What should drivers do if they encounter a pothole on the road that cannot be avoided while traveling at high speed?

When you see a pothole, reduce your speed and try to steer around it. If avoidance is impossible and an impact cannot be prevented, release the brakes just before the pothole and straighten the steering — this reduces the chance of damaging the tire or suspension components.

1. Release the brakes just before hitting the pothole.

2. Accelerate before hitting the pothole.

A driver whose vehicle is being overtaken must not:

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

1. Speeding up or otherwise obstructing a driver who is attempting to overtake.

2. Slowing down.

3. Using the horn.

Standing and parking are prohibited when the distance between a stationary vehicle and a solid line of the road marking (or the kerb) is:

The distance between a stationary vehicle and a solid line (or the kerb) must be at least 3 metres. If the distance is exactly 3 metres, standing and parking are permitted. If the distance is less than 3 metres (for example, 2 metres), standing and parking are prohibited. RTR 150. Standing and parking are prohibited: 150.7 where there is a distance of less than 3 m between a stationary vehicle and a solid line of the road marking, the kerb, or, in its absence, the edge of the carriageway;

1. 3 metres

2. 3.5 metres

3. 4 metres

4. 2 metres

When driving a motor vehicle equipped with seat belts, is it permissible for a passenger on the back seat not to wear a seat belt?

Only the driver is allowed not to wear a seat belt in a residential area (e.g. in a parking lot). RTR 196. All passengers and a driver must wear seat belts when travelling in vehicles equipped with them. If a bus is fitted with seat belts, informative signs 'Fasten Your Seat Belt' must be displayed in a visible place in front of every seat, on the seat, or next to it. It is recommended that all passengers in the bus be informed of the requirement to wear seat belts orally or by audio-visual means before starting their journey. RTR 198. Persons driving a vehicle in reverse or in a parking lot are exempt from wearing seat belts in built- up areas. RTR 205. Persons who due to serious medical reasons hold special permits issued by competent institutions are exempt from wearing seat belts. These permits must have an expiry date. JB

1. It is allowed if you have a special certificate issued by the competent authorities for serious medical reasons.

2. Allowed when driving in settlements.

3. Allowed only with the driver's permission.

4. Allowed when driving in residential areas.

When driving and you discover that a bend in the road is sharper than you anticipated, you should:

If a bend in the road is sharper than anticipated, you must reduce your speed.

1. You should reduce your speed.

2. You should attempt to decrease your turning radius.

3. You should accelerate.

4. You should maintain your current speed.

Is turning around permitted on the bridge?

Traffic Regulations (RTR) 116. Turning around is prohibited under clause 116.4: on and under bridges, overpasses, and viaducts. JB

1. Yes, it is permitted.

2. No, it is not permitted.

Which driver is violating the traffic rules?

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.

1. The driver of the red vehicle.

2. The driver of the green vehicle.

How can you conserve fuel and reduce environmental pollution?

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

1. Remove unnecessary items from the vehicle before driving.

2. Use the air conditioner only when necessary.

3. Use electrical accessories only when necessary.

You are approaching a bend in the road. You should:

Drivers approaching a bend should be aware that the curve may be sharper than it appears. Therefore they must select a safe speed and adopt an appropriate position on the road to avoid entering the oncoming traffic lane. A safe speed depends on all circumstances: weather conditions, the technical condition of the road and the vehicle, the vehicle's load, the driver's experience and physical condition. RTR 127. Drivers must not exceed the permitted speed limit. When choosing a driving speed, drivers should consider the driving conditions — in particular the terrain — the condition of the road and the vehicle (including its load), weather conditions and traffic density so that they can stop safely before any foreseeable obstruction. Drivers must slow down or stop if circumstances require, especially when visibility is poor.

1. Reduce your speed.

2. Position your vehicle to avoid crossing into the oncoming traffic lane.

3. Use your turn signal.

What is the maximum permitted speed for a truck with a permissible maximum mass of up to 3.5 tonnes on a gravel road?

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

1. 90 km/h.

2. 60 km/h.

3. 70 km/h.

What is the purpose of an anti-lock braking system (ABS) in a vehicle?

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.

1. Because it prevents the wheels from locking during sudden or hard braking, preserving traction and steering control.

2. Because it helps prevent vehicle theft.

3. Because it prevents the vehicle from rolling downhill.

What happens when the air pressure in a vehicle's tyres is too low?

When driving with tyres that have insufficient air pressure, the outer edges of the tyres wear more quickly, shortening tyre lifespan. Low tyre pressure also reduces vehicle stability and increases rolling resistance, which raises fuel consumption.

1. Tyres wear out more quickly.

2. Vehicle stability improves.

3. Fuel consumption increases.

4. Vehicle stability decreases.

Why is it dangerous to drive fast on the asphalt road in heavy rain?

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

1. Water gets on the engine and it will shut down.

2. Due to possible aquaplaning the vehicle may become out of control.

3. Windshield wipers will fail.

Are non-public-service vehicles allowed to drive in a lane marked with the letter 'A'?

