If you press the accelerator suddenly on a slippery road, the driving wheels may start to spin, further smoothing and polishing the wheel track on the slippery surface. This reduces traction; as a result the tires can lose grip more quickly and the vehicle may skid or slide sideways.

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'.

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.

Persons under 14 years of age are not permitted to ride bicycles on roads. However, those who complete an additional training course and obtain a school-issued certificate may ride on roads from age 12. Within residential areas, there is no minimum age restriction for cyclists.

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: 219.4. if a person has died or has been injured in the road accident, report the accident to the police and remain at the accident scene or, after notifying the police, return to the scene and wait for the police to arrive, except where the police permit the road user to leave the scene or when the casualties or the person who reported the accident require first aid; 220. If no deaths or injuries occurred in the road accident and the road users involved agree on the circumstances and do not call the police to the accident scene, the road users must draw the accident sketch on the Road Accident Report Form, describe the circumstances in writing, and have it signed by all road users involved. If none of the road users involved has the Road Accident Report Form, the circumstances may be described and the accident sketch drawn on a blank sheet of paper listing all road users involved, their vehicles, and witnesses, and all details and circumstances must be confirmed by the signatures of the road users involved. Where the circumstances of the accident are disputed, the police must be called to the scene.

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

At an uncontrolled intersection of roads with equal priority, drivers must yield to vehicles approaching from the right when their paths intersect. A vehicle turning left must give way to oncoming traffic that is going straight or turning right. In this scenario, the red car goes first because the motorcycle, which had entered the intersection, stopped to yield. The white car proceeds next, since it no longer has a vehicle to its right, and finally the motorcyclist completes the maneuver — the motorcycle goes third. (RTR 155; RTR 157.)

The red and blue vehicles are on the priority (main) road, so they proceed first. Between them the priority-to-the-right rule applies: the red vehicle goes first because no vehicle is approaching from its right, followed by the blue vehicle. Vehicles on the side road follow: the green vehicle goes next (it has no vehicle to its right), and last is the yellow vehicle. RTR 154. At a controlled intersection, drivers on a side road must yield to vehicles on the priority road. RTR 156. If the main road’s direction changes at the intersection, drivers on the main road must, with respect to one another, follow the rules for intersections of roads of equal importance; drivers on the side road must apply those same rules among themselves. RTR Annex 2.204. 'STOP' — drivers must not proceed without stopping before the stop line or, if there is no line, before the sign. A driver must yield to vehicles traveling on the road he or she is about to cross. If panel No. 843 'Direction of Priority Road' is installed below the sign, the driver must yield to vehicles on the priority road.

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 221. Road users involved in a traffic accident must refrain from consuming alcoholic beverages, medications, narcotic drugs, or any other intoxicating substances immediately after the accident until they have either undergone, or formally refused, a test to determine drunkenness or impairment caused by a narcotic, psychotropic, or any other substance.

RTR – 150. Standing and parking are prohibited: 150.3 on and under bridges, viaducts and flyovers — except where parking is expressly permitted by road signs indicating a parking space — and in tunnels.

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.

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 168. Before entering and crossing a level crossing, road users must obey road signs, road markings, the position of barriers, traffic lights, audible warnings, and the signals of level crossing attendants/controllers. Before entering a level crossing, a road user must always ensure that no rail vehicle is approaching the level crossing. It is recommended that children under 12 be accompanied by an adult when crossing a level crossing.

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;

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

On slopes marked with the appropriate road signs, the vehicle traveling downhill must give way when an obstruction is present, regardless of which side the obstruction occupies (RTR 139). However, if it is difficult for two vehicles to pass each other, the driver whose side has the obstruction should give way.

The option "More than 1 meter long" is incorrect because the RTR do not specify any marking requirement based on the cart's length. Under RTR 41: pedestrians moving along an unlit hard shoulder or along the edge of the carriageway, or standing there during hours of darkness or when visibility is poor, must carry a torch visible to other road users, wear a high-visibility vest, or carry a reflector visible to other road users. A pulled or pushed handcart wider than 1 m must have reflectors affixed on its left side: a white reflector at the front and a red reflector at the rear. JB

Drivers from other countries who are unfamiliar with local roads may have difficulty orienting themselves; they might make unexpected maneuvers, signal late before turns, or brake suddenly.

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

Passengers may be carried in a towed vehicle except when the vehicle is being towed with its front or rear supported on a towing platform or other support device. Regulation 195 states that drivers must not: 195.4. carry passengers inside a bus, trolleybus, or the body of a goods vehicle that is being towed; if the front or rear of a vehicle is resting on a support device, passengers must not be inside the vehicle or in its cargo body.

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.

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.

Stopping distance is the distance a vehicle covers from the moment the driver becomes aware of an obstacle until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.

Any load that projects laterally, even slightly, must be marked. During hours of darkness such a load must be indicated by lights. Loads projecting beyond the sides of the vehicle must always be marked; loads projecting beyond the front or rear do not always require marking. According to RTR 210 and Annex 4: loads extending more than 1 m beyond the front or rear of the vehicle, or projecting laterally beyond the vehicle's outer edge, must be marked as specified in Annex 4.12. Extreme edges of loads that extend more than 1 m beyond the vehicle's dimensions, or that project even minimally to the side, as well as extreme edges of vehicles wider than 2.6 m, shall be marked with distinguishing panels — 400 mm square plates with alternating reflective white and red diagonal stripes 50 mm wide. These panels must be mounted between 0.4 m and 1.6 m above ground level. During hours of darkness or in poor visibility such vehicles must also display lights in the designated positions: white at the front, orange at the sides, and red at the rear.

629. 'Place of Interest' sign. Indicates the name of a cultural or historical site of interest. The sign has a brown background.

Under Article 23 of the Law on Road Traffic Safety, there are two ways to obtain a category A (motorcycle) driving licence. You may obtain category A from the age of 24 without prior experience. Alternatively, from the age of 20 you may obtain category A if you have at least two years' qualifying experience riding category A2 motorcycles. The two-year A2 experience requirement does not apply to applicants aged 24 or older. Separately, the right to drive tricycles (three-wheelers) with power exceeding 15 kW is granted from the age of 21.

While public transport also produces emissions, it carries many passengers at once; as a result, fuel (or electricity) consumption per person is much lower, noise levels are reduced, and traffic congestion is significantly decreased.

Although driving at high speed increases fuel consumption and accelerates tire wear, those effects are not the primary danger asked about here and therefore should not be selected. Increasing speed lengthens the distance traveled during the driver's reaction time and increases the braking distance (braking distance grows roughly with the square of speed), which reduces the ability to stop before an obstacle. In addition, the centrifugal force acting on the vehicle toward the outside of a curve increases with the square of the speed and is inversely proportional to the curve's radius. As a result, at higher speeds the vehicle is more likely to skid or roll over.
