What does this road marking indicate?

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.

1. Crossing this line is prohibited.

2. Crossing the line is only permitted when making a U-turn.

3. Crossing this line is allowed.

Which driver will proceed through the intersection first?

RTR 154. At a controlled intersection, drivers on a side road must yield to vehicles on the priority road.

1. The driver of the blue car.

2. The driver of the red car.

A vehicle with foreign license plates is driving ahead. What might you expect from that vehicle?

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.

1. It may make unexpected maneuvers.

2. The driver may signal too late before turning at an intersection.

3. The vehicle may stop suddenly.

Which vehicle may proceed in the direction indicated by the arrow?

RTR 77.1. When the traffic officer's arms are extended sideways or pointed downward: 77.1.1. Vehicles located to the officer's left and right may proceed straight ahead or turn right; pedestrians may cross the carriageway. 77.1.2. Vehicles and pedestrians positioned in front of or behind the officer must not proceed. JB

1. First vehicle

2. Second vehicle

3. Third vehicle

Where should you stop when you must give way to an approaching rail vehicle?

RTR 170. When yielding to an approaching rail vehicle, or whenever crossing a level crossing is prohibited, drivers must stop at the STOP line, the 'Stop' traffic sign, traffic lights, or barriers. If none of these are present, drivers must stop no nearer than 10 metres from the first rail. When a STOP line is used together with a 'Stop' sign, the driver must stop at the STOP line; if the STOP line is absent, stop at the 'Stop' sign even if a flashing white traffic light is displayed. JB

1. At the traffic lights.

2. At the first rail of the crossing.

Are people using a wheelchair considered pedestrians?

LAW ON ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY — Article 2, clause 42. "Pedestrian" means a person present on the road who is not inside a vehicle, including a person using a wheelchair, on roller/inline skates, on a skateboard or scooter, walking while leading or pushing a bicycle, moped, or motorcycle, or pulling/pushing a sledge, pram, or other type of carriage. A person performing work on the road shall not be considered a pedestrian.

1. Yes — they are considered pedestrians.

2. No — they are not considered pedestrians.

During hours of darkness or in conditions of poor visibility, a load projecting up to 1 metre beyond the side of a vehicle must be marked:

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.

1. Marked with high-visibility flags.

2. Marked with lights: white at the front, orange at the sides, and red at the rear.

3. Marking is not required.

What size handcart carrying a load that is pushed or pulled at the roadside must be equipped with reflectors?

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

1. More than 1 meter wide.

2. More than 1 meter long.

Which vehicles can turn right?

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.

1. The red vehicle.

2. The brown vehicle.

3. The blue vehicle.

What does this traffic sign indicate?

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.

1. It indicates a level crossing ahead located outside a built-up area.

2. It indicates a level crossing ahead located within a built-up area.

What factors determine the severity of aquaplaning (a layer of water that can form between the tyre and the road surface during rain on asphalt)?

When vehicle speed increases, the layer of water on the road becomes deeper. Heavier rainfall also increases the water layer during driving. On roads with a transverse crown (where the carriageway is higher in the centre), the water layer is thinner because rainwater drains off the surface toward the edges more quickly. On asphalt, a tyre can displace only as much water as the volume available in its tread.

1. Vehicle speed.

2. Rainfall intensity.

3. Tyre tread depth.

4. Tyre height.

What size distinguishing sign (maple leaf) is permitted on a vehicle driven by a novice driver?

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.

1. 100 × 100 mm.

2. 150 × 150 mm.

3. 200 × 200 mm.

4. The size of the sign does not matter.

What must a driver do when reversing?

Note: If the steering wheel is turned sharply while reversing, the front of the vehicle can swing to the side and strike obstacles or other road users. When reversing, a driver must give way to other road users.

1. The driver must give way to other road users.

2. The driver must use the horn.

3. The driver must make sure that there are no obstructions behind the vehicle.

4. Do not obstruct other road users ahead.

Cyclists must not perform any of the following:

RTR VIII. Rules for Cyclists 64. Cyclists must not: 64.1 Ride on the carriageway except in cases expressly permitted by these Rules. 64.2 Ride on motorways and expressways. 64.3 Ride without holding the handlebars with their hands. 64.4 Carry passengers if the bicycle is not fitted with a designated passenger seat. 64.5 Carry, tow, or push loads that impede control of the bicycle or pose a hazard to other road users. 64.6 Be towed by other vehicles. 64.7 Tow other vehicles, except for trailers specially designed for bicycles. 64.8 Hold on to a moving vehicle while cycling. 64.9 Cross the carriageway by riding over a pedestrian crossing. JB

1. Carrying, towing, or pushing any load that impairs control of the bicycle or endangers other road users.

2. Riding on bicycle paths after dark.

3. Riding in bicycle lanes marked on the sidewalk.

4. Riding at the edge of the carriageway during daylight hours.

What should drivers do when approaching an intersection where the green traffic light is flashing?

