Vehicles driving in a lane changed to the opposite direction of travel from the usual must always use at least the low-beam or dipped headlights, both during the day and at night, obligatorily. The maximum speed that cannot be exceeded in these lanes is 80 kilometers per hour, and if you are driving in this lane, you cannot move to the side and invade the lane or lanes moving in the opposite direction, not even to overtake other vehicles.

The end of prohibition vertical sign R-506 that we see in the image, indicates us the place where it ends and from where a previous vertical sign of “Minimum speed” is no longer applicable.

Whenever a traffic light contains the outline of a cycle, as in the image, it means that its instructions are aimed solely at cycles, bicycles and mopeds. Therefore, all other vehicles and pedestrians should not follow these instructions.

In the areas and roads located within built-up areas, it is strictly forbidden to park our vehicle on the sidewalks, footpaths, walkways and other areas intended for pedestrian traffic, in front of duly marked fords and in areas marked for loading and unloading of goods transport vehicles.

The owner of the vehicle that appears in the Driver’s register will be responsible for all infractions related to the documentation of the vehicle and the state of conservation that may occur in the vehicle. It does not matter if driver and owner do not coincide.

Children’s field of vision is limited by their short stature. For this reason they have difficulty seeing traffic between parked cars. Drivers also have more difficulty seeing them.

Vulnerable or high-risk groups are those population groups that are particularly affected by road safety and are more likely to suffer an accident. These groups include:
• Elderly.
• Children.
• Young people between 15 and 24 years of age.
• Pedestrians in general.

The maximum speed which cannot be exceeded by passenger cars, motorcycles, buses, trucks, and other vehicles on cross-town roads and roads in town is 50 kilometers per hour. This maximum speed must not be exceeded at any time, not even to overtake another vehicle.

One of the functions of GPS navigation systems is to advise you of the best route and indicate the speed at which you are driving to help you monitor it. Despite this, drivers should always check the speedometer as a primary source of information on the speed at which you are driving, and use their best judgment as to the condition of the road and signage, which prevails over what the GPS says.

Motorcycles, three-wheeled vehicles, quadricycles, quads, three-wheeled mopeds, and light quadricycles must pass their first vehicle technical inspection 4 years after their date of registration. After that first inspection, they must pass the MOT every two years for the life of the vehicle.

All vehicles traveling on public roads need a driver. It is for this reason that the law on traffic, motor vehicles and road safety defines a driver as the person who handles the steering mechanism or the controls of a vehicle, or who is driving one or more animals.

As a general rule, drivers of motor vehicles have right of way over animals when driving on public roads, except at designated animal crossings or when turning onto another road where animals are crossing, in which case the animals will have right of way and drivers must yield.

The driver of a stationary or parked vehicle who intends to join the traffic on a road must first ensure, even following the directions of another person if necessary, that he can do so without danger to other road users, and must give way to all vehicles and road users, taking into account their position, trajectory and speed.
So in this case, the yellow car, when merging on the right or left will give way to all the vehicles driving in the road he enters.

کھڑی یا پارک کی ہوئی گاڑی کا ڈرائیور جو سڑک پر ٹریفک میں شامل ہونا چاہتا ہے، اسے پہلے یہ یقینی بنانا ہوگا کہ وہ ایسا بغیر کسی خطرے کے کر سکتا ہے، یہاں تک کہ اگر ضروری ہو تو دوسرے شخص کی ہدایات بھی لے۔ اسے تمام گاڑیوں اور راستے کے دیگر استعمال کرنے والوں کو راستہ دینا ہوگا، ان کی جگہ، سمت اور رفتار کو مدنظر رکھتے ہوئے۔
اس صورت میں، پیلی گاڑی جب دائیں یا بائیں مڑتی ہے تو اسے اس سڑک پر چلنے والی تمام گاڑیوں کو راستہ دینا ہوگا۔

Due to the static electricity produced when our body comes into contact with flammable fuel vapours, it is recommended that before refuelling our vehicle we make sure to turn off the engine, lighting devices, electrical appliances and even our mobile phones. We should also not smoke near the place where we refuel.

