The vertical sign TS-62 of works in the road shown in the image indicates that due to the existence of a section of works on the track, two of the lanes will be diverted to the opposite roadway so that vehicles can continue to circulate without being affected by the works on the track.

Cargo vehicles of less than 3,500 kilograms of MMA, as in this case a 2,500 kg truck of less than 2 years old, will be exempted from passing the MOT inspection (ITV in Spain).
If it is between 2 and 6 years old, it will pass MOT inspection every 2 years, from 6 to 10 years old every year and from 10 years after its first registration every 6 months.

We should increase the security distance to the vehicle in front when this following vehicle comes too close. This is because in the event of him suddenly braking, we will have enough time to stop the vehicle and not crash with it.

Passenger cars without a trailer and motorcycles, when driving on roads out of town limits that are not motorways or dual carriageways (in other words, roads for automobiles and conventional highways), can’t exceed the general maximum speed in order to overtake on conventional roads.
This rule changed on 2022, previously you can exceed it in 20 km/hour but now it’s forbidden.

Braking distance is defined as the space covered by the vehicle from the moment you step on the brake until it comes to a complete stop. This distance depends on three factors: the load of the vehicle, since a heavier load means a longer stopping distance; the condition of the road and its traction; and the speed at which you are driving. Therefore, if you increase the speed at which you are driving, your braking distance will also increase.

On the urban roads of each municipality, it is the municipal government that determines, via their own norms and dictates from the local authorities, the specific rules on each of its roads for loading and unloading operations in vehicles dedicated to the transport of goods.

If a driver is pushing a moped on the shoulder he must travel on the right. If there is not shoulder or this is not enough, he must travel on the essential part of the roadway. Anyway he must travel on the right and never on the left.

Whenever you intend to overtake on urban roads or within town limits, the driver of the overtaking vehicle is always required to leave a safe lateral separation proportional to their speed and the width and characteristics of the road.

The telephone number 112 is established as a single number for citizen assistance in case of any type of emergency, including traffic accidents. It is a free and pre-set number.

Preventive driving allows the driver to drive with a safer attitude and is based on three basic principles:

• Vision
• Anticipation
• Space management.
Anticipation techniques, among others, allow us to react to obstacles in time to avoid risks and to adapt the speed of our vehicle to stop it in time.

In addition, vision techniques require the driver to look ahead to the area in which he will find himself in about 15 seconds.

The front fog light is an OPTIONAL light used to improve road visibility in case of fog, snowfall, storm or dust cloud.
The rear fog light should ONLY be worn when weather or environmental conditions are particularly unfavorable, such as heavy fog, heavy rain, heavy snowfall, or dense clouds of dust or smoke.
Since in this case the fog is not thick, it is only necessary to switch on the front fog light.

When we are tired our reaction time will increase, and the attention, perception and reaction capacity will decrease, taking longer to see and react to any potential danger.

When you are driving and foresee that the trip will be a long one, continuous driving will cause fatigue, and so it is necessary to make a 20 or 30 minute stop every two hours or at least every 200-300 kilometers.

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.

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.

A vehicle’s blind spot is the zone normally located around the rear sides of the car, where it is not possible to see using only the rear view mirrors, whether the outer mirrors or the interior one. In this blind spot, you won’t be able to see what is happening around you or what vehicles surround you, which is why you should be especially careful with this zone.

If due to an emergency or traffic necessity, your vehicle is stopped inside an underpass or tunnel, and you predict that you will be stopped for more than two minutes, you should turn off the vehicle’s engine and turn it back on when traffic starts moving again, while leaving the position lights and emergency signal on. You should not abandon the vehicle, neither the driver nor the passengers.

Tire pressure or its variation over time: Correct
The TPM (Tire Pressure Monitoring) system is designed to monitor and detect changes in tire pressure. It alerts the driver when there is a significant variation in the pressure of one or more tires, which could affect the vehicle’s safety, fuel efficiency, and handling. This system tracks tire pressure over time and helps prevent potential issues such as tire blowouts or poor performance due to under-inflation.
The blind spots of the vehicle: This refers to the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system, not TPM. BSM uses sensors or cameras to monitor areas beside and behind the vehicle where the driver may not have a clear view.
That the vehicle does not move when the vehicle remains parked on a slope: This function is related to a Hill Start Assist or Auto Hold system, not TPM. Hill Start Assist prevents the vehicle from rolling backward when starting from a stop on an incline.

