The traffic light shown in the image and its indications are only for pedestrians on the road and motor vehicles must not obey it. The traffic lights reserved for pedestrians can be found with a non-flashing red light in the form of a motionless pedestrian. It indicates that pedestrians should not start crossing the roadway. Below the red light, we find a non-flashing green light in the form of a pedestrian in motion. It indicates that they can start crossing the roadway. If it is flashing, it means that the time to cross is about to end and that the red light will be on shortly.

If you find yourself on a road with fog, heavy rain, heavy snow or clouds of smoke or dust, you should turn on the vehicle’s front fog light provided the position lights are turned on, and it may be used alone or in combination with the low-beam or even the high-beam headlights. So, we can say that in this situation, you would use the front fog lights, the low-beam or the high-beam headlights.

When we see a police car behind our vehicle, activating a flashing or flashing red or yellow light, we must stop on the right side, in front of the police control with caution and without creating risk situations to other users. We must remain inside the vehicle and follow the instructions given by the officer.

The purpose of road signs is to warn and inform road users with enough advance notice of the circumstances of the road or specific traffic situations, or to order or regulate their behavior. Traffic signs are a system of communication in which spoken language is replaced by a language of shapes, colors, silhouettes, symbols and signals.

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.

The traffic authority is responsible for establishing the maximum speed limits for each type of public road with the goal of ensuring safety and adequate traffic flow on them, reducing the number of accidents caused by this risk factor. It is the obligation of each road user to respect these limits to ensure their safety and the safety of their passengers.

Special or combination vehicles that do not have brake signals must never exceed a maximum speed of 25 kilometers per hour on any road that they drive on.

Braking distance: This is the distance travelled by the vehicle from the time it effectively brakes by pressing the brake pedal until the vehicle comes to a complete stop; this is directly related to the condition of the brakes and tires and their proper maintenance.

At intersections where right of way is not indicated by signage, traffic regulations state that, in the absence of right of way signs, the driver is always required to yield to all vehicles approaching from their right. As in this case, the animal-drawn vehicle is approaching from the right, even though it is not a motor vehicle, it has right of way because it is coming from your right side

Traffic regulations state that all drivers and passengers of vehicles on urban and interurban roads are required to properly fasten their seat belts. However, there are some exceptions, such as the one stating that when drivers of vehicles for distribution of goods make repeated loading and unloading operations on urban roads, they are exempt from wearing their seat belt.

Traffic regulations state that it is prohibited to stop or park on curves or hills with reduced visibility and, in general, in any place or situation where there is not enough visibility to be able to perform the manoeuvre or stop it once you have started, unless the two directions of travel are clearly delineated and the manoeuvre can be performed without invading the area reserved for traffic in the opposite direction. Therefore, in general, it is NOT forbidden, but if there is reduced visibility, then it is.

Traffic regulations state that road users who approach a level crossing or a movable bridge with its gate closed or in motion must stop, obligatorily, one behind the other in their corresponding lanes until the way is clear.

Seat belts are the vehicle’s safety system proven to be most effective at preventing death and serious injury in all types of collisions, and so their use is obligatory for the driver and for all passengers in a passenger car, on both urban and interurban roads.

When we find snow, ice or other adverse weather conditions on the road, they cause a decrease in the adherence of the tires of our vehicle to the asphalt.

That is why to restart the vehicle, we will always do it very smoothly and using the highest possible gear, normally the second or third gear to prevent the wheels from skidding and suffer a skid.

When the driver of a vehicle suffers from a respiratory allergy, he should always be careful to drive with the windows closed and never open, especially in the spring season, since open windows can allow pollen to filter through, giving rise to symptoms such as sneezing or itchy eyes, which negatively affect the driver’s ability to drive.

If a driver is stressed while driving a vehicle, among other negative effects that can negatively affect their ability to drive safely, they will become fatigued more easily, their reaction capacity will decrease and their reaction time will increase, slowing down their reactions and decisions at the wheel.

Traffic regulations state that it is not advisable, in general, for vehicles to drive in parallel with two wheeled vehicles such as motorcycles because, in the case of deviation to one side due to wind or any other reason, the motorcycle can lose balance and crash laterally with the vehicle.

The vertical warning sign P-1. Intersection with priority, indicates that there is a danger due to the proximity of an intersection with a road, whose users must yield the right of way.

Therefore, as we are driving on the main road, we will have the right of way and vehicles approaching from the sides must yield to our vehicle.

An increase in braking distance: Correct
When the road is wet, the surface friction is reduced, which means your motorcycle’s tires cannot grip the road as well as they would on a dry surface. As a result, it takes longer for the motorcycle to stop because the braking efficiency is compromised. Therefore, the braking distance will increase in wet conditions.
Reduced reaction distance: The reaction distance is the distance your motorcycle travels while you are reacting to a situation. This distance depends on your reaction time, not the road conditions. Wet roads don’t directly affect your reaction time, so this option is incorrect.
Stopping distance does not increase: This is incorrect because stopping distance is a combination of reaction distance and braking distance. On wet roads, the braking distance increases due to reduced friction, meaning the overall stopping distance increases as well.

