Using the horn may distract the driver being overtaken but will not prevent the overtaking; they may still accelerate to complete the manoeuvre. Obstructing an overtaking vehicle includes actions such as accelerating, steering toward the overtaking vehicle, blocking the lane, or any other behaviour intended to prevent another driver from passing. RTR 138. The driver of a vehicle being overtaken must not obstruct drivers who wish to pass by speeding up or by any other action. RTR 136. Drivers are advised to avoid unnecessary overtaking manoeuvres. Before overtaking, drivers must take extra precautions and ensure that: 136.1. no driver behind them has already begun to overtake; 136.2. the driver of the vehicle to be overtaken is not signalling a left turn; 136.3. the section of lane required for overtaking is clear and the manoeuvre will not obstruct oncoming vehicles or pedestrians on the carriageway; 136.4. a safe distance from the vehicle being overtaken can be maintained during the overtaking; 136.5. after the overtaking manoeuvre they will be able to return to the same traffic lane safely without obstructing the overtaken vehicle. JB

If a road accident results only in property damage and the owner of the damaged property is not present at the scene and cannot be contacted, the road user involved must immediately notify the owner or, if that is not possible, report the accident to the police. XXIX. Obligations of Road Users in the Event of a Road Accident (paras. 219–222) 219. In the event of a road accident, every driver involved or any other road user must: 219.1. stop immediately without creating further danger to other road users and mark the accident scene as required by subparagraph 91.2 and paragraph 92 of these Rules; 219.2. take all possible measures to ensure safety at the scene, and if the police are called, avoid (without endangering traffic) altering the circumstances of the accident and preserve the traces and evidence of the collision; 219.3. at the request of other road users involved, present a valid identity document or driving licence and a certificate (policy) of compulsory motor third-party liability insurance to identify the insurer; 219.4. if a person has been injured or has died in the accident, report the accident to the police and remain at the scene, or after notifying the police return and wait for them, except where the police permit departure or where the casualties or the person reporting the accident require immediate first aid; 219.5. take all necessary measures to provide first aid to the casualties, call an ambulance or, if calling an ambulance or transporting casualties to a medical facility by other means is impossible, carry them to the nearest medical facility in a private vehicle unless such transport would endanger their life or health. 222. If a road accident causes only property damage and the victim is not present at the scene, the road user involved must immediately notify the victim or, if that is not possible, the police.

RTR 40. An organised group of children consisting of persons under the age of 16 must be accompanied by at least two accompanying persons. Such a group should use pavements, footpaths or combined footpaths and cycle tracks (on the pedestrian side) if available; if these are not available, the group may use the hard shoulder but only in daylight, with good visibility, in no more than two abreast and against the flow of traffic when it is safe to do so. Accompanying persons must be positioned at the front and the rear of the column and wear high-visibility vests. It is recommended that all children in the organised group who walk along the hard shoulder also wear high-visibility vests.

He is allowed because the driver of the green vehicle must complete the overtaking maneuver. RTR Annex 3.1.10: A double line composed of two narrow parallel lines — one solid and one broken — separates traffic moving in opposite directions or in the same direction on road sections where lane changing is permitted only from one lane. It also marks locations for U-turns and the entrances and exits of parking areas where travel is allowed in only one direction. Drivers may cross this line from the side of the broken line, and they may also cross it from the side of the solid line only when finishing an overtaking or passing maneuver.

If a vehicle is left in gear and begins to roll downhill, certain older diesel engines may rotate and start automatically.

Causes of premature clutch wear include an improperly adjusted clutch release mechanism, loose clutch mounting screws, weakened clutch springs, or a worn gearbox primary shaft.

There are no lane direction signs; therefore the driver of the red vehicle may go straight or turn right. When changing lanes, the driver of the green vehicle must yield. RTR 104. When changing lanes, a driver must yield to vehicles moving in the same direction in the adjacent lane. If vehicles moving in the same direction change lanes simultaneously, a driver must yield to the vehicle on the right, except in the cases specified in Paragraph 112 of the Rules. RTR 112. If an acceleration lane is provided for entering the road, the driver must use that lane and merge into the main traffic flow (change lanes and move into the adjacent lane), yielding to vehicles already in that flow or to vehicles changing lanes toward the deceleration lane. RTR 106. Before turning right, left, or making a U-turn (except when entering an intersection with circular traffic), a driver must move in advance to the edge of the carriageway designated for that direction. Road signs and/or road markings may indicate otherwise.

