Exam 84

Vertical sign R-308D that you can see in the image, forbids to parking on the side of the road on which the sign is located, from 9 hours on the 16th to 9 hours on the 1st.
Unless otherwise indicated, the prohibition begins at the vertical of the sign and ends at the nearest intersection. It does not prohibit stopping.

The vertical hazard warning sign P-16a of dangerous downhill slope warns us that we are approaching a section of road with a steep downhill slope that poses a driving hazard. The number on the sign indicates the slope in percent.

When for some reason we have to make an emergency braking, a sudden reduction of the speed, or simply to warn that we intend to slow down our vehicle, we must step on the brake several times to warn the person behind us, by using the brake lights, that we are going to slow down our vehicle.

A long and continuous blast of the whistle from a police officer regulating the traffic, means that he is ordering to the vehicles to continue traveling. If, instead, the blast is intermittent, that means that all vehicles must stop.

Studies have shown that, with the same alcohol consumption, elderly people are more reckless behind the wheel due to the combined effect of alcohol and aging, as they are more vulnerable to the side effects caused by alcohol consumption. So far, no specific limits for alcohol consumption have been established for people over age 65, but it has been demonstrated that this limit should be lower than the limit recommended for younger people.

When there is excessive speed, the proportion of fatal accidents is 60% higher than when there is no excessive speed.
The probability of being killed or suffering serious permanent injuries is much higher in an accident with excessive speed than in one with a more moderate speed.

A load that protrudes from a vehicle does not need to be signalled on the front during the day, but it does at night or under conditions of low visibility. In this case, you should place a white light and a white reflective panel on the overhanging part. The overhanging load should be signalled with a red light and a red reflective device on the back.

If we lose control of our motorcycle when riding it and it ends up falling, the rider should let go of the machine and slide down the pavement as gently as possible until he comes to a stop, trying to relax. As soon as he can, he will clear the roadway to avoid further injury.

Elderly people, due to their old age, may find that some physical and mental capacities necessary for driving are diminished, such as vision, hearing or reaction capacity when faced with a potential obstacle.

The braking system of a vehicle will be more effective when driving on a road with dry, clean and smooth pavement.
If the road surface is very wet due to heavy rain, the adherence of the tires to the road surface will be less, causing the tires to slip.

The braking system will also be less effective as they may stop working, increasing the stopping distance and thus increasing the risk of an accident.

Drowsiness causes the driver of a vehicle to have an increased reaction time when faced with an unexpected incident, making it take longer to make decisions and making more mistakes due to lack of concentration on driving. For this reason, if you feel sleepy, you should make a stop in a permitted location and rest.

If a driver drinks alcohol on an empty stomach, their intoxication rate will increase and their blood alcohol levels will be higher than in people who eat food before consuming alcohol. A stomach is considered empty when 2 to 4 hours have passed since the last food.

The vast majority of traffic accidents can be avoided if you pay attention to traffic, don’t engage in dangerous behavior, maintain the vehicle correctly, avoid risk factors at the wheel and avoid making unpredictable and imprudent actions that could result in a traffic accident.

The faster you are driving your vehicle, the worse you will perceive traffic signs, traffic lights and other vehicles. In addition, it will be more difficult to see and analyse what is happened around you.

Article 59 of traffic regulations states that a vehicle, even when it has right of way, must not enter an intersection or penetrate a pedestrian crossing or cycle lane if the traffic situation is such that it may predictably get stuck there and obstruct the passing of pedestrians and cross traffic.

If we approach a cyclist while driving our vehicle on a public road, we should follow a series of tips to avoid a possible collision:

1. First of all we will avoid accelerating or passing too close to cyclists, always maintaining the minimum safety distance established.

2. We should also avoid making acoustic signals with the horn near them to avoid scaring them and unbalancing them, and we should moderate our speed.

One of the main causes of death among victims of motorcycle and moped accidents are head injuries and impacts to the head when they were not wearing a helmet. Statistics show that 85% of those injured in a traffic accident who were not wearing a helmet ended up suffering fatal injuries.

Article 91 of the General Traffic Regulations establishes that one of the cases in which a parked vehicle will seriously obstruct traffic on the road is when it is double-parked and the driver drives away from the vehicle leaving it empty.

Temporary directional panels, commonly used in areas where road works or improvements are being carried out, are barrier devices since they prohibit passage in the area they delimit and indicate the direction of traffic.
In this case, the panels shown in the image indicate that we must move out of the right lane as traffic in the left lane is prohibited.

