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.

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 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.

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.

Law on Road Traffic Safety, Art. 2, para. 11. "Bicycle path" — a road or part of a road intended for the movement of bicycles, motorcycles and electric micromobility vehicles, marked with appropriate road signs. A bicycle path must be separated from the roadway or its lanes by engineering measures.

RTR VIII. Requirements for Cyclists (paras. 55–66). 57. Bicycles may be ridden only on cycle tracks, footpaths, or cycle lanes; if none of these is available, bicycles may be ridden on an appropriate hard shoulder (with an asphalt or concrete surface). When a road has no cycle track or combined footpath-and-cycle track, and there is no cycle lane or hard shoulder on the right side — or if such facilities exist but are unsuitable for cycling (for example, are damaged) — cyclists may ride on the pavement (sidewalk) or in single file in 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, or when a cyclist needs to pass an obstruction or must continue straight ahead while only a right turn is allowed from the first lane. When riding on a hard shoulder, footpath, cycle track, or pavement, a cyclist must yield to pedestrians and must not create obstructions or hazards; when overtaking a pedestrian, the cyclist should travel at a speed close to walking speed (3–7 km/h) and leave sufficient lateral space so that passage is safe.

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.

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.

When driving under the influence of alcohol, attention and comprehension are reduced; critical thinking and memory are impaired; coordination of movements deteriorates; reflexes are weakened or lost; drivers take longer to perceive signals and interpret situations; overall driving performance declines, reaction times slow, and vehicle control worsens or may be lost.

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.

In winter, air temperatures can easily drop to -25 °C or lower, causing diesel vehicles to experience starting problems. When temperatures fall below 0 °C, water in diesel fuel can freeze; failing to prepare a diesel vehicle for such conditions may lead to breakdowns. At service stations you can choose “summer” diesel, typically suitable from May through October, or “winter” diesel, formulated for use from November through April and adapted to low sub-zero temperatures.

On roads (especially those with ruts) during heavy rain, water can accumulate on the asphalt because it cannot drain quickly toward the edges. If you accelerate under these conditions, the tire treads may be unable to disperse the accumulated water. The vehicle can aquaplane when a wedge of water lifts the tires off the road surface, reducing traction and making the vehicle difficult to control. If a vehicle begins to aquaplane, the driver should reduce speed to regain traction and stability.

101. Before starting to move, changing lanes, or otherwise altering course, drivers must ensure the manoeuvre is safe and give way to other road users (i.e., avoid creating obstructions).

RTR 16. A driver must stop the vehicle when ordered by the inspecting officer. The driver of a motor vehicle, tractor, self-propelled vehicle or military vehicle (including tactical and logistical vehicles and combinations with trailers) must carry and, upon request of the inspecting officer, present a valid driving licence or a document certifying the right to drive tractors and/or self‑propelled vehicles or military equipment; the vehicle registration documents and proof of the compulsory roadworthiness test (including the report of the most recent technical inspection for vehicle categories M2, M3, N2, N3, O3, O4 and wheeled tractor categories T1b, T2b, T3b, T4.1b, T4.2b, T4.3b, T5); the certificate (policy) of compulsory motor third‑party liability insurance; and other documents required by the laws of the Republic of Lithuania and these Rules (except where the Law on Road Traffic Safety exempts the driver from carrying certain documents). The driver must also allow the inspecting officer to check the readings of validated tachographs or other devices that record driving time and rest periods. Documents shall be presented to the inspecting officer without leaving the vehicle. The driver may exit the vehicle only with the inspecting officer’s permission. RTR 91. If the vehicle is equipped with hazard warning lights, they must be switched on: 91.3 when the vehicle is stopped by an inspecting officer. JB

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

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.

Stopping distance is the distance a vehicle travels from the moment the driver notices an obstruction until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Braking distance is the distance the vehicle travels from the moment the brakes are fully applied until it stops. Reaction distance is the distance the vehicle travels from the moment the driver detects an obstruction until the driver begins to apply the brakes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

RTR 217. The following vehicle towing and transport practices are prohibited: 217.6. Towing more than one motor vehicle, tractor, or self-propelled vehicle.

RTR 196. All passengers and the driver must wear seat belts when traveling in vehicles equipped with them. If a bus is fitted with seat belts, visible signs reading "Fasten Your Seat Belt" must be displayed in front of every seat, on the seat, or next to it. It is recommended that all bus passengers be informed of the requirement to wear seat belts verbally or by audio-visual means before the journey begins. 198. Within built-up areas, a driver is permitted not to fasten the seat belt while reversing or when in parking areas. 205. Persons who, for serious medical reasons, hold special permits issued by competent authorities are exempt from wearing seat belts. These permits must include an expiry date.

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.

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 73. Traffic light signals have the following meanings: 73.10. A flashing white light used at level crossings means that vehicles may proceed after ensuring that no rail-borne vehicle is approaching the level crossing;

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;

Incorrect tyre pressure usually causes the vehicle to pull to one side during normal driving, not only when braking. If the car only pulls while braking, uneven braking is the likely cause — for example, a seized caliper, sticking pads, or poor adjustment causing one side to brake harder. Low brake fluid will reduce braking effectiveness or cause pedal problems, but it typically does not make the car swerve to one side only when braking.

128. If there is an obstruction or traffic safety is endangered, the driver must reduce speed, stop if necessary, or avoid the obstruction (if it can be detected) without creating danger for other road users. 135. Drivers must not: 135.4. decelerate abruptly except for safety reasons.
