Avoid sudden steering or braking to prevent further instability. Gently accelerate — increasing the driven wheel's RPM will help the wheel regain traction and make it easier to return to the paved road.

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.

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.

Explanation of terms: • To brake – press the brake pedal; the car slows down rapidly and stops before the expected obstacle. • To release the accelerator pedal – take your foot off the gas; the car gradually slows on its own but does not come to a complete stop and continues moving. • To drive without changing speed – keep the accelerator position the same; the car continues at a constant speed. RTR 128. If there is an obstruction or traffic safety is at risk, the driver must reduce speed or, if necessary, bring the vehicle to a complete stop or steer around the obstruction (if it can be seen) without creating a hazard for other road users.

141. "Level Crossing Ahead" — warns of a railway level crossing ahead located outside a built-up area. The sign is mounted on the right-hand side of the road.

A generator charges the battery and supplies electrical current to the vehicle's electrical systems and other consumers only while the engine is running, i.e. while the engine's crankshaft is turning. Via the drive pulley and belt, the crankshaft turns the generator, which produces electricity.

According to the Road Traffic Rules (RTR 73.3), a flashing green light permits traffic to proceed but indicates that the green phase is ending and that a prohibitive signal will soon appear. Drivers who try to speed through the intersection — by accelerating or overtaking — take unnecessary risks and may cause an accident. Other drivers may brake suddenly; therefore, to pass the intersection safely while the green light is flashing, drivers must ensure their actions will not obstruct other vehicles and must consider the behavior of drivers behind them, since sudden braking can also lead to collisions. Anticipating the need to stop before the intersection, drivers should reduce their speed.

A category B driving licence entitles the holder to drive vehicles of category AM (mopeds and light quadricycles). LAW ON ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY Article 23. 1. Categories of motor vehicles and their combinations with trailers are as follows: 1) Category AM: mopeds and light quadricycles; 5) Category B1: quadricycles. 4. A driving licence that entitles a person to drive: 1) vehicles referred to in Subparagraphs 2–16 of Paragraph 2 of this Article also entitles the holder to drive vehicles of category AM; 4) vehicles of categories B, C, or D also entitle the holder to drive vehicles of categories B1, C1, or D1.

RTR 8. In the Republic of Lithuania, traffic may be regulated only by road signs listed in Annex 1 to the Rules, by variable message signs treated as road signs (examples are given in Annex 2), by road markings specified in Annex 3, by traffic lights, and by signals from traffic officers, as provided for in these Rules and other legal acts governing traffic control. If the requirements of a road sign conflict with those of a road marking, the road sign must be obeyed. When variable message signs are in use, their indications must be followed. Signals given by traffic officers take precedence over traffic lights, road signs, road markings, and the provisions of these Rules. Road users must comply with the signs that apply to them.

A vehicle's braking system is intended to slow the vehicle, bring it to a complete stop, and hold it stationary. Braking distance should be kept as short as possible, and you must maintain control of the vehicle while braking.

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

After releasing the accelerator (engine braking), place your foot on the brake pedal and stop without pressing the clutch. This is the most effective braking method, especially in winter when roads are slippery. Braking with the clutch disengaged reduces stopping effectiveness and vehicle stability, increasing the risk of skidding to the side. JB

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.

Regulation RTR 167: When an intersection is controlled by traffic lights, drivers must obey the light signals regardless of any priority indicated by road signs. If the traffic lights are not operating or the amber (yellow) light is flashing, drivers must follow the priority indicated by the road signs.

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

The order of the General Director of the state company "Regitra" "On the approval of the description of the criteria and methods for evaluating the skills and abilities of driving a motor vehicle" in 2013 December 23 No. V-223: 3.18. Speed selection: accelerate evenly, drive at a speed appropriate to the traffic situation and do not exceed the permitted speed: 3.18.1. control the speed of the vehicle by performing maneuvers: 3.18.1.1. if necessary, maintain a speed slow enough to compensate for any error made; 3.18.1.2. the vehicle must move evenly and smoothly; 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.

When driving at night and during blowing snow, you should switch on the fog lamps together with the dipped-beam (low-beam) headlamps. Using the main-beam (high-beam) headlamps will cause light to reflect off the snow and dazzle the driver. (RTR 98) Fog lamps should only be used when visibility is seriously reduced; the front fog lamps may also be used in the event of failure of the front left dipped-beam headlamp.

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

To drive economically and sensibly, begin moving smoothly and progressively. Reduce your speed gradually within your capabilities, and avoid unnecessary abrupt maneuvers unless they are essential (for example, emergency braking to avoid an unexpected obstacle). When you accelerate suddenly from a standstill, tyres experience increased wear during rotation.

Oncoming vehicles painted in dark colours often create the illusion that they are moving more slowly than they actually are.

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.

On roads with four or more lanes, a double solid line separates opposing traffic flows. It prohibits driving in lanes that carry traffic in the opposite direction on the marked section; vehicles must not cross this line.

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.

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 as follows: 6) Category B: vehicles with a maximum permissible mass not exceeding 3,500 kg designed and constructed to carry no more than eight passengers, excluding the driver; these vehicles may be coupled with a trailer whose maximum permissible mass does not exceed 750 kg; they may also be coupled with a trailer whose maximum permissible mass exceeds 750 kg, provided that the maximum permissible mass of the combined vehicle does not exceed 4,250 kg; a vehicle combination with a maximum permissible mass exceeding 3,500 kg (including a trailer with a maximum permissible mass exceeding 750 kg) may be driven only after passing a skills and behaviour test at the state enterprise "Regitra". LAW ON ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY Article 22. Granting the right to drive motor vehicles, tractors, self-propelled machines: 12. Persons who are at least 24 years old, who have at least 2 years of driving experience in category B vehicles and who have completed practical driving training for category A1 vehicles in accordance with the procedure established by the Ministry of Transport or its authorised institution, are granted the right to drive category A1 vehicles in the territory of the Republic of Lithuania. As a result, the driver's licence does not explicitly state entitlement to drive category A1 vehicles; instead, the national code set by the Ministry of the Interior is shown next to the category B marking.

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

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.
