Regulation RTR 173. Drivers must not: 173.3. enter a level crossing after the barrier has been lowered or is in the process of being lowered; deliberately lift the barrier; or drive around the barriers.

Maintain a speed that allows you to stop the vehicle with the parking brake if necessary. Switch on your hazard warning lights to warn other road users. Drive to the nearest safe place to stop and call roadside assistance.

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.

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.

If the wheels lock and the car begins to skid while braking, you must release the brake pedal. For example, if you brake hard before a bend and lock the wheels, the vehicle will continue moving in its original direction (straight ahead) despite steering input. That can cause you to run off the road or collide with an obstacle. In that situation you must stop braking — which can be difficult, especially for inexperienced drivers.

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

When a driver operates a vehicle while fatigued, their memory and attention are impaired. They take longer to notice signals and assess situations, driving performance declines, reaction times are delayed, and vehicle control deteriorates.

RTR 195. Drivers must not: 195.1. carry more passengers than are permitted by the vehicle's technical specifications; JB

RTR 219. In the event of a road accident, every driver involved or any other road user must: 219.3. upon the request of other road users involved in the accident, present a valid identity document or a valid driving licence, and a certificate (policy) of compulsory third‑party motor vehicle liability insurance in order to identify the insurer;

The parking brake may be used only in emergency situations (to prevent a collision) or if the foot brake fails.

RTR 82. A driver must indicate intended maneuvers using the vehicle's right or left direction indicators, or by arm signals if the indicator lights are unavailable or inoperative. Specifically: 82.1 before starting to move and before stopping; 82.2 before changing lanes, before and after overtaking, before and after passing an obstruction, before turning right or left, before making a U‑turn, and before leaving an intersection where vehicles must circulate around a central point. JB

RTR 131. The following speed limits apply outside built-up areas: 131.2. The maximum speed for A1, A2, A or B category vehicles driven by novice drivers, persons learning to drive or taking a practical driving test, and buses (including school buses) is: 100 km/h on motorways; 90 km/h on highways; 80 km/h on roads with asphalt or concrete pavement; and 70 km/h on other roads. JB

Passenger car tyre tread depth must be at least 1.6 mm in general and 3.0 mm during the winter period. Source: Technical requirements for motor vehicles and their trailers — Section V: Vehicle axles, wheels, tyres and suspension. 5.7. The tread depth of the tyres used must be at least: 5.7.1. M1 category — 1.6 mm (from November 10 to March 31 — 3.0 mm); JB

RTR 73. Traffic light signals: 73.10. A flashing white light used at level crossings indicates that vehicles may proceed only after confirming that no rail-borne vehicle is approaching the crossing.

LAW ON ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY — Article 22(12). Persons aged 24 or older who have at least two years' driving experience with a category B licence and who have completed practical training for category A1 vehicles in accordance with the procedure established by the Ministry of Transport and Communications or its authorised institution are granted the right to drive category A1 vehicles within the territory of the Republic of Lithuania.

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

In this situation the driver must hold at least a category B driving licence; the driver is not required to hold a category C licence. LAW ON ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY — Article 23. Categories of motor vehicles and the minimum driving age. 1. Categories of motor vehicles and their combinations with trailers are: 6) Category B: vehicles with a permissible maximum weight not exceeding 3,500 kg and designed and constructed to carry no more than eight passengers, excluding the driver; these vehicles may be combined with a trailer whose permissible maximum weight does not exceed 750 kg; they may also be combined with a trailer whose permissible maximum weight exceeds 750 kg, provided that the permissible maximum weight of the vehicle combination does not exceed 4,250 kg; a vehicle combination with a permissible maximum weight exceeding 3,500 kg (including a trailer with a permissible maximum weight exceeding 750 kg) may be driven only after passing a practical skills and behaviour test at the state enterprise "Regitra".

