Lights-Signals Exam 2

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.

Drivers of vehicles shall always be obliged to warn other road users when they intend to make a lateral or reverse movement with their vehicle. These optical warnings may be made with the direction indicator light on each side or with the driver’s left arm.

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.

Vehicles to continue traveling: Correct
When a police officer blows a long blast of the whistle, it signals vehicles to continue traveling. This long whistle blast indicates that vehicles can resume their movement after stopping or slowing down.
Vehicles to reduce speed: This is incorrect because a long blast of the whistle does not specifically signal drivers to slow down. Instead, it’s typically a signal for vehicles to keep moving.
Vehicles to stop: This is also incorrect. A long blast of the whistle does not indicate for vehicles to stop. Instead, multiple short, sharp whistle blasts or specific hand signals are used to direct vehicles to halt.

Whenever you want to warn of your intention to perform a manoeuvre, you can use acoustic, light or arm signals to warn other road users, provided the signals can be seen by the others. Signals made with the arm will prevail over acoustic and light signals, and will override any contradictory optical signal. Therefore, in this case, despite the turn signal light being turned on, the arm signal will be the one that prevails.

The vertical obligation sign R-413 shown in the image requires all drivers to turn on at least their low- beam headlights, regardless of the conditions of visibility and lighting on the road, from the point where the sign is located until you encounter an end of obligation sign.

The full-beam lights or road lighting shall be replaced by low-beam or dipped-beam lighting as soon as the possibility of glare other users of the same road or any other road, and especially the drivers of oncoming vehicles, is detected, even if they do not comply with this requirement, and the road lighting shall not be restored until the position of the crossed vehicle at the crossing is exceeded.

Obey the stop sign: Correct
The stop sign is a regulatory sign that mandates a driver to stop fully and follow specific rules before proceeding.
Mandatory Full Stop: At a stop sign, drivers must bring their vehicle to a complete stop, regardless of whether there is visible traffic or pedestrians. This ensures all drivers comply with the law.
Safety and Compliance: The stop sign requires adherence to both stopping and yielding. Obeying it means stopping at the designated stop line and giving way to other road users if required.
Give way without driving beyond the stop line: It is incorrect because it doesn’t explicitly state the need to stop completely, which is a legal requirement at a stop sign.
Give way and, if necessary, stop: It is incorrect because it suggests stopping is conditional, whereas at a stop sign, stopping is always mandatory.

سٹاپ سائن کی پابندی کریں: درست
سٹاپ سائن ایک لازمی نشان ہے جو ڈرائیور کو مکمل طور پر رکنے اور آگے بڑھنے سے پہلے مخصوص قوانین کی پیروی کرنے کا حکم دیتا ہے۔
لازمی مکمل رکنا: سٹاپ سائن پر ڈرائیورز کو اپنی گاڑی مکمل طور پر روکنی ہوتی ہے، چاہے وہاں ٹریفک یا پیدل چلنے والے نظر آ رہے ہوں یا نہ ہوں۔ یہ اس بات کو یقینی بناتا ہے کہ تمام ڈرائیور قانون کی پابندی کریں۔
محفوظ طریقے سے عمل کرنا: سٹاپ سائن پر رکنا اور راستہ دینا دونوں ضروری ہیں۔ اس کی پابندی کا مطلب ہے کہ مقررہ لائن پر رکیں اور اگر ضرورت ہو تو دیگر سڑک استعمال کرنے والوں کو راستہ دیں۔
بغیر سٹاپ لائن کے آگے بڑھے راستہ دینا: یہ غلط ہے کیونکہ یہ مکمل طور پر رکنے کی ضرورت کو واضح نہیں کرتا، جو سٹاپ سائن پر ایک قانونی تقاضا ہے۔
راستہ دینا اور اگر ضرورت ہو تو رکنا: یہ غلط ہے کیونکہ یہ رکنے کو مشروط ظاہر کرتا ہے، جبکہ سٹاپ سائن پر رکنا ہمیشہ لازمی ہوتا ہے۔

The high-beam headlights on, provided they do not blind other users: Correct
When driving at night on an insufficiently lit road and traveling over 40 km/h, it’s recommended to use high-beam headlights. This is because high beams provide better visibility, which is necessary for driving safely on poorly lit roads. However, they should be used with caution to avoid blinding other road users.
Any lighting in the front of the vehicle: This is incorrect. Simply having any lighting at the front of the vehicle is not sufficient. You need specific lights, such as high-beam or low-beam headlights, to ensure proper visibility and safety.
The low-beam headlights on: This is incorrect in this specific scenario. Low beams are generally used for city driving or when you’re close to other vehicles to avoid blinding them. However, on poorly lit roads at speeds over 40 km/h, high beams are more appropriate for maximum visibility.

