From the key facts

  • Speed depends on the vehicle, load, road, traffic and visibility (SVG art. 32 para. 1).
  • You must be able to stop within the distance you can see, and within half that distance where passing oncoming traffic is difficult (VRV art. 4 para. 1).

All key facts, the questions with explanations and the exam simulation are part of the course.
