The use of the vehicle’s rear fog lights is only permitted when meteorological conditions are especially unfavourable, such as in the case of thick fog, very intense rain, heavy snow or dense clouds of dust or smoke. If you find yourself driving in light rain, you should not use this type of light.

If we are forced to perform an emergency service with our vehicle, we must tell other users to warn them of this special situation. You can blow the horn and we will have the emergency signal connected.

If your vehicle has undergone a substantial technical reform that has altered its characteristics, before driving on public roads you must pass a technical inspection certifying that the vehicle meets safety and environmental requirements, thus legalizing the reform made to the vehicle. This inspection may only be done at an official ITV/MOT station, never at an authorized workshop.

Not to create danger or obstacles for other road users: Correct
When making a U-turn, the primary concern is safety for all road users. The key rule for U-turns is ensuring that your actions do not interfere with or endanger other road users. This includes looking for oncoming traffic and making sure the road is clear before turning. A U-turn should always be performed in a way that maintains road safety for everyone.
Always to use a part of the road designed for the turn: While using a designated area for U-turns is preferred, it may not always be possible. The important part is that the manoeuvre is performed safely, regardless of whether it occurs in a specific turn lane or not.
Always to leave a distance of more than 100 m to the vehicle in front: While maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle in front is always important, the specific distance of 100 meters is not a universal rule for U-turns.

On all public roads, overtaking other vehicles must be done on the left.
Exceptionally, overtaking on the right may be allowed on roads within built-up areas with at least two lanes for the same direction and delimited with road markings, provided that the driver of the vehicle previously ensures that he can do so without danger to other users.

The P-50 vertical hazard warning sign for other hazards tells us that we are approaching a hazard other than those warned by other road signs.

The vertical hazard warning sign P-14B shown in the image indicates that you are approaching a section of road where there is a hazard due to a series of dangerous curves, with the first curve being towards the left.

Traffic regulations state that pedestrians are always required to travel in pedestrian zones except when none exists or it is not feasible, in which case they may travel on the shoulder or the roadway. In areas within town, if no pedestrian zone exists, they may travel on the right or left depending on the specific circumstances of traffic, the road or visibility.

When overtaking on a conventional road with our motorcycle, after the modification of the regulation approved on 2022, we cannot exceed the maximum speed established for that road, even if the overtaken vehicle is traveling slower than us.
Previously it was possible to exceed the maximum speed on conventional roads by 20 km/hour, but now it is PROHIBITED.

As a general rule, the layout of the motorcycle controls is such that the clutch is operated with the left lever, the rear brake with the right foot, and the throttle with the right hand. The gear shift lever will be located on the left foot pedal and the front brake will be operated with the right lever.

If we drive on a wet road, and our vehicle does not have an ABS braking system, when we press the brake pedal fully down in an emergency, the immediate effect will be to lock the wheels and lengthen the braking time, causing the vehicle to skid and we will lose the direction of the vehicle following its own inertia.

Moped riders and occupants must wear crash helmets on all roads. They are only exempt from wearing it if they have a doctor’s exemption certificate or if the moped has a protective structure and belts, in which case they are obliged to wear their seatbelts.

The braking distance is the distance the vehicle travels from the moment the brake pedal is pressed until the vehicle comes to a stop. This distance mainly depends on the speed at which you are driving, but is also affected by the mass of the vehicle, the condition of the brakes and the condition of the road and surroundings.

Hazard warning triangles should be placed at the edge of the roadway as follows:
• On two-way roads, one shall be placed at the front and one at the rear at least 50 meters from the vehicle and shall be visible to other road users at least 100 meters away.
• In the case of a road with carriageways separated by a central reservation, a triangle should only be placed 50 meters behind the vehicle.
The traffic regulations oblige you to carry two triangles and at least one reflective vest in your vehicle.

Checking or adjusting the GPS, radio or heating and air conditioning while driving can be a distraction at the wheel for the driver by making them take their eyes off the road, even if it’s just for a few seconds. For this reason, handling these things is considered very dangerous and can be a punishable offense, because it is a distraction from driving even in light traffic.

