If when arriving at a tunnel or underpass with our vehicle we see that the traffic light located at the entrance of the tunnel is on with a red light as in the case of the image, this prohibits us from entering the tunnel until the light changes to green.
In this case we will stop in front of the traffic light until it changes to green light.

The overtaking of other vehicles will always be done on the left, except in some very specific cases, such as on roads within town with at least two lanes for each direction of travel, where you may overtake on the right provided the lanes are well-defined by road markings and you first ensure that you can overtake safely.

The vertical prohibition or restriction sign R-308D in the image prohibits parking on the side of the road on which it is placed from 9 am on the 16th of each month until 9 am on the 1st of the following month. This sign does not prohibit stopping, and the prohibition begins at the sign and extends to the next intersection. This sign does not prohibit stopping, only parking.

The greatest danger of conventional roads with two-way traffic and no physical separation between them is that a head-on collision between vehicles traveling in both directions is more likely as the traffic flows are together and we can find out oncoming traffic.
To avoid this, it is recommended that vehicles do not exceed the maximum speed of 90 kilometers per hour on these types of conventional roads to minimize the damage from a possible collision.

Except in cases of imminent danger, all drivers who have to reduce their speed considerably due to traffic conditions shall ensure beforehand that they can do so without danger to other road users, by giving a mandatory warning by repeatedly using the brake light.

When you park in an up gradient you should put the parking brake and select the first gear if it’s an up gradient, and the reverse gear in a descendant gradient.

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 vehicle seat belt should be placed as close to the body as possible, flat and without knots or bends, and tight to avoid the underwater effect. Under no circumstances should it be left loose as this could reduce its effectiveness, and it should be placed not on the abdomen directly but on the hips of the driver or passenger.

The Traffic Regulations prohibit the driver of a vehicle from throwing objects such as lighted cigarettes onto the road or in its vicinity that may cause fires or traffic accidents, hinder free circulation and endanger road safety.
This action will be punished with the loss of up to 4 points of our driving license so we must avoid this type of behavior.

A school group, unlike the rest of pedestrians, will have right of way to cross the road even when there isn’t a pedestrian crossing.

As a general rule, cycles should ride on the shoulder of the road, but if it is not wide enough or not passable, they can occupy part of the lane, always on the right side taking up as little space as possible. They also have the right to use that part of the right lane on extensive downhill slopes, on sections with curves or sections with hills.

Once the vehicle is immobilized, as a general rule, users must enter and exit from the side closest to the curb.
Exceptionally, on one-way urban roads, the exit and entry shall be made on the left or right side of the vehicle depending on the side on which the immobilization is carried out.

Among the possible factors favouring driver’s fatigue we have the poor condition of the road, especially if the road surface is poorly maintained, whether driving during the day or at night, and driving in bad weather such as rain or heavy snow. Other causes of fatigue are poor road lighting, high traffic density or adverse weather conditions.

When driving our vehicle we find a stretch of road affected by a weather phenomenon that reduces visibility as in the case of fog for example, we must turn on the front fog lights or the short or long- range light. If the vehicle is not equipped with front fog lights it is compulsory to switch on at least the position lights alongside the short- or dipped-beam lights.

The ventilatory support technique (or mouth-to-mouth respiration) should be done in the correct way to be effective, and it should be ensured at all times that the tongue does not obstruct the airway.
First, the injured person should be cleaned and the airway opened. Then take air, and joining the mouth with the wounded person’s mouth, perform about 10 breaths per minute.

Among the risk factors most related to traffic accidents involving adolescents and minors, low risk perception is one of the most frequent. This population tends not to perceive the risks of aggressive driving or alcohol and drug use while driving due to their lack of driving experience.

In general terms, women reach higher alcohol levels than men for the same body weight and amount of alcohol consumed. On the other hand, some people are more sensitive to alcohol than others, regardless of sex.

To the right: Correct
On a two-way road, vehicles must typically be driven on the right side (in countries where driving is on the right side of the road). This rule helps maintain a consistent and organized flow of traffic. It ensures that vehicles traveling in opposite directions are kept safely apart, reducing the risk of head-on collisions.
To the left or right, it does not matter: This is incorrect because driving on both sides of the road would create confusion and increase the risk of accidents.
To the left: This is incorrect in countries where driving on the right side is the standard. Only in countries where driving is on the left side of the road (like the UK and Australia) would this be the correct option.

Yes, you should stop the overtaking manoeuvre, decreasing your speed and returning to the right lane: Correct
If circumstances arise during an overtaking manoeuvre that could jeopardize the safety of road users, it is essential to stop overtaking. This means slowing down and safely returning to the right lane (or the appropriate lane). Prioritizing safety, reducing speed, and carefully returning to the correct lane are the best ways to avoid accidents and ensure the safety of all road users.
No, you must increase speed to finish overtaking more quickly: This is incorrect because increasing speed could make the situation more dangerous and increase the risk of an accident. It’s important to act cautiously and not rush overtaking in risky situations.
Yes, you must abruptly hit the brakes and quickly go back to the right lane: This is also incorrect. Abrupt braking could cause instability and increase the risk of an accident. A gradual reduction in speed and a smooth return to the right lane are safer choices.