RTR VIII. Rules for Cyclists 64. Cyclists must not: 64.1 Ride on the carriageway except in cases expressly permitted by these Rules. 64.2 Ride on motorways and expressways. 64.3 Ride without holding the handlebars with their hands. 64.4 Carry passengers if the bicycle is not fitted with a designated passenger seat. 64.5 Carry, tow, or push loads that impede control of the bicycle or pose a hazard to other road users. 64.6 Be towed by other vehicles. 64.7 Tow other vehicles, except for trailers specially designed for bicycles. 64.8 Hold on to a moving vehicle while cycling. 64.9 Cross the carriageway by riding over a pedestrian crossing. JB

Only the driver may be exempt from wearing a seat belt within built-up or residential areas (for example, when maneuvering in a parking lot). RTR 196. All drivers and passengers must wear seat belts when travelling in vehicles equipped with them. If a bus is fitted with seat belts, visible informational signs reading "Fasten Your Seat Belt" must be displayed in front of, on, or next to every seat. It is recommended that all bus passengers be informed of the seat belt requirement verbally or by audiovisual means before the journey begins. RTR 198. Persons driving a vehicle in reverse or manoeuvring in a parking area within a built-up area are exempt from wearing seat belts. RTR 205. Persons who, for serious medical reasons, hold special permits issued by competent authorities are exempt from wearing seat belts; these permits must include an expiry date. JB

If the stopping distance is longer than the visible portion of the road, you may collide with an obstacle. Therefore, the distance visible ahead must always exceed the stopping distance.

The worst visibility at night occurs just before passing an oncoming vehicle because the oncoming headlights can dazzle the driver. When approximately 100 m remain before meeting an oncoming vehicle, the driver should reduce speed, keep as close as safely possible to the right edge of the carriageway, and look toward the kerb. These actions reduce glare and help the driver detect pedestrians, cyclists, people operating animal‑drawn vehicles, and other hazards more quickly. Specifically, drivers should: reduce speed to increase reaction time; position the vehicle near the right edge of the road to minimise the risk of head‑on conflicts and to allow space for unexpected events; and avoid looking directly at oncoming headlights, instead focusing toward the kerb or road edge to preserve night vision.

An anti-lock braking system (ABS) prevents wheel lockup during heavy braking, helping to maintain tire traction and steering control—especially on slippery surfaces. When wheels lock, the vehicle can skid and the driver may lose the ability to steer. ABS modulates brake pressure to preserve grip and directional stability.

Law on Road Traffic Safety, Art. 2, para. 11. "Bicycle path" — a road or part of a road intended for the movement of bicycles, motorcycles and electric micromobility vehicles, marked with appropriate road signs. A bicycle path must be separated from the roadway or its lanes by engineering measures.

The stopping distance increases when towing a trailer downhill because the trailer’s mass pushes the towing vehicle forward, adding momentum. Conversely, when driving uphill the trailer’s weight helps slow the vehicle and reduces the stopping distance.

Drivers with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) exceeding 1.5 per mille are subject to a fine, arrest, or imprisonment for up to one year (since 01/01/2017). Drink-driving may give rise to both criminal and administrative liability. The applicable type of liability depends on the specific circumstances and the seriousness of the offence: - Administrative liability: applies when the offences are of lesser severity. - Criminal liability: applies when the offence is particularly serious or when driving endangers road safety, or the health or life of others. Code of Administrative Offences of the Republic of Lithuania, Article 420(2): Reckless driving, i.e. a violation of the Road Traffic Rules that endangers road safety or the safety of oneself or others for hooligan motives, incurs a fine ranging from EUR 450 to EUR 550 for drivers and from EUR 750 to EUR 1,000 for persons not entitled to drive vehicles. Code of Administrative Offences of the Republic of Lithuania, Article 420(4): The acts referred to in paragraph 2 committed by an intoxicated person (mild intoxication: more than 0.4 per mille but not exceeding 1.5 per mille), by a person under the influence of drugs, psychotropic or other psychoactive substances, by a person who avoided performing a field sobriety test, or by a person who consumed alcohol, drugs, psychotropic or other psychoactive substances before the test, shall incur a fine ranging from EUR 850 to EUR 1,200 for drivers. Criminal Code of the Republic of Lithuania, Article 281(7): Persons who drive a road vehicle or instruct a learner driver while under the influence of alcohol with a BAC exceeding 1.5 per mille shall be punished by a fine, arrest, or imprisonment for up to one year.

RTR 81. Warning signals include: using turn and brake lights (arm signals may be used), sounding the horn, switching the headlights on and off, activating hazard warning lights or flashing amber beacons, and placing a warning triangle on the road or attaching it to the vehicle.

When engine oil is low, internal components receive less lubrication, causing increased wear and overheating; this accelerates deterioration and can lead to engine failure.