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.

1. Observe and take into account the actions of vehicles ahead.

2. Accelerate to the maximum allowable speed.

3. Be aware of and consider the actions of drivers behind you.

4. Reduce your speed.

Who is authorized to teach someone to drive a category B vehicle?

For more information about learning to drive with a family member: http://www.teises.lt/kaip-gauti-teises/mokymasis-vairuoti-su-seimos-nariu

1. A person who fulfills the requirements for a driving instructor and is authorized, under the prescribed procedure, to work as an instructor at a driving school.

2. A person who has passed the category B practical driving test at the state enterprise "Regitra" in accordance with the prescribed procedure.

3. A person with at least five years of category B driving experience.

4. A family member of the learner who has at least five years of category B driving experience and is not disqualified from driving.

When are drivers allowed to brake on a pedestrian crossing?

According to the Road Traffic Rules, there are no such places where drivers are prohibited from braking. Braking is necessary to ensure traffic safety; therefore, drivers brake when they need to.

1. When they want to avoid a road accident.

2. When they see the stop lamps of the vehicle travelling ahead.

3. When they want to stop after the pedestrian crossing on the right side of the road.

4. They are prohibited from braking on a pedestrian crossing in all cases.

Which exterior lights should be switched on to improve visibility on the road during darkness and when snow is blowing?

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.

1. Fog lamps used together with the main-beam (high-beam) headlamps.

2. Fog lamps used together with the dipped-beam (low-beam) headlamps.

What must the driver do when stopped by a police officer?

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

1. If requested by a police officer, present the required documents without leaving the vehicle.

2. After stopping, switch on the vehicle’s hazard warning lights.

3. Exit the vehicle and hand the documents to the officer without waiting for them to approach.

4. Pull over as far to the right as possible, onto the road shoulder or verge.

Which road sign indicates that you are approaching a level crossing equipped with a barrier?

Road sign 101 — “Level Crossing with Barrier”: indicates a level crossing protected by a barrier. Road sign 102 — “Level Crossing without Barrier”: indicates a level crossing that has no barrier. Road sign 142 — “Level Crossing Ahead”: warns of a level crossing ahead outside built-up areas; this sign is placed as close as possible to the crossing on the right-hand side of the road. Road sign 139 — “Multi-Track Railway”: indicates a level crossing without a barrier across a railway with two or more tracks.

1. 1.

2. 2.

3. 3.

Why does a car need a catalytic converter in its exhaust system?

A catalytic converter neutralises (burns) harmful exhaust gases. It converts three toxic substances—carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and unburnt hydrocarbons (UHC)—into non-toxic substances through oxidation and reduction reactions. Its purpose is not to dampen engine noise; that is the role of the muffler (silencer). Removing a catalytic converter can alter the car's exhaust sound and often makes it louder or harsher, but this is only a side effect, not the converter's primary function.

1. To reduce engine noise.

2. To neutralise harmful pollutants in the exhaust gases.

3. To reduce fuel consumption.

Which driver is violating the traffic rules?

There are no lane direction signs; therefore the driver of the red vehicle may go straight or turn right. When changing lanes, the driver of the green vehicle must yield. RTR 104. When changing lanes, a driver must yield to vehicles moving in the same direction in the adjacent lane. If vehicles moving in the same direction change lanes simultaneously, a driver must yield to the vehicle on the right, except in the cases specified in Paragraph 112 of the Rules. RTR 112. If an acceleration lane is provided for entering the road, the driver must use that lane and merge into the main traffic flow (change lanes and move into the adjacent lane), yielding to vehicles already in that flow or to vehicles changing lanes toward the deceleration lane. RTR 106. Before turning right, left, or making a U-turn (except when entering an intersection with circular traffic), a driver must move in advance to the edge of the carriageway designated for that direction. Road signs and/or road markings may indicate otherwise.