From 14 to 15 years old in motorcycle riders: Correct
Mortality in traffic accidents tends to increase drastically for motorcycle riders as they transition from adolescence to early adulthood, specifically around the age of 14 to 15 years old.
Inexperience: Young riders may have limited experience and understanding of road safety and vehicle handling.
Risk-taking behavior: Adolescents are more prone to risky driving behaviors, including speeding, not wearing helmets, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Physical vulnerability: Motorcycles provide less protection than cars, making young riders more vulnerable to severe injuries and fatalities.
From 29 years: While road safety and accident risk can increase with age, especially due to factors like reaction time, physical health, and fatigue, the increase in mortality due to traffic accidents is generally not drastic at this age.
There is no specific age: This statement is inaccurate because research and statistical data clearly show that certain age groups, particularly young riders around the ages of 14-15, experience a significant increase in mortality in traffic accidents.

No, unless the road is expressly signed for right of way at the intersection: Correct
Overtaking at an intersection is generally prohibited because intersections are high-risk areas with potential for conflicts between vehicles coming from different directions. Overtaking in such situations can lead to accidents, as vehicles may be crossing your path unexpectedly.
Yes, when there is no give way requirement at the intersection: This is incorrect because the presence or absence of a give-way requirement does not automatically allow overtaking. Intersections are complex and require caution, regardless of whether a give-way rule exists.
Yes, if visibility is sufficient: Visibility is important for safety, but overtaking at an intersection is generally not permitted regardless of visibility. Intersections are where most collisions happen, and overtaking can significantly increase the risk.

No: Correct
Parking in a garage driveway is generally not permitted if the driveway is not designed for parking or if it obstructs the flow of traffic, creates a safety hazard, or violates local regulations. While private driveways are typically for parking, it is important to ensure that the driveway is not blocking public roads, sidewalks, or emergency vehicle access.
Yes, but you must turn on the emergency lights: This is incorrect. Emergency lights are used to signal a vehicle is in distress or temporarily stopped in hazardous conditions. They are not typically required when parking in a private garage driveway.
Yes: This option would be correct only if the garage driveway is properly designated for parking and does not violate local regulations. However, in some places, parking in certain driveways might be restricted.

Yes, because it takes longer to react: Correct
Driving while tired is dangerous because fatigue significantly affects your reaction times, judgment, and concentration. When you’re tired, your brain’s ability to process information slows down, making it harder to react quickly to unexpected situations, such as sudden stops or obstacles. This greatly increases the risk of accidents.
There is no danger, because fatigue relaxes you: This is incorrect. While fatigue may make you feel more relaxed, it actually reduces your alertness and concentration, which is dangerous when driving.
There is no danger because you drive more slowly when tired: This is also incorrect. Driving slowly does not eliminate the risks associated with fatigue. Even at lower speeds, slower reaction times, poor decision-making, and reduced awareness still pose significant dangers.

Driving becomes more dangerous because of the lack of rest: Correct
Driving for many hours at a time without taking breaks is dangerous because prolonged driving leads to fatigue. Fatigue decreases your ability to concentrate, slows reaction times, and impairs decision-making. This significantly increases the risk of accidents. Taking regular breaks to rest and refresh is crucial for maintaining focus and safety while driving.
You drive better because it increases your concentration: This is incorrect. Driving for long hours without breaks actually reduces concentration over time. Fatigue sets in, making it harder to stay alert and focused, even if you initially felt fine.
It will increase safety as it reduces fatigue: This is incorrect because driving for long hours without rest increases fatigue, not reduces it. Fatigue is a major risk factor in accidents, and failing to rest properly can make you less safe on the road.

Request an extension attaching the necessary documentation: Correct
If your license expires and you want to continue driving, you generally need to request an extension or renewal from the relevant authorities. This process typically involves submitting the required documents, such as proof of identity and sometimes a medical examination, depending on the regulations in your area. This ensures that you remain legally able to drive without needing to retake the theoretical or practical tests.
Take a new theoretical test: This is incorrect in most cases. Generally, you do not need to retake the theoretical test to renew or extend your expired license, unless you have specific circumstances, such as a long period of expiration or if required by the local laws.
Retake the practical tests: This is also incorrect for standard license renewal. Most regions do not require retaking the practical test for license renewal.

Yes: Correct
When a vehicle is changing direction, it is typically required to signal its intent using indicators or turn signals. If the vehicle has signaled properly with the indicator lights, it has sufficiently warned other road users of its intended change of direction.
No, the emergency lights must also be switched on: This is incorrect. Emergency lights (hazard lights) are used in specific situations, like when a vehicle is stopped in an emergency, or when it is moving at a very slow speed, not necessarily for turning or changing lanes.
No, this must also be done with the hand: This is incorrect in most cases. While hand signals are important in certain situations, modern vehicles are equipped with electronic indicators to signal turns or lane changes. The use of hand signals is typically only required when indicators are not functioning.

To drive a vehicle, it is obligatory to have in the vehicle two hazard warning triangles and at least one high-visibility reflective vest, which you must put on when you get out of the vehicle. For this reason, it is advisable to carry it inside the vehicle someplace handy in case of any emergency. It is also obligatory for some vehicles, such as passenger cars, to carry a spare tire or a tire repair kit, as well as the necessary tools to change the tire.

Road construction traffic signals like those in the image are vertical signs similar to other signs, with the difference being that the background of these signs is yellow and they are used to signal detours or provisional changes due to road works on a section of road.

In this case should be the cyclist who gives way to the green vehicle because this one appears from his right. In this intersection without regulations about the right of way, the general rule should be applied (give way to the vehicles coming from the right side).

Article 121 of traffic regulations states that a disabled person using a wheel chair, with or without motor, traveling at walking speed, can use the shoulder of a highway, or, if the shoulder is not passable or does not exist, on the roadway itself, provided they do so cautiously and following the appropriate road safety rules.