The white car goes first because it has no vehicle on its right. It does not need to stop in the middle of the intersection because the green car, which is turning left, does not obstruct it. Next, the red car proceeds because the white car is no longer to its right. Finally, the green car goes. The white and green cars cannot go at the same time because the green car must yield to the red car on its right. (RTR 155) At an uncontrolled intersection, drivers must yield to vehicles approaching from the right when their paths intersect.

RTR 3.7. 'Road' means the surface of a strip of ground or a superstructure intended for, and used by, road traffic across its full width; this includes the carriageway, intersections, pavements, roadsides, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and dividing strips. RTR 3.8. 'Shoulder' means a road area adjacent to the carriageway (from the carriageway edge to the roadbed edge) that is paved with the same or different material as the carriageway and/or separated from the carriageway by an edge line, but is not regarded as a pavement or as a pedestrian or bicycle track. JB

Alcohol levels in the human body are measured using a breathalyser.

Regulation RTR 67 — Only persons aged 14 or older may drive an animal-drawn vehicle, herd animals or birds, or ride an animal on the road.

The driver's reaction time is delayed by illness, fatigue, or the influence of alcohol or drugs. Distraction and poor concentration while driving also lengthen reaction time, and reaction speed typically decreases with age. RTR 14. Driving is prohibited if you are not authorized to operate the vehicle, or if you are intoxicated or under the influence of narcotic, psychotropic or other psychoactive substances. A person who is tired or ill must not drive if doing so could endanger road safety. A vehicle must not be entrusted to anyone affected by these factors or without the required authorization for that vehicle type. When operating a vehicle, the driver must comply with the requirements shown on their driving licence.

Underinflated tires are the most common factor directly affecting fuel consumption; incorrect tire pressure can increase consumption by up to about 4%—both too little and too much pressure can have an effect. Check tire pressure when the tires are cold, because driving warms the rubber and raises the pressure. Carrying luggage on the roof increases aerodynamic drag and therefore fuel consumption. Frequent stop-and-go driving also increases fuel use. JB

RTR 5. Road users must be familiar with the Law on Road Traffic Safety of the Republic of Lithuania, be acquainted with these Rules, and comply with them. JB

Driving licences issued in Lithuania, in other EU Member States, and in certain other countries are recognised in Lithuania. This question, however, asks whether a person may drive in Lithuania without a valid driving licence (including one issued abroad). The correct answer is “No”. LAW ON ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY — Article 13(1): Persons who do not have the right to drive a motor vehicle, tractor, or self-propelled work machine; who are intoxicated; who are under the influence of narcotic, psychotropic or other psychoactive substances; or who have not taken the legally required daily rest must not drive. In addition, a person who is fatigued or ill must not drive if doing so could endanger road safety. A vehicle must not be entrusted to a person affected by any of the factors listed above or who is not authorised to drive that type of vehicle.

Difference between active and passive safety: - Active safety: systems and features that help prevent accidents by improving vehicle control, handling and stability before a collision occurs. These measures operate before an impact and commonly include technologies such as Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), traction control, correct tyre pressure and adequate tread depth, among others. Active safety also depends on the driver’s condition and behavior — for example, poor ventilation or heating can cause drowsiness or nausea and reduce attention on the road. - Passive safety: systems and equipment designed to reduce injury and damage during or after a collision. These features are activated in a crash to protect occupants and other road users and include seat belts, airbags, motorcycle helmets, seat-belt reminders, head restraints, crumple zones and other structural or restraint systems that absorb impact and lower the risk of injury.

Drivers of special (emergency) vehicles — such as ambulances, police, and fire service vehicles — may use blue and red (or only blue) flashing lights and special audible signals when necessary to: (1) save human life or health; (2) protect property; (3) ensure public order and traffic safety; (4) apprehend persons suspected of offences; or (5) escort or accompany official delegates and protected persons. Flashing lights must be visible in all directions (360°). While using these signals, drivers of special vehicles may disregard certain traffic rules specified in the Regulations, provided they do not jeopardize traffic safety and only after ensuring that other road users are giving way. They must drive cautiously and avoid creating danger to other road users. Other road users are required to give way immediately to such vehicles so they can pass safely and quickly. The right of way also applies to drivers of vehicles being escorted by special vehicles.

RTR 86. Warning signals must be given sufficiently in advance of a manoeuvre (including any braking related to it) and must be discontinued immediately after the manoeuvre is completed (hand signals may be stopped just before the manoeuvre). A signal must be given so that it does not mislead other road users. Turn signals are not used when entering a roundabout.

RTR 112. When an acceleration lane is provided for entering a roadway, the driver must use it to gain speed and merge into the main traffic flow, yielding to vehicles already on the road. The driver may change lanes as necessary or enter a deceleration lane when appropriate. JB
