the Hungarian weekend driving ban (kamionstop) for heavy trucks?

Under Hungarian government decree, heavy goods vehicles and combinations over 7.5 t are restricted from driving on public roads on weekends and public holidays (typically from 22:00 Saturday to 22:00 Sunday, or from 15:00 Saturday in July and August), subject to statutory exemptions for perishable foodstuffs, live animals, postal transit, and emergency response.

How do the dual-line pneumatic brake lines work on a trailer combination?

The red line is the supply/charging line (toltovezetek), maintaining reservoir pressure on the trailer; if disconnected or ruptured, the trailer's emergency relay valve automatically triggers full emergency braking. The yellow line is the control/service line (vezerlovezetek), transmitting pneumatic pilot pressure modulated by the driver's foot brake.

No. This practice bank is an independent English-language educational resource developed by OpenExamPrep to help drivers study the theoretical concepts required for the KAV Category CE examination. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by KAV.