The hand brake, as a general rule, is only used to immobilize the vehicle once we have stopped. In very extreme cases, for example, a total failure of the foot brake if we can use it, if necessary, as an emergency brake.

To make a U-turn, the driver must choose the most suitable part of the road, provided that place allows them to do it as quickly as possible with a single turn, without doing more manoeuvres. Therefore, the U-turn must be done all at once, without complementary manoeuvres like reversing, and if this is not possible due to the narrowness of the road, you should continue on until you find a suitable place to do it.

Yes, as long as it is a driver warning system that does not act on the vehicle’s driving systems: Correct
While it is possible to install advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS) on an already registered car, the key factor is that the system must not interfere with the vehicle’s primary driving systems (like steering, braking, or acceleration). Many aftermarket ADAS solutions are available that offer features like lane departure warning, forward collision warning, or blind spot monitoring, but these typically only provide alerts to the driver. They do not actively intervene in the vehicle’s driving systems, which makes them easier to install on vehicles that were not originally equipped with such systems.
Yes, any of them in order to improve the active safety of the vehicle and avoid accidents: This is not correct, as some ADAS systems, especially those that control steering or braking, may require significant modifications to the vehicle and are not always compatible with existing systems. Installing such systems could also affect the vehicle’s warranty or legality in certain regions.
No, in no case: This is incorrect because, as mentioned, it is possible to install certain driver assistance systems through aftermarket solutions, as long as they do not interfere with the vehicle’s driving systems.

The main function of the front fog light is to improve lighting of the road in case of fog, rain or snow, and so you may use this light in the situation in the image. However, you cannot use the rear fog light, since this may only be used when meteorological conditions are particularly unfavourable, as in the case of thick fog or heavy snow.

Any vehicle stopped, stationary or parked between sunset and sunrise on the roadway or shoulder of an insufficiently illuminated road, shall leave the position lights on, and may replace them with parking lights, or with the two position lights on the side corresponding to the roadway, when parked in line.

Avoid collisions with pedestrians or vehicles: Correct
The Blind Spot Monitoring Information System (BSIS-BSM) is designed to detect objects, vehicles, or pedestrians that may be in the driver’s blind spots, particularly when changing lanes or merging. It alerts the driver to the presence of vehicles or obstacles in areas that are difficult to see, helping to avoid potential collisions.
Prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when leaving on a hill: This is the function of Hill Start Assist, not BSIS-BSM.
Prevent occupants from getting out of the vehicle and walking on the road in an emergency: This is not a function of BSIS-BSM. It would be related to other safety systems like emergency stop systems or safety alerts for passengers.

In an emergency situation that forces us to immobilize our vehicle on the shoulder of the road, such as when suffering a breakdown, we must signal our immobilization by placing two danger warning triangles on all types of roads:
One at the front and one at the rear, at least 50 meters away from the vehicle and so that they are visible at least 100 meters away.

We will also turn on the emergency signal and, if necessary, the vehicle’s position lights.

The Road Traffic Regulations will not consider the humps at pedestrian crossings and cross strips as obstacles on the roadway, provided that they comply with the basic regulations established for this purpose by the Ministry of Public Works and road safety is guaranteed for road users and, in particular, for cyclists.

Traffic accidents are a serious and priority social problem which, directly or indirectly, affects us all and has a huge economic impact on the population. Drivers have the keys to avoid the vast majority of accidents in their hands, since statistics show that the human factor is behind most traffic accidents.

Herd of animals, if there is no cattle route ( road where animals should walk), they will always travel as close as possible to the right-hand side of the route in the direction of travel.

Reducing the intensity of light that falls directly on the target allowing the driver to enjoy maximum visibility of the rest of the road: Correct
Vehicles with state-of-the-art LED automatic lights are often equipped with adaptive lighting systems that adjust the intensity and direction of the headlights to avoid blinding or dazzling other road users. By reducing the intensity of the light that directly hits other vehicles or pedestrians, the system ensures that the driver gets optimal visibility without causing discomfort or danger to others on the road.
Diverting the lights to the right while there are other road users who may be dazzled: This is not a comprehensive solution. While it’s true that some lighting systems can adjust the direction of the headlights to avoid blinding oncoming drivers, simply diverting the lights to the right doesn’t ensure optimal visibility for the driver or properly protect other road users.
Reducing the speed of the vehicle, even stopping it: This is not a typical function of LED automatic lights. Reducing speed or stopping the vehicle is a response to specific road conditions or hazards, but it’s not related to how the vehicle’s headlights function to avoid dazzling other drivers.