If, due to a malfunction of the appropriate lights while driving, you are forced to drive with lower intensity lighting, you are permitted to drive at night in these conditions provided to adjust your speed so that you can stop the vehicle within the illuminated distance.

Dipped or low beam headlight: If we drive at night, they should always be used on all roads, while if we drive during the day, they should be used on all types of roads when driving in fog, heavy rain, snowfall or clouds of dust or smoke.
They must be used at all times in tunnels, reversible lanes, additional lanes and lanes designed for driving in the opposite direction.

The rotating yellow light on special vehicles only signals their situation, but it does not give them special priority over other drivers on the road.

It is important to remember that if entering traffic from the left, use the right direction indicator or the left arm bent with the palm of the hand upwards, while if entering traffic from the right, use the left indicator and the arm extended with the palm of the hand downwards. In this case the driver is correctly indicating his intention to enter traffic from the right by using the left direction indicator.

Yes: Correct
On a cross-town road with insufficient lighting, it is necessary to keep the low-beam headlights on. Low-beam headlights are designed to provide adequate illumination without blinding other drivers, making them suitable for roads with limited lighting. Using low-beam headlights helps ensure that you can see the road ahead while not creating a hazard for other road users, especially in dark or poorly lit areas.
No, low-beam headlights should only be used on well-lit cross-town roads: This is incorrect because low-beam headlights are specifically meant for low visibility situations, such as roads with insufficient lighting. They are not limited to well-lit roads.
No, you should use high-beam lights: This is incorrect because high-beam headlights are too bright for poorly lit or populated areas and can blind oncoming drivers or other road users.

Stop before entering the junction: Correct
If there is a stop sign or a red traffic light at the junction, you are required to stop before entering, regardless of your intention to turn right. In such cases, stopping is mandatory to ensure safety and to comply with traffic regulations. If the traffic signals or road signs indicate that you must stop before proceeding (such as a stop sign or red light), then you must stop before entering the junction.
Make the turn following general right of way rules: This option is generally correct in most situations, but not always. In normal cases, when there are no stop signs or signals, you would make the turn while following the right of way rules. However, if there is a stop sign or red traffic light, you must stop before entering the junction, even if you are turning right.
Keep going, as the traffic light is after the junction: This is incorrect because you are required to obey the traffic control devices at the junction itself, such as a stop sign or red light, regardless of the position of a traffic light beyond the junction.

Sufficiently in advance of starting the manoeuvre and while it is being performed: Correct
Turn signal lights should be used both before starting and during the lateral movement (e.g., lane change or turning). Using the turn signals in advance allows other drivers and road users to anticipate your intentions, improving safety and traffic flow. Continuing to signal while the manoeuvre is being performed ensures that other drivers are aware of your ongoing movement.
Just to start the manoeuvre: This is incorrect because signaling only at the beginning of the movement does not provide enough time for other road users to react, especially if they are in close proximity or need to make decisions based on your actions.
Only if the driver deems it necessary: This is incorrect because signaling is not optional; it is a legal requirement in most places and essential for road safety.

حرکت شروع کرنے سے مناسب وقت پہلے اور حرکت کے دوران بھی: درست
موڑ یا لین تبدیل کرتے وقت اشارہ دینے کا عمل شروع کرنے سے پہلے اور دوران دونوں کرنا ضروری ہے۔ اشارہ دینے سے دوسرے ڈرائیورز اور سڑک پر موجود افراد کو آپ کے ارادے کا اندازہ ہوتا ہے، جس سے حفاظت اور ٹریفک کی روانی میں بہتری آتی ہے۔ حرکت کے دوران اشارہ دینے سے یہ یقین دہانی ہوتی ہے کہ دوسرے ڈرائیورز آپ کی جاری حرکت سے آگاہ ہیں۔
صرف حرکت شروع کرنے پر اشارہ دینا: یہ غلط ہے کیونکہ صرف حرکت شروع کرنے پر اشارہ دینا کافی نہیں ہے کیونکہ اس سے دوسرے سڑک استعمال کرنے والوں کو آپ کی حرکت کا اندازہ لگانے کا کم وقت ملتا ہے، خاص طور پر جب وہ قریب ہوں یا ان کو آپ کی حرکت پر فیصلہ کرنا ہو۔
صرف اگر ڈرائیور ضروری سمجھے: یہ غلط ہے کیونکہ اشارہ دینا اختیاری نہیں ہوتا؛ یہ بیشتر جگہوں پر قانونی ضرورت ہے اور سڑک پر حفاظت کے لیے ضروری ہے۔

The mopeds will be able to travel on intercity roads by driving on the hard shoulder on their right, if it is passable and sufficient, and, if it is not or does not exist as in the case of the image, they will drive on the right occupying the essential part of the road.

