When you see traffic sign 636 — Automatic traffic control (part of the Advanced Traffic Management System) and you are traveling 10 km/h above the speed limit, ease off the accelerator so your speed drops to the legal limit and you avoid a possible fine. Sign 636 indicates a road section monitored by fixed automatic devices. The first version of the sign warns of devices that detect various traffic rule violations (except speed violations); the second version denotes a section where fixed devices record speed limit violations and, where technically feasible, other infringements.

RTR 17. At the request of a police officer, a driver must submit to tests for alcohol intoxication or for intoxication caused by narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, or other psychoactive substances, in the manner prescribed by the Government of the Republic of Lithuania. RTR 14. It is prohibited to drive a vehicle if you are not authorized to do so, 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 may endanger road safety. A vehicle must not be entrusted to a person who is under the influence of such factors or who is not authorized to drive that type of vehicle. When operating a vehicle, the driver must comply with the conditions specified on the driving licence. JB

Driving smoothly and in a civilised manner is important to avoid unnecessary noise. Sudden engine revs, hard braking or wheel locks make loud noises and disturb others. Knocking on doors or unnecessary use of the horn violates the principle of public order. Such actions not only cause noise pollution but also indicate irresponsible driving behaviour.

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

Road sign 334 — “No parking on odd days”. Parking is prohibited on the side of the road where this sign is placed on odd-numbered days of the month. Road sign 335 — “No parking on even days”. Parking is prohibited on the side of the road where this sign is placed on even-numbered days of the month. When signs 334 and 335 are installed on both sides of the road, vehicles must be moved from one side to the other between 19:00 and 24:00 (7:00 pm–12:00 am); during that interval, parking is permitted on either side of the road.

Passengers may board or alight from the roadway side only when it is impossible to do so from the pavement (sidewalk) or hard shoulder, and only if it can be done safely without obstructing other road users.

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.

You cannot overtake on the right because you are on a narrow road. Overtaking on the right of a vehicle that is turning left is permitted only if there is sufficient space on the carriageway. RTR 136. Drivers are advised to avoid unnecessary overtaking maneuvers. Before overtaking, drivers must exercise extra caution and ensure that: 136.1 none of the drivers behind has already begun to overtake; 136.2 the driver of the vehicle to be overtaken is not indicating a left turn; 136.3 the portion of lane required for overtaking is clear and the maneuver will not obstruct oncoming vehicles or pedestrians using the carriageway; 136.4 a safe distance from the vehicle being overtaken will be maintained during the maneuver; 136.5 after overtaking they will be able to return to the same traffic lane safely without obstructing the overtaken vehicle. RTR 137. If the vehicle in front is indicating a left turn and has changed lanes to make that left turn (or to turn around), vehicles following must pass the turning vehicle on the right or wait until it leaves the traffic lane.

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

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.

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.

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 92. If the emergency warning light system is not fitted or is defective and an emergency stop is required where stopping or parking is prohibited, in the event of an accident, or where the stopped vehicle would be visible to other road users from less than 100 metres, the driver of a motor vehicle (other than a motor moped or a motorcycle without a trailer), a tractor, or a self-propelled machine must immediately place an emergency stop sign on the carriageway side opposite to the direction of travel: in settlements, not closer than 25 m, and outside settlements, not closer than 50 m from the stopped vehicle. If at least one rear position lamp is defective and the hazard warning lights do not work while driving in darkness or poor visibility, an emergency stop sign must be attached to the rear of the vehicle in order to continue driving. RTR 151. When a vehicle is forced to stop where standing or parking is forbidden, drivers must switch on hazard warning lights if available and/or place a warning triangle on the road as specified in Paragraph 92 of the Rules, and remove the vehicle from the road as soon as possible. If drivers intend to stop on unlit road sections at night or in poor visibility and hazard warning lights are unavailable or inoperable, the vehicle must be parked off the carriageway. If this is impossible, the place must be marked as specified in Paragraph 92 of the Rules. JB

3.3. Clutch control: 3.3.3. Keep the clutch lever depressed only for the time necessary to engage, change, or disengage a gear, to start moving, to stop, or to maneuver at low speed;

Technical requirements for vehicles operated on a road, Chapter IV, Paragraph 22: If fog lamps are fitted, they must only be capable of being switched on and off using an appropriate switch when the position lamps are switched on. Additionally, fog lamps must be capable of being switched off independently of any other lights.

