If while driving we suffer a breakdown of the lighting system of our vehicle and we are forced to drive with lower intensity lights, as in this case the dipped headlights, we will be allowed to drive at night in these conditions provided that we adapt the speed of our vehicle sufficiently to be able to stop the vehicle within the lit area.

The rotating yellow light on special vehicles only signals their situation, but it does not give them special priority over other drivers on the road.

The signalling device V-5 shown in the image indicates that the motor vehicle or set of vehicles which bears it is of a slow type and cannot exceed 40 kilometers per hour on all roads.

The STOP road marking in the image indicates the obligation for all drivers to stop their vehicles before the nearest stopping line, or, if there is no line, immediately before the intersection, and yield to all vehicles driving on the intersecting road. If there is not sufficient visibility from the place where you have stopped, you should stop again in a place where you have visibility, always without endangering other road users.

When we make a change of direction, the center of the intersection should normally remain on our left, unless it is an intersection where there is different signalling or it is designed to travel in a certain way.

Any vehicle placed in a lane reserved for turn right, must turn if the green arrow of the traffic light switches on. But if he wants to go straight and the traffic light is red he needs to stop.

In this situation, it’s necessary to bear in mind that if a car behind us wants to turn right, and we stop to go straight, we could disrupt him so we’ll need to turn right.

Be careful, this is a tricky question.

Traffic regulations state that on urban roads and cross-town roads where there are no signs indicating a different speed, as a general rule, the maximum speed at which vehicles may drive is 50 kilometers per hour. This obligation applies to all types of vehicles driving on this road within town limits.

The vertical sign of the image indicates that the general rule of priority is applied in this road, and the vehicles coming from the right will have right of way.

The vehicle’s tire pressure should always be measured with a pressure gauge, which can be pocket-size or found at a workshop or service station. It is recommended to check tire pressure frequently, before starting a long trip, and always when the tires are cold.

Traffic regulations define a vehicle as any device or artifact that is fit for travel on public roads. This includes non-motor vehicles such as bicycles and wheelchairs, and motor vehicles such as motorcycles and passenger cars.

To drive safely around a curve with reduced visibility, such as the one in the image, you should always adapt and reduce your speed before entering the curve, always preparing for the possibility of encountering some obstacle in the road, and always driving in a way that you leave the lane in the opposite direction completely free.

The use of the HOV (high-occupancy vehicles) lane is restricted to motorcycles, passenger cars and mixed adaptable vehicles. It is prohibited to mopeds, animal-drawn vehicles, cars with trailers, and animals. For this reason, in this case, because the car has a trailer, it cannot use this lane.

Drivers of passenger cars, buses, automobiles designed for the transport of goods, mixed vehicles, non-agricultural conjoined vehicles, as well as the drivers and auxiliary personnel of protection and escort vehicles are required to have one approved high-visibility reflective vest handy in the vehicle.

Both the seat belt and the airbag are elements of the vehicle’s passive safety system, which are those elements that help to minimize injury to the driver and passengers in case of an accident. This group also includes the chassis and motorcycle helmets.

Whenever you are driving in fog or another meteorological condition that impedes visibility of the road, you should increase the safety distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you so that you have more space to react in case they brake suddenly. You should also reduce you speed, because the braking distance will be greater.

It is totally forbidden to ingest amphetamines before taking control of a vehicle, as these produce a sense of euphoria in the driver, delaying the onset of sleep, diminishing the sensation of fatigue and producing a false sense of control and security when driving. It can also cause the driver to behave violently and in a way that is incomprehensible to the rest of the drivers, which is why we cannot consume them even if they are part of a medical treatment.

Pedestrians traveling on the roadway or shoulder of a road outside of town limits between sunset and sunrise, or in weather or environmental conditions that significantly reduce visibility, are required to wear a reflective vest or other approved light or reflective device or garment that can be seen from a distance of at least 150 meters by approaching drivers. It is not necessary to wear a vest when traveling on roads within town limits.