RTR 195. Drivers must not: 6) teach another person to drive or transport children under 14 years of age; JB

The AM category is sufficient to drive these vehicles, but it is not the only entitlement that allows you to do so. Possessing another driving category that authorises operation of such vehicles also permits you to drive them. LAW ON ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY — Article 2. Basic concepts of the Law: 30. Light quadricycle means a four-wheeled motor vehicle with an unladen mass (excluding batteries if it is an electric vehicle) not exceeding 350 kg, a maximum design speed not exceeding 45 km/h, an engine capacity not exceeding 50 cm3 (for a spark-ignition engine), a maximum net power not exceeding 4 kW (for another type of internal combustion engine), and a maximum rated power not exceeding 4 kW (for an electric motor). 33. Moped means a two-wheeled motor vehicle with a maximum design speed exceeding 25 km/h and not exceeding 45 km/h, an engine capacity not exceeding 50 cm3 (for an internal combustion engine), and a maximum net power not exceeding 4 kW (for an electric motor); or a three-wheeled motor vehicle with a maximum design speed exceeding 25 km/h and not exceeding 45 km/h, an engine capacity not exceeding 50 cm3 (for a spark-ignition engine), a maximum net power not exceeding 4 kW (for another type of internal combustion engine), and a maximum net power not exceeding 4 kW (for an electric motor). LAW ON ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY — Article 23. Categories of motor vehicles and the minimum driving age: 1. Categories of motor vehicles and their combinations with trailers: 1) Category AM: mopeds and light quadricycles;

RTR 17. At the request of a police officer, a driver must submit to tests for alcohol intoxication or for intoxication caused by narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, or other psychoactive substances, in the manner prescribed by the Government of the Republic of Lithuania. RTR 14. It is prohibited to drive a vehicle if you are not authorized to do so, 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 may endanger road safety. A vehicle must not be entrusted to a person who is under the influence of such factors or who is not authorized to drive that type of vehicle. When operating a vehicle, the driver must comply with the conditions specified on the driving licence. JB

RTR 91. If the vehicle is fitted with hazard warning lights, they must be switched on: 91.3 when the vehicle is stopped by an inspecting officer. JB

This is not an intersection but the entrance to a yard. Therefore, vehicle C is not prohibited from parking in this way. RTR 150. Standing and parking shall be prohibited: 150.15 at crossroads and in places where vehicles enter the road from adjacent areas and exit the road to adjacent areas, and within a 5-metre distance from those points (on the side of the road where the entrance/exit is located), except where road signs permit parking.

Vehicles may be approaching from the rear on the left-hand side, so opening the door could be unsafe. (RTR 148) Do not open the doors of a parked vehicle if doing so would create an obstruction or pose a hazard to other road users.

If other drivers switch their headlights from high beam to low beam (flash) during the day, it may indicate that your low beams are excessively bright or misaligned and are dazzling other road users. This is dangerous because dazzled drivers can become disoriented and cause accidents. If you notice that drivers often flash their lights as they pass you, it is a sign to have your vehicle's lighting checked and, if necessary, adjusted. 81. The warning signals are as follows: using turn and brake light signals (signals may also be indicated by hand); sounding the horn; switching headlights on and off; using hazard warning lights; turning on flashing orange hazard lights; and placing a warning triangle on the road or attaching it to a vehicle.

Before a long journey, inspect your vehicle for obvious defects that could force you to stop. Avoid overloading the car to improve safety and reduce fuel consumption and wear. Planning your route with a navigation system helps make the trip faster, more efficient, and safer.

Braking distance depends on the condition of the tyres, the vehicle's speed, the road surface, the vehicle's weight, the force applied to the brake pedal, and the condition of the braking system. Less worn tyres provide more effective braking. Lower speeds reduce stopping distance. Heavier vehicles require a longer distance to stop. Rougher road surfaces increase traction and therefore shorten stopping distance. Applying greater pressure to the brake pedal generally shortens stopping distance, provided you avoid locking the wheels.

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.

Consider the effect on braking performance when towing a vehicle whose engine (and thus its brake servo) is not operating.

Note: Releasing the throttle is not the same as freewheeling. See 3.4 Control the throttle: 3.4.9 Release the throttle and use the vehicle's inertia before coming to a stop at a predetermined location (for example, at an intersection with a traffic light or at a stop sign) or in similar situations.
