This lesson transitions hazard perception skills to the high-speed environment of motorways and tunnels. It covers specific risks such as vehicles merging at different speeds, sudden braking and congestion ahead, road debris, and the aerodynamic effects of crosswinds and large trucks. The curriculum also addresses the challenges of riding in tunnels, including changes in light and surface conditions, and the importance of identifying emergency exits and procedures in case of an incident.

This comprehensive course provides the essential knowledge for the Dutch CBR Category A motorcycle theory exam. It delves into Dutch traffic legislation, road sign interpretation, priority rules, and advanced riding techniques specific to high-performance motorcycles. Learners will explore risk psychology, emergency handling, and legal responsibilities, ensuring a thorough preparation for safe and legal riding in the Netherlands.
The Hazard Identification on Highways and Tunnels lesson explains one of the most important subjects in the Safe Following Distance and Hazard Perception unit of the Dutch Motorcycle Theory A curriculum. It focuses on essential exam content that every learner in the Netherlands needs for the Dutch driving theory exam. Through clear explanations, practical examples, and real traffic situations, this lesson helps you understand how the rules work in practice and strengthens your overall exam preparation.
Upon completing this lesson, you will possess a heightened awareness of the specific dangers present on Dutch motorways ('snelwegen') and in tunnels. You'll be equipped to anticipate potential hazards such as vehicles merging at high speeds, sudden traffic slowdowns, debris on the road, and the complex visual cues within tunnels. This enhanced situational awareness is crucial for maintaining control and safety while riding at speed and will directly prepare you for complex hazard perception questions on the CBR Category A theory exam. You will learn to proactively assess risks, manage your following distance effectively in fast-moving traffic, and understand emergency protocols for tunnel environments, leading to more confident and safer riding.


This lesson is ideal for Category A motorcycle learners who have a basic understanding of hazard perception but need to focus on the specific challenges of high-speed highway and tunnel riding. It's particularly useful for those preparing for the Dutch CBR theory exam who find these environments daunting.