The vertical indication sign S-5 shown in the image indicates the beginning and occasionally the name of a tunnel, underpass or a section of road comparable to a tunnel. This sign may also state the total length of the tunnel in meters on the bottom of the sign.

When the vehicle involuntarily leaves the lane in which it is traveling: Correct
The Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system is designed to enhance safety by warning drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane. This typically happens when the driver is distracted, drowsy, or not paying full attention. The system uses cameras or sensors to monitor the vehicle’s position within the lane and provides alerts (such as vibrations or audio signals) if the vehicle crosses lane markings without signaling.
In a lateral displacement indicated by the blinker: While this option seems related, it is too vague and does not capture the specific function of the Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system. The phrase “involuntary change of direction” does not specify the context of a lane departure, making it unclear.
In an involuntary change of direction: While this option seems close, it is not specific enough. LDW specifically monitors lane departures rather than general directional changes. A change in direction can occur without leaving the lane, which the system does not monitor or warn against.

Traffic regulations state that it is prohibited to make a U-turn on all sections of road where overtaking is prohibited, unless the U-turn is expressly authorized. So, on curves and hills with reduced visibility, and, in general, in any place or situation where there is not sufficient visibility, overtaking is prohibited and therefore U-turns are also prohibited.

Article 117 of traffic regulations states that underage children whose height is less than or equal too 1.35 meters must always use an approved child restraint system that is adapted to their size and weight. If they are between 1.35 and 1.50 meters tall, they may use a restraint device or the vehicle’s regular seat belt.

The purpose of the flashing yellow lights in the image as a road barrier device is to prohibit the passage of any type of vehicle through the imaginary line that connects them. This means that, wherever you see these yellow lights, entry is prohibited the entire length along which they extend.

The hand brake, as a general rule, is only used to immobilize the vehicle once we have stopped. In very extreme cases, for example, a total failure of the foot brake if we can use it, if necessary, as an emergency brake.

Preventive maintenance consists of carrying out minor care and maintenance work on our vehicle on a regular basis without having to wait for it to break down before going to the repair shop. This preventive maintenance of the car is carried out to guarantee both the correct functioning of the car and to prevent traffic accidents caused by mechanical failures.

Adjusting or checking the GPS, radio, air conditioning, or heating can distract the driver by momentarily diverting their attention from the road, even for a few seconds. For this reason, road safety regulations classify handling the GPS while driving—whether by pressing buttons or touching the screen—as a serious violation. This offense carries a penalty ranging from 90 to 300 euros and results in a deduction of 3 points from the driver’s license.

With the “Lane Departure Warning System” that will act in advance: Correct
The Advanced Lane Keeping System (LKA) is designed to assist drivers in maintaining their vehicle’s position within the lane. It actively intervenes to correct the steering when it detects that the vehicle is drifting out of its lane without the use of turn signals. The Lane Departure Warning System (LDW) complements LKA by providing alerts to the driver when the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane.
With the “Advanced Driver Distraction Warning System” that will act later: This system monitors the driver’s attention levels but does not directly relate to lane-keeping.
With the “Fatigue or Drowsiness Detection System” that will act previously: The fatigue detection system identifies signs of tiredness or drowsiness in the driver. However, it does not specifically assist in lane-keeping or provide warnings for lane departures.

A continuous longitudinal line next to a dashed line on a road indicates that drivers should only obey the line situated on the side where they are driving. Sometimes, these road markings separate different directions of travel.

The motorcycle driver riding in heavy rain should moderate his speed, stopping if necessary to give him more time to react to an obstacle. He should also brake gently to prevent the motorcycle wheels from locking and be especially careful with road markings painted on the road, as they become slippery in the rain and our wheels may skid.

The vertical entry prohibited sign R-104 shown in the image prohibits entry to the road where it is located to all motorcycles, without specifying a certain type. Therefore, no motorcycles may enter this road.

There is a series of factors that influence a driver’s blood alcohol level, increasing or decreasing it. One of them is age, because people under age 18 and over age 65 are more vulnerable to the effects of alcohol, with more serious side effects after consuming it.
