There is a minimum age requirement to operate a motorized bicycle, but no driving test or driving licence is required. LAW ON ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY I 2. 40. Motorized bicycle - a vehicle with at least two wheels that is propelled by the rider's muscular effort using pedals or handlebars and equipped with an auxiliary internal combustion engine or electric motor with a maximum net power not exceeding 1 kW and a maximum design speed not exceeding 25 km/h. The auxiliary engine ceases to provide power when the vehicle reaches 25 km/h. Wheelchairs for persons with disabilities are not classified as motorized bicycles. RTR 55. Persons older than 14 are permitted to ride bicycles on the carriageway; if they have completed the training course established by the Ministry of Education, Science, and Sport of the Republic of Lithuania and hold a certificate issued by the school, the minimum age is 12. Persons over 8 may ride bicycles on the carriageway under adult supervision. No age limit is established for cyclists within a residential area. RTR 66. Drivers of motorized bicycles must also comply with the rules and requirements applicable to cyclists.

Technical requirements for vehicles operated on a road, Chapter IV, Paragraph 22: If fog lamps are fitted, they must only be capable of being switched on and off using an appropriate switch when the position lamps are switched on. Additionally, fog lamps must be capable of being switched off independently of any other lights.

128. If there is an obstruction or traffic safety is endangered, the driver must reduce speed, stop if necessary, or avoid the obstruction (if it can be detected) without creating danger for other road users. 135. Drivers must not: 135.4. decelerate abruptly except for safety reasons.

48. A trailer is a vehicle designed to be towed by a motor vehicle. Semi-trailers are also regarded as trailers. 52. A semi-trailer is a trailer coupled to a motor vehicle in such a way that part of its weight and the weight of its load are borne by the motor vehicle.

RTR 136. Drivers should avoid unnecessary overtaking maneuvers. Before overtaking, drivers must take extra precautions and ensure that: 136.1 no driver following has already begun to overtake them; 136.2 the driver of the vehicle to be overtaken is not signaling a left turn; 136.3 the portion of the lane required for overtaking is clear and the maneuver will not obstruct oncoming traffic or pedestrians on the carriageway; 136.4 a safe distance from the vehicle being overtaken will be maintained throughout the maneuver; 136.5 after overtaking, the driver can safely return to the original lane without obstructing the overtaken vehicle.

RTR 203. A driver must ensure that children transported in a motor vehicle use the appropriate installed and correctly fitted restraint systems. JB

Driving across a level crossing where the traffic lights are switched off and the barrier is raised or absent is permitted, but only if you obey traffic regulations and ensure that no train is approaching. 168. Before entering and crossing a level crossing, a road user must comply with road signs, road markings, the position of the barrier, traffic lights, audible warnings, and the signals given by level crossing attendants/controllers. Before entering a level crossing, a road user must always verify that no rail-borne vehicle is approaching the level crossing. It is recommended that children under 12 be accompanied when crossing a level crossing. 173. Drivers must not: 173.3. enter a level crossing after the barrier has been lowered or has begun to be lowered, willfully lift the barrier or manoeuvre around the barriers;

The order no. 1V-328 of the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania in 2008 September 10  "On Approval of the Rules for Issuing Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" ch. II. p. 7: 7. A new driver's license is issued when: 7.1. the previous driver's license expires or has already expired; 7.2. the previous driver's license was lost (lost, stolen, etc.); 7.3. the driver's license is worn or damaged; 7.4. the data entered in the driver's license has changed; 7.5. the driver's state of health has changed; 7.6. the applicant wishes to obtain a driver's license to drive motor vehicles of another category(ies) or seeks to acquire the right to drive motor vehicles for the first time; 7.7. the applicant wishes to change the driver's license of the old model to a new model; 7.8. the applicant wishes to obtain a driver's license instead of one issued in another state; 7.9. the applicant wishes to receive a driver's license instead of a destroyed one. SEAK Art. 22 4. Driver's licenses are issued for a period of no longer than 10 years, and the right to drive C1, C1E, C, CE, D1, D1E, D, DE category vehicles is valid for no longer than 5 years from the date of issuance of the driver's license. SEAK Art. 22 5. Novice drivers are issued with a driver's license valid for 3 years, which they will have the right to change to a driver's license valid for 10 years after 2 years from the date of its issuance, in accordance with the procedure established by the Minister of the Interior or his authorized institution, without completing additional driver's training, if within 2 years from on the day of issuance of the issued driver's license did not violate the requirement(s) of the KET, for which additional driver training is provided for in this law, or did not cause a traffic accident that impaired the health of the road user (except for cases where the traffic accident was caused under circumstances that eliminate criminal liability or circumstances when a person is not brought to administrative responsibility). A driver who, as a novice driver, violated the KET requirement(s) for which additional driver training is provided for in this law, or caused a traffic accident that impaired the health of a road user (except for cases where the traffic accident was caused by criminal liability extenuating circumstances or circumstances where the person is not held administratively responsible), additional driver training must be completed within one year from the date of entry into force of the resolution (court verdict) by which the person was recognized as having committed a violation of the law or from the date of execution of the administrative order issued after committing an administrative offense. In cases where a court verdict or criminal order imposes an arrest or a term of imprisonment and the execution of the imposed sentence is not postponed, the additional training of drivers must be completed within one year of the execution of the imposed sentence. JB

