The Finland truck & bus theory exam at a glance

The Finnish theory test for truck and bus categories C, CE, D and DE (teoriakoe) is taken on a tablet at an Ajovarma service point, run for Traficom by A-Katsastus. It has three parts in 30 minutes: 20 multiple choice questions, 30 picture questions about traffic situations and 5 risk recognition questions, and you must reach the minimum in each part (14, 26 and 4). Traficom's rules name Finnish, Swedish and English as the test languages; check the language for your category when you book. You need a valid category B licence, and you can take the test one month before the minimum age (21 for C and CE, or 18 with a basic professional qualification; 24 for D and DE). A passed theory test is valid for one year. Drivers in commercial transport also need professional competence (code 95).

Exam rules change, so confirm current details with Traficom: Driving examination.

How It Works

Train by Topic

Five training sets cover drivers' hours and tachographs, loads and passengers, brakes, tyres and the vehicle, heavy vehicles in traffic, and blind spots, winter and incidents. Questions you miss come back until you have mastered them.

Full Mock Tests

Four 50-question tests that together cover all 200 questions, with an 80% target, the share of all questions the real test's minimums add up to. No question repeats across tests, and every answer explains the rule and the common wrong pick.

Built on Traficom's Topics for Heavy Vehicles

Traficom lists the topics of the C, CE, D and DE theory test: driving and rest times, carrying goods or passengers, documents, accidents, tyre changing, masses, dimensions and speed limiters, blind spots, route planning, load safety, vehicle construction, lubrication and antifreeze, brakes, coupling, fault finding and maintenance, plus picture questions on turning, giving way, overtaking, changing lanes, stopping and parking. Tigertest follows those areas with the Finnish Road Traffic Act and the EU rules: 4.5 hours of driving before a break, a truck's own 80 km/h limit, the two right-hand lanes on a three-lane motorway, 5 mm winter tread on driven axles and alcohol interlocks on school transport. The real test's photos and risk recognition videos are not modelled; situations are described in words.

How to Pass the Finnish Truck and Bus Theory Test

1. Learn the driving and rest times by heart

The EU rules are full of numbers that look alike: 4.5 hours, 45 minutes, 9 and 10 hours a day, 56 hours a week, 90 in two weeks, 11 hours of daily rest, 45 hours of weekly rest. Learn which number goes with which rule, and the split break of 15 then 30 minutes and the split rest of 3 then 9 hours.

2. Know the Finnish rules for heavy vehicles

A truck's own maximum is 80 km/h, and a bus may do 100 km/h only when approved for it and with no one standing. On a motorway with three lanes each way, trucks and combinations over 7 metres use only the two right-hand lanes. From November to March, when conditions require, driven axles need 5 mm of winter tread.

3. Think like a heavy vehicle driver

Picture questions are the biggest part of the real test, and you need 26 of 30. Ask who gives way, where your blind areas are, how the rear wheels cut in on a turn and how much room your vehicle needs to stop. Moose, reindeer and black ice are part of Finnish driving.

4. Aim well above the pass mark

Each part has its own minimum, so a weak part fails the whole test. Aim for 45 or more in every mock test, drill the questions you missed, then take all four tests back to back before you book at Ajovarma.

Finland Truck and Bus Theory Test Frequently Asked Questions

What is on the Finnish truck and bus theory test?

For categories C, CE, D and DE the theory test (teoriakoe) is taken on a tablet at an Ajovarma service point and has three parts in 30 minutes: 20 multiple choice questions, 30 picture questions about traffic situations and 5 risk recognition questions. Traficom sets a minimum for each part: 14 of 20, 26 of 30 and 4 of 5. Failing any one part fails the test. Smaller categories (C1, C1E, D1, D1E) have a shorter test of 10, 30 and 5 questions.

Can I take the truck or bus theory test in English?

Traficom's rules name Finnish, Swedish and English as the languages of the theory test, and a candidate whose mother tongue is none of these and who does not know any of them well may be allowed an oral test with 60 minutes. Traficom's pages do not list languages by category, so check that English is available for your category when you book with Ajovarma. Tigertest's practice is in English and uses the Finnish terms you will meet, such as ammattipätevyys and rahtikirja.

What do I need before I can take the test?

Traficom says you need a valid category B licence when you take the truck theory test, and a certificate of instruction from your driving school or vocational institution. You can take the theory test one month before the minimum age: 21 for C and CE (18 with a basic professional qualification as a lorry driver), 24 for D and DE. A passed theory test is valid for one year. Drivers in commercial transport also need professional competence (ammattipätevyys), shown as code 95 on the licence.

How does Tigertest's practice compare with the real test?

Tigertest's four mock tests have 50 multiple choice questions each and an 80% target, the share of all 55 questions the real minimums add up to (44 of 55). The bank follows Traficom's topic list for heavy categories: driving and rest times, documents, loads, passengers, tyres, brakes, coupling, maintenance, blind spots and route planning, plus heavy vehicles in traffic. The real picture and risk recognition parts use photos and video; Tigertest describes the same situations in words.

Are these the real test questions?

No. Every question is original, written by Tigertest from the Finnish Road Traffic Act, the EU rules on driving times and tachographs and Traficom's rules for the theory test, so it tests the same knowledge without copying any official question. Truck and bus topics are in one bank. It is free practice, not affiliated with Traficom, Ajovarma or A-Katsastus, and it does not book or replace your test or the professional competence training.

Finland truck & bus theory sample questions and answers

6 of the 200 practice questions, one from each topic, with the answer explained.

1. Why should you not leave a heavy vehicle on the service brake alone when you step out?
- A.It locks the steering
- B.Air can leak away
- C.It wears the tyres
- D.It drains the battery
Answer: B. The service brake depends on air pressure that can leak away. Always apply the spring parking brake before leaving the cab.
2. A driver is stopped at a roadside check in Oulu. Records for how many days must they be able to show?
- A.Today and the last 28 days
- B.Only the current week
- C.The last 90 days only
- D.Today and the last 56 days
Answer: D. Since 31 December 2024 a driver must be able to produce the driver card and any records or printouts for the current day and the previous 56 days.
3. You drive a milk tanker that has collected from only a few farms. What happens when you brake?
- A.A forward surge
- B.Less weight on the front
- C.Shorter braking distance
- D.No difference at all
Answer: A. Liquid in a part-filled tank surges forward under braking and sideways in bends. Brake early and gently and take bends slowly.
4. Your coach's luggage hold is loaded unevenly with heavy cases on one side. What could follow?
- A.Less fuel used on hills
- B.Nothing important
- C.Poor stability in bends
- D.Better grip on that side
Answer: C. Uneven luggage shifts the centre of gravity and can affect handling and axle loads. Spread heavy items evenly and secure them.
5. A motorway slip road joins from the right. Your truck is in the right lane. What helps traffic merge?
- A.Stop on the motorway
- B.Flash your headlights at them
- C.Move left if it is safe
- D.Speed up to block them
Answer: C. Joining traffic must give way, but moving to the next lane when it is safe, or adjusting speed, helps them join smoothly.
6. Your dashboard shows that the trailer's ABS has failed on a long trip. What should you do?
- A.Drive with care, get it fixed
- B.Ignore it, the truck has ABS
- C.Disconnect the trailer
- D.Drive faster to reach the base
Answer: A. The brakes still work without ABS but wheels may lock in hard braking. Leave more room, brake gently and have the fault fixed soon.