The purpose of the seat belt is to retain and protect the body in the event of a crash or rollover, preventing violent movements and impacts inside the vehicle or its projection to the outside.

In addition, its use in the rear seats prevents the occupants from causing serious injuries to those traveling in front of them in the event of an accident due it halves the chances of being fatal.

Its effectiveness has been fully demonstrated in all vehicle seats. In general, their proper use almost halves the probability of being killed in the event of an accident.

It shall be strictly forbidden for a vehicle to stop or park in a lane reserved for bicycles, even if no bicycles are circulating within it, because it would be an obstacle to the free circulation of such bicycles.

From the perspective of Road Safety, the chassis and body of the vehicle have two functions: firstly, to absorb as much energy as possible during an accident, since anything that isn’t absorbed by the vehicle will be transferred to the occupants, causing serious injuries as a result.

The Road Traffic Regulations define as motorcycles those two or three-wheeled cars with an engine of a cylinder capacity greater than 50cm³, if it is an internal combustion engine, and/or with a maximum construction speed greater than 45km/hour. Some of them may also have a sidecar.

روڈ ٹریفک کے قوانین کے مطابق، موٹر سائیکلیں دو یا تین ٹائروں والی گاڑیاں ہیں جن کا انجن 50 کیوبک سینٹی میٹر سے زیادہ سلنڈر کی گنجائش رکھتا ہے، اگر یہ ایسا انجن ہو جو پاور پیدا کرنے کے لیے پٹرول کو انجن کے اندر ہی جلاتا ہو، اور/یا جن کی زیادہ سے زیادہ رفتار 45 کلومیٹر فی گھنٹہ سے زیادہ ہو۔ ان میں سے کچھ میں سائیڈ کار بھی ہو سکتی ہے۔

In order to be able to anticipate dangers and have time to react to them, it is important to look far ahead, depending on the speed at which you are driving, to the sides and through the rear-view mirrors, turning your head slightly when necessary to check for blind spots around the vehicle that cannot be seen in the rear-view mirrors.

On interurban one-way roads we must park our vehicle as close as possible to the right side of the road.
On the other hand, if the one-way road is on an urban road, we will park indistinctly on the left or right side.

A motorcycle driver who wants to turn left should first make sure they can make the turn safely and that traffic on the road permits it. Once they have checked this and before starting the manoeuvre, they should signal their intention using the left turn signal light or, failing that, with the arm extended out horizontally with the palm facing down.

ایک موٹرسائیکل ڈرائیور جو بائیں طرف مڑنا چاہتا ہے، پہلے یہ یقینی بنائے کہ وہ محفوظ طریقے سے مڑ سکتا ہے اور سڑک پر ٹریفک اس کی اجازت دیتی ہے۔ یہ سب چیک کرنے کے بعد، مڑنے سے پہلے بائیں ٹرن سگنل لائٹ کا استعمال کریں یا اگر لائٹ کام نہیں کر رہی تو ہاتھ کو سیدھا باہر کی طرف نکال کر، ہتھیلی نیچے کی طرف رکھ کر اشارہ کریں۔

Most victims of traffic accidents, especially fatalities, are from accidents on interurban roads, especially on straight sections of road (even more than on curves) and at speeds between 50 and 80 kilometers per hour.

Whenever you are involved in a traffic accident that results in severe injuries, you are required to remain at the scene of the accident until traffic officers arrive or return to the scene if you have left to notify the authorities or emergency medical personnel, or because of some other unavoidable circumstance.

Generally, the setup of controls on a motorcycle allows you to engage the clutch with the left hand, the rear brake with the right foot, and the accelerator with the right hand. The gear shift is on the left pedal and the front brake is activated with the right hand.

عام طور پر، موٹر سائیکل پر کنٹرولز کا سیٹ اپ اس طرح ہوتا ہے کہ آپ بائیں ہاتھ سے کلچ، دائیں پاؤں سے پیچھے کی بریک، اور دائیں ہاتھ سے ایکسیلیریٹر کو استعمال کرتے ہیں۔ گیئر شفٹ بائیں پیڈل پر ہوتا ہے اور سامنے کی بریک دائیں ہاتھ سے لگائی جاتی ہے۔

Only vehicles with MMA of 3500 kg or more are obligated to carry a fire extinguisher among its accessories, regardless of the kind of service that he is doing.
