RTR 30. When approaching an uncontrolled pedestrian crossing, a driver must slow down or stop before the crossing to yield to pedestrians who have stepped into any lane, are moving within any lane, or are standing immediately before a lane (at the edge of the roadway) waiting for the opportunity to step into that lane in the direction of the vehicle’s travel or into any lane on a road with one lane in each direction. Drivers must take extra precautions during hours of darkness, when visibility is poor, or whenever a pedestrian crossing is not clearly visible from the driver’s position, and must ensure there are no pedestrians who should be given way at the crossing.

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.

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.

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.

RTR 206. A driver must ensure the safety of pets in a vehicle and must ensure that pets are transported so they do not interfere with driving and cannot injure themselves or vehicle occupants or other road users if the driver makes a sudden stop.

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.

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.

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

RTR 3.1. "Service vehicles" are vehicles owned by companies, institutions, or organisations operating in an area marked by restrictive signs; vehicles belonging to persons who live or work in that area; vehicles delivering goods to that area or collecting goods from it; and taxis or other passenger vehicles providing paid transport to or from that area.

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

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

The order no. 1V-328 of the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania in 2008 September 10  "On Approval of the Rules for Issuing Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" ch. II. p. 7: 7. A new driver's license is issued when: 7.1. the previous driver's license expires or has already expired; 7.2. the previous driver's license was lost (lost, stolen, etc.); 7.3. the driver's license is worn or damaged; 7.4. the data entered in the driver's license has changed; 7.5. the driver's state of health has changed; 7.6. the applicant wishes to obtain a driver's license to drive motor vehicles of another category(ies) or seeks to acquire the right to drive motor vehicles for the first time; 7.7. the applicant wishes to change the driver's license of the old model to a new model; 7.8. the applicant wishes to obtain a driver's license instead of one issued in another state; 7.9. the applicant wishes to receive a driver's license instead of a destroyed one. SEAK Art. 22 4. Driver's licenses are issued for a period of no longer than 10 years, and the right to drive C1, C1E, C, CE, D1, D1E, D, DE category vehicles is valid for no longer than 5 years from the date of issuance of the driver's license. SEAK Art. 22 5. Novice drivers are issued with a driver's license valid for 3 years, which they will have the right to change to a driver's license valid for 10 years after 2 years from the date of its issuance, in accordance with the procedure established by the Minister of the Interior or his authorized institution, without completing additional driver's training, if within 2 years from on the day of issuance of the issued driver's license did not violate the requirement(s) of the KET, for which additional driver training is provided for in this law, or did not cause a traffic accident that impaired the health of the road user (except for cases where the traffic accident was caused under circumstances that eliminate criminal liability or circumstances when a person is not brought to administrative responsibility). A driver who, as a novice driver, violated the KET requirement(s) for which additional driver training is provided for in this law, or caused a traffic accident that impaired the health of a road user (except for cases where the traffic accident was caused by criminal liability extenuating circumstances or circumstances where the person is not held administratively responsible), additional driver training must be completed within one year from the date of entry into force of the resolution (court verdict) by which the person was recognized as having committed a violation of the law or from the date of execution of the administrative order issued after committing an administrative offense. In cases where a court verdict or criminal order imposes an arrest or a term of imprisonment and the execution of the imposed sentence is not postponed, the additional training of drivers must be completed within one year of the execution of the imposed sentence. JB

According to data from the Lithuanian Road Administration, in 2017 drivers accounted for 68.83% of all individuals found responsible for road accidents.

Regulation RTR 95. During hours of darkness or in conditions of poor visibility, main-beam headlights must be switched to low beam in the following cases: 95.1 on illuminated roads; 95.2 when the distance to an oncoming vehicle is at least 150 m. JB

RTR 40. An organised group of children under 16, accompanied by at least two adults, may use pavements, footpaths, or the pedestrian side of shared footpath and cycle tracks if available. If none of these facilities are present, the group may walk along the hard shoulder, but only in daylight hours when visibility is good, in no more than two files walking against the flow of traffic, and only when it is safe to do so. Accompanying adults must be positioned at the front and rear of the column and wear high-visibility vests. It is recommended that all children in the organised group wear high-visibility vests when walking along the hard shoulder.

Driving across a level crossing where the traffic lights are switched off and the barrier is raised or absent is permitted, but only if you obey traffic regulations and ensure that no train is approaching. 168. Before entering and crossing a level crossing, a road user must comply with road signs, road markings, the position of the barrier, traffic lights, audible warnings, and the signals given by level crossing attendants/controllers. Before entering a level crossing, a road user must always verify that no rail-borne vehicle is approaching the level crossing. It is recommended that children under 12 be accompanied when crossing a level crossing. 173. Drivers must not: 173.3. enter a level crossing after the barrier has been lowered or has begun to be lowered, willfully lift the barrier or manoeuvre around the barriers;

An anti-lock braking system (ABS) prevents wheel lockup during heavy braking, helping to maintain tire traction and steering control—especially on slippery surfaces. When wheels lock, the vehicle can skid and the driver may lose the ability to steer. ABS modulates brake pressure to preserve grip and directional stability.

The driver's reaction time is delayed by illness, fatigue, or the influence of alcohol or drugs. Distraction and poor concentration while driving also lengthen reaction time, and reaction speed typically decreases with age. RTR 14. Driving is prohibited if you are not authorized to operate the vehicle, or if you are intoxicated or under the influence of narcotic, psychotropic or other psychoactive substances. A person who is tired or ill must not drive if doing so could endanger road safety. A vehicle must not be entrusted to anyone affected by these factors or without the required authorization for that vehicle type. When operating a vehicle, the driver must comply with the requirements shown on their driving licence.

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.

Wild animals typically travel in groups. If you see a lone roe deer, deer, or wild boar, others are likely nearby. Herding instincts lead animals to cross roads together rather than individually.

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.

When turning, the driver of the red car must yield to any vehicle coming from the opposite direction on a road of equal priority that is approaching from the right (the green car). Once the red car has already entered the intersection, the green car is considered an obstacle. At intersections where the main road changes direction, the priority-to-the-right rule applies (RTR 157). When turning left or making a U-turn, a driver must yield to oncoming vehicles on an equally important road that are going straight or turning right — and, where overtaking is permitted, also to vehicles that are overtaking.

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 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.

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 77.2. Right arm extended forward: 77.2.1. Vehicles on the left side of the traffic officer may proceed in any direction; 77.2.2. Vehicles facing the traffic officer may proceed only to the right; 77.2.3. Vehicles behind the traffic officer and on the right side must not proceed; 77.2.4. Pedestrians may cross the carriageway behind the traffic officer.

RTR 94. When traveling on roads at night or in conditions of poor visibility, motor vehicles, tractors, and self‑propelled vehicles must be driven with either dipped (low‑beam) or main (high‑beam) headlamps switched on.

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.