A lane marked with the letter 'A' is reserved exclusively for public service vehicles. Non-public-service vehicles may only change into or use this lane when preparing to turn right. An exception exists for lanes marked with the 'A+' symbol. (See RTR Annex 3, §1.21; RTR 181 and Paragraph 182 of the Rules.) Non-public-service vehicles must not drive in lanes marked with the 'Lane Reserved for Public Service Vehicles' sign and the letter 'A'.

1. Yes — non-public-service vehicles are permitted to use that lane.

2. No — non-public-service vehicles are not permitted to use that lane.

What should a driver be aware of about children's behavior when they cross a pedestrian crossing?

Drivers should be prepared for unexpected behavior from children at pedestrian crossings. When children act predictably and responsibly, it improves road safety.

1. Children may suddenly step onto the pedestrian crossing.

2. Children may stop or hesitate while on the pedestrian crossing.

3. Children behave predictably and in an orderly manner.

Which of the following distances to a vehicle ahead would be unsafe?

RTR 126. The driver must maintain a following distance at speed sufficient to avoid colliding with the vehicle ahead if it brakes, and must leave a lateral gap to ensure traffic safety. It is recommended that the following distance be at least the distance covered in two seconds, or at least half the speedometer reading converted into metres; for example, at 70 km/h the distance should not be less than 35 m, unless traffic conditions require otherwise. Drivers of motor vehicles, tractors and self‑propelled machinery, when overtaking pedestrians or when overtaking or passing cyclists or drivers of electric micromobility vehicles, must leave a lateral clearance of at least 1.0 m if their speed does not exceed 50 km/h, and at least 1.5 m if their speed exceeds 50 km/h. The requirement to maintain the specified lateral distance does not apply on single‑lane roads.

1. Less than the distance covered in two seconds.

2. Less than the distance covered in five seconds.

3. 30 m

4. 50 m

Which vehicle is considered an automobile?

Law on Road Traffic Safety, Article 2, paragraph 2. An automobile is a motor vehicle designed to travel on roads to carry goods and/or passengers or to tow other vehicles, excluding motorcycles, light quadricycles, quadricycles, power quadricycles, mopeds, tricycles, tractors, and self-propelled machines. Automobiles also include trolleybuses, which are non-rail vehicles powered by overhead electric cables. JB

1. Designed for towing other vehicles.

2. Designed for road use and for transporting goods.

3. Designed for road use and for transporting passengers.

4. Motorcycles, tractors, and self-propelled machines.

5. Non-rail electric vehicles powered by overhead electric cables — trolleybuses.

What must the drivers do if one vehicle catches up to the other while both are driving outside a settlement with their headlights on high beam?

The driver of the following vehicle must dip their headlights so as not to dazzle the driver ahead. The vehicle in front should switch to low beam only if the following vehicle begins to overtake, to avoid dazzling that driver. RTR 95. During darkness or in poor visibility, main beam headlights must be switched to low beam: 95.1 on illuminated roads; 95.2 when the distance to a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction is at least 150 m; 95.3 in other cases when main beam lights can dazzle other drivers (even travelling in the same direction). JB

1. The driver of the vehicle ahead must switch from high beam to low beam when the following vehicle begins to overtake.

2. The driver of the vehicle ahead must activate the hazard warning lights.

3. The driver of the following vehicle must switch from high beam to low beam.

Under what circumstances are drivers prohibited from operating a vehicle?

IV 15. It is prohibited to drive vehicles that are not in good condition or that fail to meet the applicable technical requirements. Before setting off, the driver of a motor vehicle, tractor, or self-propelled vehicle must ensure the vehicle is in proper condition and is equipped with a warning triangle, fire extinguisher, first-aid kit, and any other items mandated for that vehicle type. The driver must also monitor the vehicle's technical condition during the trip. If the vehicle breaks down while driving and ceases to meet technical requirements, and repairs on-site are impossible, the driver may proceed—taking all necessary precautions—to the nearest parking area or repair facility, except in cases specified in paragraph 234 of these Rules.

1. When the engine has not yet warmed up to its optimal operating temperature.

2. When the vehicle's fuel tank is not full.

3. When the vehicle is not in roadworthy condition.

4. When the vehicle does not meet the required technical standards.

Where does fog typically form?

Fog typically forms over and near bodies of water, and in humid, low-lying areas.

1. Near lakes.

2. Near rivers.

3. In marshy or swampy areas.

4. In low-lying sections of roads.

Are other vehicles permitted to enter the space between a motorcyclist and the driving instructor who is accompanying the motorcyclist in a car?

