The vertical prohibited entry sign R-101 shown in the image indicates that, where the sign is located on the road, entry is forbidden to all types of vehicles in that direction.

The interior lighting is designed to light the vehicle’s cabin in a way that does not cause glare or bother other road users. The light should be white, and it is not recommended to use it when driving at night because the contrast of the light inside the vehicle and the darkness outside can distort your vision and be very dangerous for driving.

The maximum speed on dual carriageways and motorways for passenger cars towing a light trailer (less than 750 kg), is 90 kilometers per hour no matter what the maximum authorized mass is.
With the new regulations also if the pulled trailer has a MAM greater than 750 kg the maximum allowed speed will be the same (90 km/hour).

It is common for visual abilities to decline in individuals over the age of 65, with a potential reduction of up to 25% in older adults.

This deterioration can lead to several negative effects, including difficulty in accurately distinguishing the colors of traffic lights, particularly when the road is very wide.

In vehicles dedicated to the transport of goods with a length of more than 5 meters, the beams or indivisible posts (one-piece) may overhang a maximum of 2 meters at the front and 3 meters at the rear.

The use of a VAO (high occupancy vehicle) lane is limited to motorcycles, passenger cars and adaptable mixed vehicles. Mopeds, animal-drawn vehicles, passenger cars with trailers and animals are excluded from using this lane.
Therefore, in this case, when circulating with a trailer, it will not be able to use this lane.

When at a narrowing of a road under construction with no signs indicating right of way, the vehicle with preference will be the one that entered the narrowing first. When there are doubts as to who entered first, the vehicle with greater difficulty reversing will have preference.

The airbag will always function as a passive safety system complementary to the seat belt, so it must always be fastened and it will improve the effectiveness of the airbag, and must always be used together.

Traffic regulations state that all drivers must wear their seat belt except when they are performing a reverse or parking manoeuvre, since the use of the seat belt can be an obstacle in correctly performing them. On interurban roads, seat belts are always obligatory for all occupants of any type of vehicle.

The number of persons carried in a car may under no circumstances exceed the number of authorised seats in the car, even if there is good reason to do so. Therefore, if this vehicle has a capacity for five passengers including the driver, under no circumstances may six persons be transported even if the MMA is not exceeded.

If the car traveling behind us is not keeping the safety distance, you should increase the distance with the vehicle at the front of us whenever possible, signalling all the manoeuvres always braking softly and with anticipation.

Reading a newspaper, consulting a map or performing any other similar action, even if we’re travelling slowly, will be a great danger for the driver and the rest of the road users, since by looking away from the steering wheel, even for a few seconds, the driver is not attentive to the traffic and can lead to a traffic accident.

After a car accident, even when they appear to be in good condition, you should always have your vehicle’s seat belts checked to determine if they have been damaged, and if so, replace them so that you can drive safely.

Video Explanation

Advanced Emergency Braking system: Correct
AEB is a key component of ADAS, designed to automatically apply brakes when an imminent collision is detected. Using sensors, cameras, or radar, it monitors the road for vehicles, pedestrians, or obstacles. If a potential collision is identified and the driver does not respond in time, the system intervenes by applying brakes to reduce crash severity or avoid it altogether.
A system that holds the vehicle on steep downgrades: It is incorrect because this describes hill descent control, which is unrelated to AEB.
An Advanced Electronic Anti-lock Braking System: It is incorrect because this refers to ABS, which prevents wheel locking during emergency braking. While both enhance braking safety, AEB and ABS are distinct systems with different purposes.

The night vision system utilizes infrared technology to capture images that are invisible to the human eye, even with the aid of headlights. These images are then displayed in color on a screen within the instrument panel or projected onto the vehicle’s head-up display. This feature enhances safety by detecting pedestrians or animals that may be outside the driver’s direct line of sight.

Additionally, the Pedestrian Detection System (PCW) is another advanced safety feature that identifies pedestrians, animals, and cyclists on the road. If a potential collision is detected, the system alerts the driver and can automatically engage the brakes to prevent or mitigate an accident.

In Spain, the environmental classification of vehicles is based on their emissions and the Euro standard to reduce air pollution. The levels are as follows:

0 emissions: This category includes vehicles with no emissions, like electric cars, which contribute no pollutants to the air.
ECO: This classification includes hybrid or alternative fuel vehicles that produce low emissions, such as vehicles running on compressed natural gas (CNG) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).
C: These are vehicles that meet Euro 4, Euro 5, and Euro 6 standards but are still internal combustion engine vehicles with higher emissions compared to the “ECO” category.
B: This category includes vehicles with older emissions standards (Euro 3 and below) but still more efficient than older vehicles.

This signal is typically used to indicate the presence of a roadside assistance service vehicle nearby. These vehicles are equipped to assist with issues like breakdowns, tire changes, or other minor repairs on the road. It alerts other drivers to be cautious and to provide space for these service vehicles, which often have flashing lights and signs indicating their role in assisting drivers in distress.