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.

Stopping or parking in dangerous places or in places that seriously obstruct traffic shall be considered as stopping or parking on medians, dividers, traffic islands or other traffic channelling elements. Stopping or parking in these places is strictly forbidden.

Traffic regulations allow driving with adhesive sheets or sunshades on the rear windows provided the vehicle has two outer rear view mirrors that meet the necessary technical specifications and the driver’s view of the road is not affected.

Any time you try to go up a hill when the road is snowy, you should do it slowly with sustained speed, as this helps the tires grip the road more firmly so that the vehicle doesn’t slip. You should also use the highest gear possible in this situation.

The vast majority of victims of traffic accidents, especially fatal ones, occur on interurban roads, especially on straight stretches (more than on curves, even) and at speeds between 50 and 80 kilometers per hour.

Among the negative effects of cocaine use when driving a vehicle we can find out a reduced ability to make decisions and assess risks, decreased sense of fatigue, overconfidence and reduced driver’s concentration.

Among the effects of sleep and drowsiness we can find out an increased reaction time and tired eyes in the driver.
This explains accidents such as rear-end collisions, when the vehicle in front brakes and the driver is not able to stop in time. Drowsiness also makes it difficult to concentrate in traffic.

Require checks on the water level in their tank: Correct
Windscreen wipers use water from a tank (usually the windshield washer reservoir) to spray onto the windshield to help clean it. For this system to function properly, it is essential to regularly check and ensure that there is enough water in the reservoir. If the water level is low, the wipers won’t be able to clean the windshield effectively, which can impair visibility and safety.
Require checks on the level in the cooling circuit from where the water is taken: This is incorrect because the water used by the windscreen wipers is not sourced from the vehicle’s cooling system. The cooling system’s water or coolant is separate and used to regulate the engine temperature.
Require no maintenance: This is incorrect because windscreen wipers do require maintenance, such as checking the water level, inspecting the condition of the wiper blades, and ensuring that the washer system is functioning properly. Neglecting these checks can lead to reduced effectiveness and potential damage.

When there is fog, or heavy rain or snow: Correct
Front fog lights are specifically designed to improve visibility in adverse weather conditions where regular headlights might not be effective. These lights are positioned lower on the vehicle and project a wide, short beam of light that helps illuminate the road directly in front of you while reducing glare that could reflect off fog, rain, or snow.
When you travel in an additional lane: Fog lights are unrelated to lane usage. They are not meant for normal driving conditions and should not be used simply because you’re in a different lane.
When you enter a tunnel: While it’s necessary to turn on your lights in tunnels, dipped (low-beam) headlights are typically required, not fog lights. Fog lights are only for poor visibility caused by weather, not for darkness in tunnels.

Yes, on the protruding part to reduce the effects of possible scraping or impact: Correct
A load that extends beyond the frame of the vehicle poses a potential safety hazard to other road users and property. Protecting the protruding part reduces the risk of.
Damage: Covering or cushioning the protruding part helps prevent damage caused by scraping or impacts with objects or other vehicles.
Injuries: Protrusions can cause serious injuries in the event of a collision. Protective measures reduce this risk.
Visibility: Ensuring the protruding part is protected and marked makes it more visible, especially in low-light conditions, enhancing safety.
Only when driving between dusk and dawn: While visibility is critical at night, protecting the load is essential at all times to prevent damage or accidents, regardless of the time of day.
No, it is not necessary if it is properly marked: Proper marking is important for visibility, but protection goes beyond marking to physically safeguard against potential scrapes or impacts.

I must give way and then move to the right-hand lane: Correct
Road markings often indicate specific instructions about how to proceed at an intersection or along the road.
Give way: You must yield to any oncoming traffic or pedestrians before making a move.
Move to the right-hand lane: After yielding, you are instructed to change into the right lane to proceed with your journey. This may occur at a junction or when preparing to make a turn or exit onto a different road.
I can change the direction of travel: This would indicate a different type of marking, such as one allowing U-turns or lane changes, but it doesn’t specifically address yielding and moving to a new lane.
I must stop, always, and then turn right: A stop sign would be clearly marked with a different type of road marking. This scenario is more about yielding and lane change than stopping and turning.