Snow and other adverse weather conditions cause a loss of traction between the vehicle’s tires and the asphalt. For this reason, to start the vehicle, you should do it very smoothly using the highest possible gear, usually second or third gear, to prevent the wheels from sliding and causing you to skid.

The most common injuries suffered by a cyclist when hit by a car are located in the whole body and extremities such as legs and arms.
On the other hand, when we refer to the most serious injuries, these will be located in the head, especially if they ride without a helmet.

Wearing a seat belt cuts the risk of death in an accident by half, in addition to protecting occupants from being thrown from their seats and hitting the windshield. Studies have shown that the chances of being seriously injured or killed are 5 times less if the seat belt is worn, and are doubled if it is not worn for occupants in all seats of the car, including the driver and passengers.

The driver of a vehicle will start to notice that they are fatigued when any of the following symptoms appear while driving: constantly moving around in the seat, yawning, stretching the arms, constant blinking and heavy eyes. Once this happens, they should find a place where they can park and stop to rest.

Drivers of any type of vehicle may not exceed a blood alcohol level of 0.3 grams per liter nor a breath alcohol level of 0.15 milligrams per liter during the two years after obtaining their first driving license.

DGT New levels still awaiting, will update accordingly.

Get out of the intersection without bothering other users: Correct
When the traffic light turns red and a car is blocking the intersection, it should move out of the intersection immediately. This helps avoid obstructing traffic and ensures that other road users can move freely. Stopping in the intersection when the light turns red can create congestion and may cause accidents.
Wait for the blinking yellow light to turn on: This is incorrect because the car should not wait for any signal. It must clear the intersection immediately to avoid obstruction.
Wait for the light to turn green: This is also incorrect because the car should not block the intersection while waiting for the green light. It should move out of the intersection if possible.

Loses effectiveness and can produce injuries during an accident: Correct
When seat belts are not properly stretched or adjusted, they cannot perform their primary function of securely holding the occupant in place during an accident. A loose seat belt can result in the person being thrown around or even ejected from the seat, which can increase the risk of injury. In the worst-case scenario, the seat belt could cause additional injuries due to the force it exerts during the crash.
Gives more protection in case of an accident: If the seat belt is not properly stretched or adjusted, it cannot offer maximum protection. A loose seat belt does not restrain the occupant effectively, thus diminishing its protective function in the event of an accident.
Its effectiveness is not reduced in case of an accident: A poorly adjusted or loose seat belt significantly reduces its effectiveness in the event of an accident.

Take great care, slowing to below the speed limit: Correct
When approaching an opening bridge, drivers should slow down and proceed with caution. The bridge may be in the process of opening or may have uneven surfaces, which can pose a risk to safety. Slowing down below the speed limit ensures that the driver can react in time to any changes or potential hazards, such as the bridge moving or vehicles stopping suddenly.
Speed up to cross as quickly as possible: Speeding up to cross the bridge quickly is dangerous. The opening bridge can create unpredictable situations, such as gaps or uneven surfaces. Rushing can increase the risk of accidents, especially if the driver cannot react quickly enough.
Always stop before crossing: While stopping may sometimes be necessary (for example, when the bridge is fully opening), it is not a universal requirement. The driver should assess the situation and stop only if it is clearly required or indicated, such as when the bridge is still opening.

When double-parked and driverless: Correct
A vehicle that is double-parked (parked alongside another vehicle, blocking part of the road) and driverless severely obstructs traffic. It blocks lanes that could be used by other vehicles, causing congestion and potentially creating a hazard. The absence of the driver means the vehicle cannot be moved quickly to allow traffic to pass.
When parked in an area reserved for loading and unloading, outside the hours of use: This can cause obstruction, but it is not as severe as double parking with a driverless vehicle.
When near a crosswalk: Parking near a crosswalk can be dangerous because it reduces visibility for pedestrians and drivers. However, it does not obstruct traffic as severely as double parking because it does not block entire lanes.