1. The driver of the red vehicle.

2. The driver of the green vehicle.

What will you do if your engine suddenly fails and stops working?

It is not prohibited to tow a vehicle if its engine fails or stops working. If the engine does not work, the brakes will work improperly since the brake servo will not work. It will also be difficult to turn the steering wheel since the power steering will not work. If a vehicle is towed using a dolly, towing is prohibited if only part of the vehicle rests on the dolly. It is allowed when the whole vehicle rests on the dolly. RTR 217. The following vehicle towing and transporting practices shall be prohibited: 217.1. towing a vehicle with a broken-down steering mechanism using a tow rope or a rigid tow bar; 217.10. carrying a vehicle with part of it resting on a dolly.

1. You will tow the vehicle using a rigid tow bar at the first opportunity.

2. You will tow the vehicle with part of it resting on a dolly.

3. You will be careful when towing the vehicle using a tow rope because the brakes and the power steering will not work properly.

If you are located to the traffic officer's right and the officer's right arm is extended forward, which directions are you permitted to proceed in?

77.2. Right arm extended forward: 77.2.1. Vehicles to the officer's left may proceed in any direction; 77.2.2. Vehicles in front of the officer may proceed only to the right; 77.2.3. Vehicles behind the officer and those on his right must not proceed.

1. To the right.

2. Straight ahead.

3. You are not permitted to proceed.

4. To the left or make a U-turn.

How should you drive when the road is covered with ice?

High speed is unsafe on icy roads because the slippery surface increases braking distance; therefore you should drive slowly. On slippery roads, also try to prevent excessive wheel slip by keeping engine revolutions low — a higher gear results in lower engine RPM. Select a gear appropriate for your speed, but ensure it is as high as possible. If you feel the vehicle beginning to skid, immediately and gently release the accelerator and do not change the clutch pedal position.

1. Drive at a low speed while using the highest gear possible.

2. Drive at a low speed while using the lowest gear.

3. Drive at a high speed while using the highest gear.

4. Drive at a high speed while using the lowest gear.

How should you behave during a long journey?

Long journeys can cause the driver to become distracted and fatigued for extended periods, which reduces reaction time and concentration and increases the risk of mistakes. It is recommended to take breaks every 1.5 to 2 hours or after driving approximately 200 kilometres. Sitting for long periods can lead to muscle tension and poor circulation, so getting out of the vehicle helps relax the body and improve well‑being. Exiting the car or opening a window to breathe fresh air can refresh the mind, restore energy and improve concentration.

1. Listen to loud music.

2. Maintain continuous conversation with your passengers to stay alert.

3. Leave the road or motorway and stop to rest; then exit the vehicle or open a window to breathe fresh air.

4. Routinely drink coffee to stay awake.

What are the common signs that a car battery is dead?

Select the signs that indicate the car battery may be dead.

1. When attempting to start the car, the starter motor does not engage or cranks very slowly.

2. When attempting to start the car, the dashboard lights dim or go out.

If, in this situation, a vehicle approaches the intersection with blue and red flashing lights and its special audible signals activated, the driver of the red car:

RTR 12. Road users must immediately yield to approaching special vehicles that are using blue-and-red (or only blue) flashing lights and special audible signals, and to vehicles escorted by them. Road users shall form an emergency corridor and yield as follows: 12.1 On a road with a single lane in one direction, drivers must stop on the right hard shoulder if available; if there is no hard shoulder, they must stop close to the right-hand edge of the carriageway. 12.2 On a road with two or more lanes in the same direction, vehicles in the far-left lane shall move as close to the left (the appropriate edge of the carriageway designated for that direction) as possible and stop; vehicles in lanes to the right of the far-left lane shall move as close to the right (toward the right-hand edge of the carriageway or the hard shoulder) as possible and stop. 12.3 On a road with a central reservation, only drivers travelling in the same direction must comply with the requirements specified in paragraphs 12.1 and 12.2. JB

1. He will proceed without yielding to anyone because he has a green light.

2. He must yield to the special vehicle.

You intend to drive straight through the junction. In this situation:

1. I will yield to the commercial vehicle.

2. I will yield to the tractor.

3. I will proceed through the junction first.

Which factor is considered the primary risk when driving on snowy roads?

1. Driver error (human factor)

2. Adverse weather conditions

3. Slippery road surface
