On April 7, 2025, the CBR implemented major changes to the car theory exam. Instead of the old model, where questions were always divided into three fixed categories (hazard perception, traffic rules, and traffic insight), the CBR opted for a new approach. This means being well-prepared is more important than ever.
What exactly has changed?
The CBR switched to a new structure and questioning style. The most significant changes include:
-
No more fixed division into hazard perception, traffic rules, and traffic insight; it is now one integrated section.
-
New video question types and scenarios that more closely resemble real-life traffic situations.
-
Increased focus on traffic insight: Not just what you should do, but why you are doing it.
-
Personalized and varied exams: You will no longer get the exact same questions as someone else.
This change is intended to better test practical knowledge and further increase road safety. However, it also means that those who prepare using old study materials will likely face unpleasant surprises.