Inform the relevant Traffic Office: Correct
If any information on your driver’s license changes, such as your address, name, or other important details, you are legally required to inform the relevant Traffic Office or licensing authority. This ensures that your license remains accurate and up-to-date, which is important for identification and legal purposes.
Do nothing; it is not necessary to do any paperwork: This is incorrect. Failing to update your driver’s license information when it changes could result in issues, especially if you need to prove your identity or address in legal situations.
Update the information at the next renewal: This is also incorrect. While you can update some details at renewal, certain changes must be reported immediately (like a change of address or name) rather than waiting for the next renewal.

No: Correct
Overtaking typically refers to a vehicle passing another vehicle traveling in the same direction in the same lane. If vehicles in one lane are traveling faster than those in another lane, but are not moving past or overtaking another vehicle, this does not count as overtaking.
Yes, unless the faster vehicles are in the right-hand lane: This option is incorrect because the definition of overtaking does not depend on which lane a vehicle is in. Overtaking happens when a vehicle moves past another vehicle in the same direction, regardless of the lane.
Only if the faster vehicles are in the left lane: This is also incorrect because overtaking can occur in either lane, not just the left lane.

No: Correct
It is not mandatory to carry a reflective vest for the passenger in all passenger cars. The requirement for a reflective vest is typically for the driver or for situations where the driver or passengers exit the vehicle on roads where visibility is crucial, such as interurban roads or highways.
No, the reflective vest is not mandatory for passenger cars: This option is incorrect because in many regions, the reflective vest is not required for all passengers in regular passenger cars.
Yes, because they must wear it if they leave the vehicle and are on the shoulder of the road on an interurban road: This is incorrect in the context of the question. While the driver must wear the vest in certain situations, passengers are not universally required to carry or wear reflective vests.

Yes, because it improves the effectiveness of the airbag: Correct
Even though a vehicle is equipped with airbags, wearing a seat belt is still necessary and improves the overall safety. The seat belt works in conjunction with the airbag to secure the occupant in place during a crash, preventing them from being thrown forward and reducing the risk of injury. The airbag alone cannot provide sufficient protection without the seat belt, as it is designed to protect the upper body but not keep the occupant from moving around in the seat.
It is recommended, but not necessary: This is incorrect because wearing a seat belt is legally required in most places, even in vehicles with airbags. It is not just recommended but mandatory for safety.
No, if the airbags are activated, it is not necessary: This is incorrect because airbags cannot function as the only means of protection. While airbags help cushion the impact, the seat belt ensures that the occupant remains in the correct position, reducing the likelihood of injury.

Yes, if it has left and right rear vision mirrors outside: Correct
In many places, it is allowed to have shades or tinted windows in the rear of a vehicle, but with a condition. If the vehicle has functioning left and right rear vision mirrors outside, then tinted or shaded windows in the rear are generally permitted. These mirrors are required to ensure the driver can still see clearly from all sides of the vehicle, even with shaded windows.
No, they are prohibited: This option is incorrect because shaded windows are not necessarily prohibited. In many countries, tinted windows are allowed in the rear, especially if the vehicle has proper rear-view mirrors.
Yes: While this option is generally true, it does not fully cover the conditions under which tinted windows are permitted. The condition about the rear-view mirrors should be considered.

Those members of the population most likely to have an accident: Correct
In traffic terms, vulnerable groups refer to individuals who are at higher risk of being involved in accidents due to their physical or situational characteristics. This group includes pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, children, elderly people, and those with physical disabilities. These groups are more vulnerable because they lack the protective features that vehicles provide, such as airbags and seat belts.
Young people under 30 who are injured in accidents: While young people may be more likely to be involved in accidents, being under 30 is not the key characteristic that defines vulnerability in traffic terms. Vulnerability is more related to the nature of the road user and their exposure to risk rather than their age alone.
Passengers who are injured in an automobile accident: While passengers are certainly at risk, being a passenger in itself doesn’t define vulnerability in the same way as being a pedestrian or cyclist, who are more exposed in case of an accident. Vulnerable groups are typically those without the protective measures that vehicles offer.