RTR 174. On roads designated as Motorway or Motor Vehicle Road the following are prohibited: 174.2 standing or parking except in designated parking areas; RTR Annex 3 1.2. A BROAD CONTINUOUS LINE marks the edge of the carriageway and the boundaries of sections where entry is prohibited on motorways and highways; it separates traffic lanes reserved for public-service vehicles and delineates lanes from bus stops. Vehicles must not cross this line unless it marks the edge of the carriageway. JB

RTR 38. Persons moving in a wheelchair, or guiding a motorcycle, moped, bicycle, motorised two‑wheeled vehicle, electric micromobility device, or pulling (pushing) a sledge or handcart along the shoulder or edge of the carriageway must proceed in single file and only in the direction of traffic. RTR 64. Cyclists must not: 64.1. ride on the carriageway, except in cases permitted by the Rules. RTR 57. Bicycles may be ridden only on cycle tracks, combined footpath/cycle tracks, or cycle lanes; if none of these are available, bicycles may be ridden on a suitable hard shoulder (with asphalt or concrete surfacing). When a right‑side cycle track, combined footpath/cycle track, cycle lane, or suitable hard shoulder is not available or is unsuitable for cycling (for example, pitted), cyclists may use the pavement or ride in single file on the right‑hand lane of the carriageway, keeping to the right edge of the lane, except in the cases specified in paragraph 106 of these Rules and except when cyclists must bypass an obstruction or continue straight where turning right from the first lane is the only permitted manoeuvre. When riding on a hard shoulder, footpath, cycle track, or pavement, a cyclist must yield to pedestrians, must not obstruct or endanger them, and should pass pedestrians at a speed close to walking pace (3–7 km/h), leaving sufficient lateral clearance to ensure safety.

RTR 107. If, because of large dimensions or other reasons, a vehicle cannot turn (or make a U‑turn) from the edge position, it may execute the turn from a location other than the lane edge designated for travel in that direction, provided the manoeuvre does not obstruct other vehicles or create hazards for other road users.

Heavy rain forms a layer of water on the asphalt surface (especially where longitudinal ruts are pressed), which is not able to drain so quickly to the side of the road. If we drive fast in such conditions, the tire tread can't squeeze the layer of water formed on the road from under the wheel and the so-called aquaplaning (water wedge) begins. In other words, the car's wheels no longer touch or have a worse grip on the asphalt surface and the car can become out of control. JB

In this situation, the 'No Entry' sign applies to the lane and is not limited solely to public-service vehicles. Therefore, if the electric vehicle driver intends to continue straight ahead, they must change lanes and move into a lane that permits driving straight. Legal basis: RTR 181 — Non-public-service vehicles must not drive in lanes marked 'Lane Reserved for Public Service Vehicles' and the letter 'A'. 1811 — Non-public-service vehicles must not drive in lanes marked 'A+' except for the following: 1811.1 bicycles, electric micromobility devices, mopeds, and light quadricycles; 1811.2 vehicles marked with the distinguishing sign 'A person with a disability' or displaying a parking card that transport a person with a disability to/from an educational institution or a day-care centre for people with disabilities if the route is agreed with the road owner according to the established procedure; 1811.3 taxis if the lane reads 'TAXI'; 1811.4 cars carrying four or more road users if the lane is marked with the symbol '4+'; 1811.5 electric vehicles if the lane is marked with an electric vehicle symbol; 1811.6 motorcycles if the lane is marked with a motorcycle symbol. RTR Annex 1. 301 — Road sign 'No Entry': Entry is prohibited for all vehicles except public-service vehicles.

Drivers should check that all vehicle lights are working before every long journey and at least once every six months. Properly functioning lights help you assess road conditions accurately and reduce the risk of accidents.

Vehicle documents should not be left in the vehicle, as they can be readily used by thieves. Valuable items must not be left in plain view inside the vehicle because they may attract opportunistic burglaries. Leaving liquids, such as soft drinks, inside the vehicle does not compromise its safety. (RTR 147) A driver may leave the vehicle unattended only after ensuring it cannot move on its own and that unauthorised use is prevented.

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.

The field of vision is affected by driving speed, visual acuity (e.g., short-sightedness), fatigue, the color and brightness of objects, their contrast with the background, and other factors. As speed increases, a driver’s area of attention narrows and shifts forward: although drivers tend to look farther ahead, the effective dimensions of attention decrease inversely with speed. For example, at 50 km/h it is usually sufficient to focus about 150 m ahead to detect an obstacle; at 140 km/h an oncoming vehicle may not be noticed until it is only 15–20 m from the point of passing.