The vehicle’s shock absorbers, along with the tires and brakes, are what ensure the correct stability of the vehicle and that it can stop safely. If the shock absorbers on your vehicle are in poor condition, this will directly affect the vehicle’s suspension system and it’s possible that your wheels will bounce back more than usual when you go over a bump or a pothole. When you notice this happening, you should go to a mechanic so they can replace your shock absorbers with new ones.

If the road we wish to join has an acceleration lane, the driver will join the road at an appropriate speed, taking into account the position and trajectory of the other road users, and giving way to them in a mandatory way, even stopping at the beginning of the acceleration lane if necessary.

The driver of a vehicle not involved in a road accident shall be obliged to stop as soon as possible and assist the victims of the accident. If assistance has already been arranged, he is not obliged to help them and must continue his journey and leave the scene so as not to obstruct traffic or hinder assistance measures.

It’s really important to maintain tyres in good condition to obtain effective braking. The parking brakes is normally used when the vehicle is already stopped. The clutch it’s useless to brake and use it without having braking enough before can be dangerous because the vehicle will slide with his own inertia.

It is mandatory to wear gloves when riding a motor cycle in order to protect yourself from inclement weather and to avoid scrapes and injuries when your hands hit the asphalt in case of a fall. Gloves should be worn in summer and temperate seasons as well, and the most commonly used material to make these gloves is leather.

All motor vehicles and mopeds that are driving between sunset and sunrise on well-lit urban or interurban roads, or any time of day in tunnels, underpasses and sections of road affected by the “tunnel” sign, must have their low-beam headlights turned on in addition to their position lights.

Article 57 of the Road Traffic Regulations tells us that in the absence of signs regulating the priority of passage of vehicles, the driver will be obliged to give way to vehicles approaching from his right, except in some cases such as roundabouts where those already on the road will have priority of passage over those intending to enter.

It controls the flow of fuel that is fed to the engine: Correct
The “Speed Limitation Devices” (SLI) are designed to limit the maximum speed of a vehicle. When the vehicle exceeds the speed set by the driver, the system intervenes by reducing the power sent to the engine. This is typically done by controlling the fuel flow to the engine, which slows down the vehicle and prevents it from going faster than the specified speed.
Stop the vehicle to avoid a possible accident: This is incorrect because SLI systems do not completely stop the vehicle. They only limit the speed by restricting engine power, but they do not bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
It only works when the vehicle is traveling below the perceived speed: This is incorrect because the SLI system is designed to activate when the vehicle exceeds the specified speed, not when it is below it.

Explanation:

The Intelligent Speed Assistant (ISA) is an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) designed to help drivers comply with speed limits and improve road safety.

• ISA does not automatically force the vehicle to a new speed limit but assists the driver in maintaining a specified speed.
• It detects speed limit signs using cameras and GPS data and alerts the driver if they are exceeding the speed limit.
• Some versions of ISA allow the vehicle to adjust its speed automatically, but the driver can always override it.

Why not the other options?

• B) Increase the speed of the vehicle when it detects that the driver is going very slowly. ❌

  • ISA does not work to increase speed if a driver is going slowly. It is designed to help drivers avoid exceeding speed limits, not to force them to drive faster.

• C) Detect speed limit signs and set the speed of the vehicle to that indicated on the sign, in any case. ❌

  • ISA does detect speed limit signs, but it does not automatically force the vehicle to follow the limit in all cases. The driver remains in control and can override the system if needed.

ISA is a safety feature aimed at reducing speeding-related accidents, ensuring drivers stay within legal speed limits while still allowing manual control. 🚗

Overtaking other vehicles entails a series of risks due to the fact that, in cases such as the one shown in the image, the vehicle doing the overtaking must use the lane for vehicles coming in the opposite direction, where oncoming vehicles could appear. In this case, the green vehicle being overtaken should reduce its speed in order to facilitate the white vehicle’s return to the right lane. This manoeuvre should be done as quickly as possible to avoid head-on collision with the vehicle coming in from the opposite direction.

Traffic regulations prohibit overtaking vehicles which are already overtaking others if you must invade the part of the roadway reserved for traffic in the opposite direction to do so. It is also prohibited to overtake vehicles that are already passing if they obstruct visibility in front such that you cannot overtake them safely.

Every driver of a vehicle behind another vehicle shall leave a free space between the two vehicles to allow it to stop, in case of sudden braking, without colliding with it, taking into account in particular the speed and the conditions of adhesion and braking.

In addition, since this is an interurban road, the separation that must be kept by any driver of a vehicle circulating behind another vehicle without signaling his intention to overtake must be such as to allow the one following him to overtake him safely, except in the case of cyclists circulating in a group.
