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.

LAW ON ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY Article 2. §84. "Vehicle keeper" shall mean a person in possession of and using a vehicle by virtue of ownership, trust, lease, hire, or another lawful basis.

A driver obtains information from: - the road itself; - the surrounding environment; - moving road users (vehicles, pedestrians, road workers, etc.); - stationary objects on the road (central islands, speed bumps, road markings, etc.); - road signs; - traffic lights; - the condition of the road surface; - environmental and weather conditions. RTR 53: Passengers must not distract the driver or interfere with their driving.

Drivers approaching a road bend should be aware the bend may be sharper than it appears. Choose a safe speed and the correct road position to avoid entering the oncoming lane. A safe speed depends on all circumstances: weather, road and vehicle condition (including load), driver experience and fitness. According to RTR 127, drivers must not exceed the legal speed limit. When selecting speed, consider the terrain, road and vehicle condition, load, weather and traffic density so you can stop safely for any foreseeable obstacle. Drivers must slow down and stop when conditions require, especially if visibility is poor.

The side length of the 'Maple Leaf' sign must be between 100 mm and 150 mm. Therefore, the correct answers are 100×100 mm and 150×150 mm. A vehicle driven by a novice driver must display, on the left side of the rear, a white square distinguishing sign with a green border and a green maple leaf in the centre. The side length of the square must be between 100 mm and 150 mm, and the border width must be one-tenth (1/10) of the side length.

82. A driver must signal intended maneuvers using the vehicle's turn signals, or by arm signals if the electrical indicators are inoperative or unavailable: 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 exiting a roundabout.

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

Explanation of terms: • To brake – means pressing the brake pedal; the car quickly slows down and stops before the expected obstacle. • To release the accelerator pedal – means taking your foot off the gas; the car gradually slows down on its own but does not stop completely, it keeps moving. • To drive without changing speed – means pressing the gas pedal the same amount; the car continues moving at a constant speed. RTR 127. Drivers must not exceed the permissible speed limit. A driver must select the driving speed in accordance with the driving conditions, in particular the terrain, the condition of the road and the vehicle including the load, weather conditions, traffic heaviness so that he could safely stop the vehicle before any predictable obstruction. The driver must slow down and stop if the driving circumstances require so, in particular when visibility is poor. RTR 135. Drivers must not: 135.2. exceed the speed limit specified on the vehicle marking plate;  135.3. drive too slowly without reason and hinder the normal traffic of other road users;  135.4. slow down abruptly for other than safety reasons.

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.

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.

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.

RTR 107. When, due to a vehicle's large size or other valid reasons, it is not possible to complete a turn (turn around) from the appropriate edge position of the carriageway, the vehicle may perform the turn from a part of the carriageway other than that edge assigned for travel in that direction, provided the maneuver does not obstruct other vehicles or create a hazard for other road users. JB

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 92. If the emergency light signaling system is not fitted or is defective and an emergency stop is required where stopping or parking is prohibited, in the event of an accident, or where the stopped vehicle would be visible to other road users from less than 100 metres, the driver of a motor vehicle (other than a motor moped or a motorcycle without a trailer), a tractor, or a self‑propelled machine must immediately place an emergency stop sign on the carriageway side opposite the direction of travel: in built‑up areas not less than 25 m from the stopped vehicle, and outside built‑up areas not less than 50 m. If at least one rear position lamp is defective and the hazard warning lights are not working when driving at night or in poor visibility, an emergency stop sign must be affixed to the rear of the vehicle in order to continue driving. RTR 151. When a vehicle is forced to stop where standing or parking is forbidden, drivers must switch on their hazard warning lights if available and/or place a warning triangle on the road as specified in Paragraph 92 of the Rules and remove their vehicle from the road as soon as possible. If drivers intend to stop their vehicle on unlit sections of the road during darkness or when visibility is poor, and hazard warning lights are not available or are inoperative, the vehicle must be parked off the carriageway. If this is impossible, the location must be marked as specified in Paragraph 92 of the Rules. JB

Braking with uneven tire wear between the left and right sides is dangerous because it can cause the vehicle to slide off the road and overturn.

91. If a vehicle is equipped with hazard warning lights, they must be used: 91.7 when other road users should be warned of an obstruction or hazard.

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

If the road surface is slippery or the engine delivers strong torque and the revs increase abruptly, the driven wheels can spin. When the driven wheels are at the rear, the rear axle may lose traction; when they are at the front, the front axle may lose traction, which can cause the vehicle to lose stability and skid.

When stopped uphill at a red traffic light, the recommended way to keep a manual-transmission car stationary is to use the parking brake. This is especially advised for inexperienced drivers, as it makes starting away easier and reduces the risk of rolling backward.

RTR p. 197. Seat belts must be worn over the shoulder and across the lap, or in the manner specified by the vehicle manufacturer. JB

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

Even at 30 km/h, a collision can seriously endanger the health or life of drivers and passengers. For example, in a head-on collision between two vehicles travelling in opposite directions.

A vehicle's permissible maximum weight (hereinafter 'permissible maximum weight') means the maximum authorized operating weight of a fully laden vehicle or combination of vehicles, including the driver, passengers, and cargo, as specified by the vehicle manufacturer or the competent government authority.

RTR 144. Vehicles must stop and park on the carriageway in a single line. RTR 145. Motorcycles without a sidecar, mopeds, bicycles, and electric micromobility devices may be parked in two lines provided such parking does not obstruct traffic.

By selecting the appropriate heating/ventilation mode, you will reduce condensation building up on your windows; by using windscreen wipers, you will wipe fogged up window ensuring good visibility; by switching on the fog lamps, you will make the road more visible, and for other road users it will be easier to notice you. RTR 98. The fog lamps may be used only when visibility is seriously reduced, and the front ones – in the event of failure of the front left-side dipped-beam headlamp. Poor visibility shall mean a situation caused by weather conditions or other phenomena when road visibility is less than 300 meters regardless of the road parameters.

For safety, check the vehicles behind you before changing lanes so you don't force them to brake suddenly. Also monitor following traffic immediately before turning, since other drivers may change speed or perform unexpected manoeuvres.

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 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.

Compared with coasting (driving in neutral), driving with a gear engaged provides better control because, even without pressing the accelerator, the engine maintains steady rotational force on the driven wheels. Rapidly reducing speed during a turn can make the vehicle less stable, while increasing speed can make it harder to complete the turn smoothly due to the higher centrifugal force. Choose and maintain an appropriate speed before entering the turn.