A driving licence of categories B and BE entitles the holder to drive a passenger car (RTR 14). It is prohibited to operate a vehicle if you do not have the legal right to do so, or if you are under the influence of alcohol, narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, or other psychoactive substances. A person who is fatigued or ill must not drive if driving could endanger road safety. A vehicle must not be entrusted to anyone who is under the influence of the aforementioned factors or who is not authorized to drive that type of vehicle. When operating a vehicle, the driver must comply with the restrictions and endorsements indicated on the driving licence.

RTR 131. The following speed limits apply outside built-up areas: 131.1. For passenger cars, goods vehicles with a maximum permissible mass up to 3.5 tonnes, motorcycles and tricycles the maximum permitted speeds are: on motorways — 130 km/h from April to October and 110 km/h from November to March; on highways — 120 km/h from April to October and 110 km/h from November to March; 90 km/h on roads with asphalt or concrete pavement; and 70 km/h on other roads. JB

RTR 12. Road users must immediately yield to approaching emergency vehicles that display blue and red (or only blue) flashing lights and use special audible signals, as well as to vehicles escorted by them. Road users shall form an emergency corridor as follows: 12.1 On a road with a single lane in one direction, drivers must stop on the right hard shoulder if one exists; if there is no hard shoulder, they must stop as close as possible to the right edge of the carriageway. 12.2 On a road with two or more lanes in the same direction, vehicles in the far-left lane must move and stop as close as possible to the left edge of the carriageway designated for that direction, while vehicles in the lanes to the right must move and stop as close as possible to the right edge of the carriageway (or the hard shoulder). 12.3 On a road with a central reservation, only drivers travelling in the same direction must comply with the requirements in paragraphs 12.1 and 12.2. RTR 154. At a controlled intersection, drivers on a side (minor) road must yield to vehicles approaching on the priority road.

RTR 201. Do not place a rear-facing child restraint suitable for the child's size on the front passenger seat if that seat is protected by an active airbag. This prohibition does not apply when the front passenger airbag is deactivated. It is recommended that children remain as long as possible in a rear-facing child restraint adapted to their height and weight, in accordance with the child seat manufacturer's instructions.

Carrying unnecessary luggage increases fuel consumption and causes additional harmful emissions. Loud music from a vehicle contributes to noise pollution and can scare wildlife. For short trips, people can walk, cycle, or use public transport, because during brief journeys the engine often does not reach its optimal operating temperature, the vehicle runs less efficiently, and pollution is higher.

According to the Law on Road Traffic Safety, Article 2, point 43: “Drunkenness” means a state in which a person has consumed ethyl alcohol and the concentration of that alcohol in the body's biological media (exhaled air, blood, urine, saliva or other bodily fluids) exceeds the legal limit. The maximum permitted concentration of ethyl alcohol in the exhaled air, blood, urine, saliva or other bodily fluids of persons operating vehicles is 0.4 per mille (‰). Novice drivers, taxi drivers, and drivers of mopeds, motorcycles, tricycles, light quadricycles, four-wheelers, motorized quadricycles, vehicles with a maximum permissible weight over 3.5 t or with more than 9 seats, and drivers transporting dangerous goods are considered intoxicated when the concentration of ethyl alcohol in their exhaled air, blood, urine, saliva or other bodily fluids is greater than 0 ‰. JB

The higher the vehicle's speed when cornering, the greater the effect of inertia and the higher the risk of the car sliding sideways. Lower speeds reduce inertia and the risk of sliding. A larger turning radius (a gentler curve) also reduces lateral inertial forces.

The letter 'R' denotes a radial tyre construction. In a radial tyre, the carcass cords run from one bead to the other in a radial direction instead of being wrapped around the bead cores. Thin, flexible crown plies provide the tread area with the required rigidity and flexibility while minimizing elastic deformation.

Carrying a 100 kg load in city driving increases fuel consumption by about 0.5 L per 100 km. The air conditioner consumes approximately 0.5–1.0 L/100 km; a fan consumes about 0.08–0.3 L/100 km; the radio about 0.06–0.21 L/100 km; modern audio systems about 0.2–0.7 L/100 km. JB

RTR 44. Pedestrians may enter the carriageway only after assessing the distance to and speed of approaching vehicles and ensuring it is safe to proceed. Before stepping onto or while moving along the carriageway, pedestrians must refrain from actions (such as using mobile devices) that would distract them from observing the surroundings and traffic conditions and would prevent them from confirming it is safe to continue.

A central reservation is not part of the carriageway. A carriageway is the portion of a road intended for vehicular traffic.

A squeal heard during a sudden rise in engine RPM is typically caused by a loose or worn accessory drive belt, which can slip on the pulleys.