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.

Children close to the road can behave unpredictably. Exercise extreme caution when driving near them — they may run into the carriageway without looking and may not respond to a horn.

If you discover that the horn is not working, you may drive only to a parking area or a repair facility. However, it is prohibited to operate a vehicle permanently if it does not meet the technical requirements (for example, if the horn, speedometer, or other required systems are not functioning). RTR 223. Vehicles traveling on roads must comply with the technical requirements applicable in the Republic of Lithuania when undergoing mandatory technical inspection. RTR 224. Only motor vehicles and trailers that are in good repair, except in the cases provided for in these Rules, may participate in public traffic in the Republic of Lithuania. Short-term (one-day) participation in public traffic is allowed, pursuant to the prescribed procedure, for vehicles and trailers displaying temporary license plates whose registered owners (keepers) have obtained compulsory motor third-party liability insurance and have paid the applicable fees and taxes for the vehicle or road use. RTR 15. Driving vehicles that are not in proper condition and do not comply with technical requirements for vehicles is prohibited. Before starting to drive, the driver of a motor vehicle, tractor, or self-propelled vehicle must ensure that the vehicle is in good condition, that it carries a warning triangle, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, and any other items mandatory for that type of vehicle, and must monitor the vehicle's technical condition during the journey. If the vehicle breaks down while driving and therefore does not meet the technical requirements and cannot be repaired on site, the driver may proceed, taking all necessary precautions, to the nearest parking area or vehicle repair shop, except in the cases laid down in paragraph 234 of these Rules. JB

RTR p. 197. Seat belts must be worn over the shoulder and across the lap, or in the manner specified by the vehicle manufacturer. JB

RTR XVI.140.

JB

When a wheel travels through standing water, the vehicle can aquaplane (ride on a layer of water), causing loss of traction and possible skidding. Hold the steering wheel firmly and gradually reduce speed to regain traction and maintain control.

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;

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.

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

If the red battery warning light illuminates while the engine is running, it indicates the alternator (generator) has failed and the battery is not being charged.

3.17 Choosing a safe distance: operate the vehicle so that: 3.17.3. the distance to other vehicles, whether moving or stationary, is safe relative to any parked vehicle — maintain sufficient clearance to prevent parked vehicles or other obstacles from causing interference. When the vehicle is parked in a parking space, the lateral clearance should permit opening the vehicle's doors.

When driving beside a line of parked vehicles, watch for pedestrians who may step out into the road, drivers exiting their cars, and vehicle doors opening unexpectedly — any of these can cause a collision. 148. The doors of a parked vehicle must not be opened if doing so could create an obstruction or a hazard to other road users.

LAW ON ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY, Article 2, item 43. Intoxication — the state of a person who has consumed ethyl alcohol, when the concentration of that alcohol in the body's biological media (exhaled air, blood, urine, saliva or other bodily fluids) exceeds the legal limit. The maximum permitted concentration of ethyl alcohol in the exhaled air, blood, urine, saliva or other bodily fluids of persons driving vehicles is 0.4 per mille. Novice drivers, taxi drivers, and drivers of mopeds, motorcycles, tricycles, light quadricycles, four-wheel power quadricycles, vehicles with a maximum permissible weight over 3.5 t or with more than 9 seats, and drivers transporting dangerous goods are considered intoxicated when the concentration of ethyl alcohol in their exhaled air, blood, urine, saliva or other bodily fluids is greater than 0 per mille. JB

If the road surface is slippery or the engine delivers strong torque and the revs increase abruptly, the driven wheels can spin. When the driven wheels are at the rear, the rear axle may lose traction; when they are at the front, the front axle may lose traction, which can cause the vehicle to lose stability and skid.