RTR 26. Drivers of other vehicles must not enter the space between a learner driver—who is learning to operate a moped, motorcycle, tricycle, or any type of quadricycle—and the driving instructor who is accompanying the learner in a vehicle. During the training period the learner must wear a high-visibility vest marked with the distinguishing sign 'M' on both the front and the back. A driving instructor who accompanies the learner on a motorcycle must also wear a vest of the same type bearing the words 'DRIVING INSTRUCTOR'. If the instructor accompanies the learner in a car, the car must display the identifying marking specified in Annex 4 of these Rules.

1. It is permitted.

2. It is prohibited.

What should the driver do first to stop a braking car from skidding?

If the vehicle begins to slide while braking, you must stop braking. For example, if you brake suddenly and lock the wheels before a turn, even after steering into the desired direction the car will continue moving in its previous direction (straight), which can cause you to leave the road or collide with an obstacle. Therefore, in this situation you must consciously release the brakes — a maneuver that can be especially difficult for an inexperienced driver. JB

1. Release the clutch and the brake pedal.

2. Release the brake pedal.

3. Increase vehicle speed.

In most cases, those responsible for road accidents in Lithuania are:

According to data from the Lithuanian Road Administration, in 2017 drivers accounted for 68.83% of all individuals found responsible for road accidents.

1. Drivers of motor vehicles.

2. Cyclists (bicyclists).

3. Pedestrians (people on foot).

4. Drivers of animal-drawn vehicles.

Is the third vehicle permitted to make a U‑turn?

The leading vehicle is not permitted to turn left and therefore may not make a U‑turn (RTR 77.1). When the signal arm is extended sideways or downward: 77.1.1 vehicles to the left and right may proceed straight or turn right; pedestrians may cross the carriageway; 77.1.2 vehicles and pedestrians ahead of and behind the signaling vehicle must not proceed. JB

1. Yes — it may.

2. No — it is not permitted.

3. Yes — but only after yielding to the first vehicle proceeding straight.

Overtaking is prohibited in the following situations:

RTR XVI.140. Overtaking is forbidden: 140.1. at intersections, except where overtaking on a main road is permitted because the intersection is not marked by one of the following signs: 'Intersection with the Side Road', 'Side Road on the Right', 'Side Road on the Left', or 'Priority Road'; 140.2. at level crossings and within 100 m of a level crossing; 140.3. on road sections with poor visibility; 140.4. on pedestrian crossings; 140.5. on roads with more than one lane in the same direction; 140.6. on road sections marked with the signs 'Overtaking is prohibited' or 'Overtaking by trucks is prohibited' (see the explanations for these signs); 140.7. on road sections where opposing traffic flows are separated by longitudinal markings 1.1, 1.3, 1.4, 1.10 (from the continuous line side) and 1.15 listed in Appendix 3 of the Rules; 140.8. in residential areas, apartment building courtyards, parking lots and bicycle streets. JB

1. At intersections, except where overtaking is specifically allowed.

2. On stretches of road with good visibility.

3. Within 50 metres before a railway crossing.

4. On road sections where signs 'No overtaking' or 'No overtaking by trucks' are posted (as defined by the signs' descriptions).

When driving at night on unlit stretches of road, a vehicle driver must drive with:

RTR 94. When traveling on roads at night or in conditions of poor visibility, motor vehicles, tractors, and self‑propelled vehicles must be driven with either dipped (low‑beam) or main (high‑beam) headlamps switched on.

1. Only the main (high‑beam) headlamps are switched on.

2. Only the dipped (low‑beam) headlamps are switched on.

3. Either the dipped (low‑beam) or the main (high‑beam) headlamps must be switched on.

When approaching a traffic-light-controlled intersection and you notice the green light has been on for a long time, what should you do?

A green light that has been lit for an extended period may change to yellow shortly. You may proceed, but remain vigilant and be prepared to stop safely. 73. Traffic light signals mean: 73.1. A steady circular green light permits movement in all directions (straight ahead, to the right, to the left, or a U-turn); 73.3. A flashing green light permits movement but warns that its time is ending and the signals are about to change.

1. Stop immediately.

2. Increase your speed.

3. Continue driving but be prepared to stop.

You are driving in heavy rain. The steering wheel suddenly gets very easy to turn. What will you do?

If the steering wheel gets very easy to turn, it means that the vehicle tyres lost their traction on a slippery road surface. In this case, you have to reduce your speed. You should do it slowly because an abrupt change of engine revolutions or braking on a slippery road surface may cause the vehicle to skid or slide.

1. You will slightly increase your speed.

2. You will slowly release the accelerator.

3. You will suddenly brake to reduce your speed.

4. You will move towards the hard shoulder.

At an uncontrolled intersection, if the paths of the vehicles do not cross, which vehicle has the right of way?

If the vehicles' paths do not intersect, they may proceed simultaneously.

1. The vehicle approaching from the right.

2. The vehicle approaching from the left.

3. All vehicles may proceed simultaneously.

Is a person without a valid driving licence in the Republic of Lithuania permitted to drive (as opposed to only learning to drive) a motor vehicle?

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.

1. No — they are not permitted to drive.

2. Yes — they are permitted to drive.