When a car is towing a trailer, it generally has reduced stability, longer stopping distances, and different handling characteristics compared to a car driving without a trailer. For this reason, speed limits for vehicles towing trailers are lower than those for regular cars.

Lower Speed for Safety:
A trailer adds extra weight and affects braking efficiency. Driving at high speeds increases the risk of jackknifing (when the trailer swings out of control).
High speeds can also cause trailer sway, making it harder to control the vehicle.

Speed Limits on Different Roads:
On motorways and dual carriageways, the speed limit for cars towing trailers is often set lower than for regular vehicles to reduce the risk of high-speed instability. That’s why the limit is 90 km/h instead of 100 km/h.
On conventional roads, where traffic conditions are more variable, the speed limit is further reduced to 80 km/h to allow better reaction times and safer braking.

A “change in grade” occurs when there is a shift in the slope or incline of the road, usually where two sections with different slopes meet. This can happen when a steeper or gentler incline connects with another, altering the road’s elevation. It’s an important aspect for driving safety and road design.

The signs in the image indicate directions to other conventional roads rather than highways or motorways. The presence of an “N-” (National Road) designation and the white background confirm that these are conventional roads. Highways or motorways typically have blue signs, whereas these signs follow the standard format for national and regional roads.

Additionally, the sign on the right directs towards a town (“San Clemente”), but it does not indicate a highway or motorway, meaning it is also part of the conventional road network.

Video Explanation

Explanation:

It will emit an audible and/or visual warning when it detects an approaching vehicle: Correct
The Cross-Traffic Alert system enhances safety by using radar sensors to detect approaching vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists from the sides while reversing. When a potential hazard is detected, the system alerts the driver with audible beeps and/or visual signals (such as indicators on the infotainment screen or side mirrors), giving the driver time to react.
It will help the driver avoid the obstacle at the same moment it detects it: It is incorrect because the system does not actively steer or manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid obstacles. It is strictly a warning system.
It will take control of the vehicle, stopping it immediately when it detects an approaching vehicle: It is incorrect While some systems may combine Cross-Traffic Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), this feature is not standard in most Cross-Traffic Alert systems. It only provides warnings.

Dipped headlights (low beam lights) provide adequate visibility without causing glare for other drivers. If lighting conditions are uncertain—such as during dusk, dawn, fog, or heavy rain—turning on dipped headlights helps improve safety by making your vehicle visible to others.

A steady yellow traffic light means that the signal is about to turn red. Drivers should stop if it is safe to do so. It is a warning that the red light is imminent, giving drivers a chance to slow down and prepare to stop.

However, if a driver is too close to the intersection and stopping abruptly could be dangerous, they may proceed with caution. But the general rule is to treat it as a red light and stop safely.

As a general rule, when stopping or parking the vehicle, the driver must position it parallel to the road’s edge (line or curb). However, it may be parked differently if the road conditions or other factors suggest it (such as in a battery or oblique position).

عام طور پر گاڑی کو روکنے یا پارک کرنے کے دوران، ڈرائیور کو اسے سڑک کے کنارے کے ساتھ متوازی طور پر رکھنا چاہیے (لائن یا کرب)۔ تاہم، اگر سڑک کی حالت یا دیگر عوامل اس کی اجازت دیں تو گاڑی کو دوسری حالت میں بھی پارک کیا جا سکتا ہے (جیسے بیٹری یا ترچھے انداز میں)۔

It is illegal to discard objects on the road or in its surrounding area that could potentially start fires, cause traffic accidents, or hinder the smooth flow of traffic. This violation results in the deduction of six points.

The oil pressure warning light turns off when the engine is properly lubricated. When the oil is hot and circulating at the correct pressure, the system maintains proper lubrication, causing the warning light to remain off. If the warning light stays on, it indicates a problem with oil pressure, such as low oil levels or pump failure.

When a traffic officer extends their arm horizontally, it signals vehicles to stop. You can only resume driving when the officer gives a clear signal indicating that movement is allowed. A specific sign (such as a hand wave or directional signal) is the correct way an officer allows traffic to continue.

In Spain, vehicles drive on the right side of the road. On a two-way road with a shelter (or median) in the middle, traffic must stay on the right side of the shelter to maintain order and avoid collisions.

A vehicle should not drive directly on the broken (dashed) line because these lines are meant to separate lanes. Driving on the line instead of within a lane can be dangerous as it may cause lane drifting, confusion, and potential accidents.

Cyclists have priority over motor vehicles when they are riding in a designated and properly marked bicycle lane because these lanes are specifically designed for their safety. Bicycle lanes are meant to provide a protected space for cyclists, ensuring they are not forced into traffic. Motor vehicles must yield to cyclists in these lanes and avoid obstructing them.
