Animation questions in the renewed CBR theory test

As of 7 April 2025, the CBR theory test has been updated. Where there used to be a separate hazard perception section with still photos, this has now been integrated into the exam through animation questions. These new question types test not only your knowledge but also your insight and your ability to anticipate traffic situations.

1. What are animation questions?

You watch short animations without sound, simulating realistic traffic situations.
During the animation, you are asked what the correct action or assessment would be.
It is no longer just about factual knowledge, but about the application of traffic insight.

2. Why this change?

The old hazard perception with still photos was too limited. With animations, the CBR now tests whether you can:

recognise hazards in time,
anticipate upcoming situations,
and make safe decisions.

This makes the exam more realistic and closer to real-life traffic.

3. How to practise with Theoriebank.nl

With Theoriebank.nl, you can prepare effectively for this new question format:

Practise with realistic animations similar to those in the official test.
Instant feedback so you understand why an answer is correct or incorrect.
Topic-based exercises focusing on traffic insight and hazard awareness.
Available in Dutch and English, both online and in the app.

4. Tips to master animation questions

Pay attention not only to the main situation but also to the context (speed, distance, weather).
Train yourself to make quick decisions under time pressure.
Practise regularly in short sessions so your reactions become faster and more natural.
Link animations to real-life driving by thinking along during car journeys.

5. Conclusion

The renewed theory test no longer has a separate hazard perception part but integrates this skill through animation questions. With Theoriebank.nl, you can practise these questions intensively and prepare yourself thoroughly for the new exam.