80 km/h: Correct
In many regions, when traveling on a motorway within town limits and no specific speed limit signage is posted, the default maximum speed limit is often 80 km/h. This speed is a standard for roads within urban areas, where traffic density, intersections, and pedestrian activity are higher, requiring a moderate speed for safety.
70 km/h: While 70 km/h might be a speed limit in some specific areas within towns, it is less commonly the default speed limit for motorways within town limits, unless there are specific conditions like higher traffic or residential zones.
120 km/h: This speed limit is typically applied on highways or motorways outside town limits, where traffic is less dense and the infrastructure allows for higher speeds.

3 metres: Correct
Stopping a vehicle may be considered a traffic obstruction if the distance between the vehicle and the opposite side of the road is less than 3 metres. This is because a smaller distance can block the flow of traffic, preventing other vehicles from passing safely, especially in narrow roads or busy areas. Maintaining a clear space ensures that vehicles can still manoeuvre and that traffic continues to flow smoothly.
4 metres: While a larger distance would allow more room, it is typically more than necessary to prevent obstruction in most cases.
3.5 metres: This is not the standard limit; the critical distance for ensuring clear passage is usually around 3 metres.

Because it almost halves the chances of an accident being fatal: Correct
Wearing a seatbelt is essential because it significantly reduces the risk of severe injury or death in the event of an accident. Seatbelts prevent occupants from being ejected from the vehicle or violently thrown inside the car. This restraint is crucial in a crash, as it almost halves the chances of an accident being fatal by keeping the occupant in place and minimizing the impact of sudden deceleration forces.
Because the safety belt absorbs the impact energy in an accident: While this is true to some extent, the primary function of a seatbelt is not to absorb the impact energy itself, but to distribute and restrain the forces experienced during a collision.
Safety belt is not compulsory when the vehicle is fitted with airbags: This statement is incorrect. Airbags and seatbelts work together for the best protection. Airbags are designed to complement seatbelts, not replace them.

Yes, it worsens them: Correct
Fatigue worsens the effects caused by alcohol consumption. When a person is tired, their cognitive functions, reaction times, and ability to focus are already impaired. Adding alcohol to this state significantly increases the risk of accidents and poor decision-making. Fatigue and alcohol both affect the brain in similar ways by reducing concentration, impairing judgment, and slowing reaction times.
Yes, it minimizes them: Fatigue does not minimize the effects of alcohol. In fact, when a person is tired, their body is already under stress, and the impact of alcohol becomes more pronounced. Fatigue reduces the body’s ability to process alcohol effectively, making the effects even more dangerous.
No: Fatigue does influence the effects of alcohol. When a person is tired, their ability to handle alcohol is compromised, leading to an enhanced impairment of their driving or decision-making abilities.

The one which must reverse the furthest distance: Correct
This could be based on local traffic rules or specific road conditions where it is more logical for the vehicle that has the shorter reversing distance to yield the way.
Minimized Risk: Longer reversing distances increase the risk of collisions or unsafe manoeuvres, especially on narrow or winding roads.
Traffic Flow: Allowing the vehicle with the longer reversing distance to proceed avoids unnecessary delays or disruptions.
The wider or longer vehicle: The width or length of a vehicle is not a standard criterion for determining right of way in narrow road scenarios. While larger vehicles may sometimes be given precedence for practical reasons (e.g., difficulty in maneuvering), this rule typically applies only in cases where the size of the vehicle directly affects its ability to reverse safely.
The one which must reverse the shortest distance: While this is a common rule in some regions to minimize disruption and risk. Reversing a shorter distance is generally easier, so this vehicle is expected to yield. Traffic laws or customary practices in certain regions might prioritize the vehicle with a longer reversing distance to reduce complications.
