D.Group C only; BE must be held first

A.You must not overtake other motor vehicles
B.Only in the left lane
C.You may overtake only vehicles that travel below 60 km/h

A.The distance the truck covers in two seconds
B.The distance covered in three seconds
C.A fixed 50 m
D.One second of distance for every 10 km/h of speed
Explanation: Section 35(5) of Act No. 8/2009 requires at least the distance covered in three seconds for M3, N2 and N3 vehicles and two seconds for others. Vehicles using a platooning control system are exempt.
7Your loaded truck crawls up a long hill with faster cars behind. What does Slovak law require?
A.Switch on the hazard lights and continue at your own speed
B.Drive in the middle of the lane to discourage risky overtaking
C.Speed up above the limit to keep traffic flowing smoothly
D.Let faster vehicles pass, pulling into the nearest parking area if needed
Explanation: Section 5(5) of Act No. 8/2009 obliges the driver of a vehicle over 3,500 kg driving uphill to let faster vehicles behind pass. If the situation requires, the driver must stop at the nearest parking area until they have passed.

D.No age or number limits apply if the load space has high sides
Explanation: Section 48(2) of Act No. 8/2009 allows only a driver over 21 with at least two years' practice driving trucks, limits the number to 30 and bans carrying persons in the truck's trailer. Section 48(1) also limits who may be carried, for example armed forces or civil-protection personnel.

A.Nobody; each person is responsible only for themselves
B.A person chosen by the operator or the driver
C.A police escort vehicle

Explanation: Section 48(3) of Act No. 8/2009 says persons in a truck's load space must not stand, lean out, let objects stick out or otherwise endanger traffic. A person chosen from among them by the vehicle operator or the driver must see that these rules are kept.
10On 10 January a dry, clear road is expected along your whole route. What tyre rule applies to your category N3 truck?
A.None, as the road is dry

About the Slovakia Theory Test C Exam

Group C covers vehicles over 3,500 kg built to carry no more than 8 passengers besides the driver, with a trailer up to 750 kg. It can be granted only to a group B holder, normally from age 21 (from 18 after the basic qualification course). Applicants take an electronic theory test before the driving test: 40 random questions in 30 minutes, three answer choices each, and a pass mark of 90 out of 100 points (Decree 9/2009 § 18). For group C the test includes a cargo-safety question and a working-time question. The test is offered in Slovak, English and Hungarian. This independent OpenExamPrep bank has 80 original English four-option questions, two for each official question slot, written from Act 8/2009, Decree 30/2020, Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 and the MV SR pool. It is a study aid, not the official question pool or an exam simulation.

Exam sponsor: Policajný zbor (Police Force of the Slovak Republic) through its traffic inspectorates, with exam commissioners; questions are prepared by the Ministry of Interior (MV SR). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

The proficiency exam for group C starts with an electronic theory test and continues with a driving test (closed area, then road traffic). Under Decree 9/2009 § 18 the theory test has 40 random questions from the MV SR pool with the same ten areas as other groups; for groups C1, C1E, C and CE one safe-driving question is replaced by a cargo-safety question and one documents question by a working-time question, and the construction questions cover heavy-vehicle systems. The test is available in Slovak, English and Hungarian. Official questions have three answer choices; this independent bank uses four-option questions.