The load protruding from the front of a vehicle shall not be marked during daylight hours, but shall be marked at night or in poor visibility hours, with a white light and a white reflective panel that shall be placed on the protruding part.

When you are driving on a road in your vehicle and you encounter a section of road affected by fog, you should turn on the front fog lights or the low-beam or high-beam headlights. If the vehicle doesn’t have front fog lights, it is obligatory to turn on at least the position lights along with the low- or high- beam lights.

General traffic regulations state that, if there is glare from the lights of a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction as you, the driver blinded by the glare should reduce their speed as much as necessary, even coming to a stop, to avoid hitting vehicles or pedestrians in front of them.

عمومی ٹریفک کے قوانین کے مطابق، اگر سامنے آنے والی گاڑی کی روشنی سے چمک ہو رہی ہو اور آپ اندھے ہو جائیں، تو آپ کو اپنی رفتار اتنی کم کرنی چاہیے کہ ضرورت پڑنے پر رک بھی جائیں، تاکہ آپ سامنے کی گاڑیوں یا پیدل چلنے والوں سے ٹکرانے سے بچ سکیں۔

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.

Whenever we want to warn of our intention to perform a manoeuvre, we may use acoustic signals and arm signals to warn other road users of the manoeuvre, as long as they are perceptible to other road users. The latter, made with the arm, shall prevail over the acoustic and light signals, and shall override any other contrary optical signal.

جب بھی ہم اپنے ارادے کو ظاہر کرنے کے لیے کسی حرکت کا اشارہ دینا چاہیں، ہم دوسرے راستہ استعمال کرنے والوں کو اس حرکت سے آگاہ کرنے کے لیے آواز اور ہاتھ کے اشارے استعمال کر سکتے ہیں، بشرطیکہ یہ اشارے دوسرے راستہ استعمال کرنے والوں کے لیے قابلِ شناخت ہوں۔ ہاتھ سے کیے گئے اشارے آواز اور لائٹ سگنل پر فوقیت رکھتے ہیں اور کسی بھی متضاد بصری اشارے کو نظرانداز کرتے ہیں۔

The periodic review of the correct operation, adjustment and condition of the lighting system of a vehicle will be absolutely necessary as part of the preventive maintenance that we must do in our vehicle, and we will always check if the headlights illuminate in the right direction and with the correct intensity.

All motor vehicles and mopeds driving between sunset and sunrise on urban roads or well-lit interurban roads, or at anytime of day in well-lit tunnels, underpasses and sections of road affected by the “tunnel” sign (S-5), must turn on, in addition to the position lights, the low-beam or dipped headlights.

According to the Road Traffic Regulations, motorcycles operating on urban or interurban public roads are required to have their short-circuit or crossing lights turned on during the day. These lights are designed to illuminate the road in front of the motorcycle without blinding or distracting oncoming drivers.

Traffic officers may immobilize our vehicle when the vehicle exceeds the gas, smoke and noise levels legally permitted for each type of vehicle. They may also immobilise it for other reasons, such as when the vehicle is over-occupied or when it is felt that the vehicle’s control instruments have been tampered with.

Vehicles shall be fitted with a device for illuminating the registration plate which, without being dazzling to other road users, makes it possible to read its inscriptions at night, at a distance of at least 50 meters.
The license plate must be illuminated at night-time.

The interior lighting is designed to light the vehicle’s cabin in a way that does not cause glare or bother other road users. The light should be white, and it is not recommended to use it when driving at night because the contrast of the light inside the vehicle and the darkness outside can distort your vision and be very dangerous for driving.

Within town limits, as shown in the image, vehicle drivers are strictly forbidden from using acoustic signals, such as horns, to indicate their intention to overtake other vehicles. The use of such signals in urban areas is permitted only when necessary to prevent a potential accident, particularly on narrow or winding roads.
