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.

Under Article 23 of the Law on Road Traffic Safety, there are two ways to obtain a category A (motorcycle) driving licence. You may obtain category A from the age of 24 without prior experience. Alternatively, from the age of 20 you may obtain category A if you have at least two years' qualifying experience riding category A2 motorcycles. The two-year A2 experience requirement does not apply to applicants aged 24 or older. Separately, the right to drive tricycles (three-wheelers) with power exceeding 15 kW is granted from the age of 21.

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

Drivers should be prepared for unexpected behavior from children at pedestrian crossings. When children act predictably and responsibly, it improves road safety.

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.

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.

Heavy rain forms a layer of water on the asphalt surface (especially where longitudinal ruts are pressed), which is not able to drain so quickly to the side of the road. If we drive fast in such conditions, the tire tread can't squeeze the layer of water formed on the road from under the wheel and the so-called aquaplaning (water wedge) begins. In other words, the car's wheels no longer touch or have a worse grip on the asphalt surface and the car can become out of control. JB

LAW ON ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY — Article 22(12). Persons aged 24 or older who have at least two years' driving experience with a category B licence and who have completed practical training for category A1 vehicles in accordance with the procedure established by the Ministry of Transport and Communications or its authorised institution are granted the right to drive category A1 vehicles within the territory of the Republic of Lithuania.

Driver competencies - category B: A vehicle will begin to skid when the tires lose traction with the road surface. This may occur on inclines, slopes, or in strong crosswinds.

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.

Braking with uneven tire wear between the left and right sides is dangerous because it can cause the vehicle to slide off the road and overturn.

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

RTR 144. Vehicles must stop and park on the carriageway in a single line. RTR 145. Motorcycles without a sidecar, mopeds, bicycles, and electric micromobility devices may be parked in two lines provided such parking does not obstruct traffic.

It is prohibited to drive a vehicle if the main brake is inoperative, as this creates a danger to road safety. According to technical requirements, tyres mounted on the same axle must be of the same type and have identical tread patterns. Tyres with different tread patterns can cause instability under braking and reduce traction, creating a road safety risk; therefore driving such a vehicle is prohibited. RTR 234. A driver must not operate a motor vehicle, a tractor, or a self-propelled machine with: 234.1. a defective foot brake (the driver cannot stop the vehicle); 234.2. a defective steering mechanism (the driver cannot control the vehicle); 234.3. a defective coupling device between the vehicle and a trailer; 234.4. a defective windscreen wiper on the driver's side in snow, rain, or fog; 234.5. faulty front left-side lamps (dipped-beam headlamp and fog lamp) during hours of darkness or when visibility is poor, or if at least one rear position lamp has failed, hazard warning lights are not functioning (or are switched off), or a warning triangle is not affixed to the rear of the vehicle.

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.

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

Explanation of terms: • To brake – means pressing the brake pedal; the car quickly slows down and stops before the expected obstacle. • To release the accelerator pedal – means taking your foot off the gas; the car gradually slows down on its own but does not stop completely, it keeps moving. • To drive without changing speed – means pressing the gas pedal the same amount; the car continues moving at a constant speed. RTR 127. Drivers must not exceed the permissible speed limit. A driver must select the driving speed in accordance with the driving conditions, in particular the terrain, the condition of the road and the vehicle including the load, weather conditions, traffic heaviness so that he could safely stop the vehicle before any predictable obstruction. The driver must slow down and stop if the driving circumstances require so, in particular when visibility is poor. RTR 135. Drivers must not: 135.2. exceed the speed limit specified on the vehicle marking plate;  135.3. drive too slowly without reason and hinder the normal traffic of other road users;  135.4. slow down abruptly for other than safety reasons.

The correct action is to apply the brakes and release the accelerator pedal, because you must be prepared to stop if necessary. Road sign 203 — "Give Way" — indicates that drivers must yield to vehicles travelling on the road being crossed. If supplementary panel No. 843 "Direction of Priority Road" is mounted beneath the sign, you must yield to vehicles on the priority road.

The function of a vehicle suspension system is to convert bumps and shocks transmitted to the wheels, with the aid of shock absorbers, into minor oscillations of the vehicle body, providing comfort for driver and passengers. The suspension reduces body oscillations, and when functioning properly it enhances driving safety.

Braking distance depends on the condition of the tyres, the vehicle's speed, the road surface, the vehicle's weight, the force applied to the brake pedal, and the condition of the braking system. Less worn tyres provide more effective braking. Lower speeds reduce stopping distance. Heavier vehicles require a longer distance to stop. Rougher road surfaces increase traction and therefore shorten stopping distance. Applying greater pressure to the brake pedal generally shortens stopping distance, provided you avoid locking the wheels.

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

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 196. The driver and all passengers must wear seat belts when the vehicle is equipped with them. If a bus is fitted with seat belts, visible notices 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—verbally or by audio‑visual means—about the requirement to wear seat belts before the journey begins. RTR 197. A seat belt must be fastened over the shoulder and around the waist, or as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.

The field of vision is affected by driving speed, visual acuity (e.g., short-sightedness), fatigue, the color and brightness of objects, their contrast with the background, and other factors. As speed increases, a driver’s area of attention narrows and shifts forward: although drivers tend to look farther ahead, the effective dimensions of attention decrease inversely with speed. For example, at 50 km/h it is usually sufficient to focus about 150 m ahead to detect an obstacle; at 140 km/h an oncoming vehicle may not be noticed until it is only 15–20 m from the point of passing.

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.

There is a minimum age requirement to operate a motorized bicycle, but no driving test or driving licence is required. LAW ON ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY I 2. 40. Motorized bicycle - a vehicle with at least two wheels that is propelled by the rider's muscular effort using pedals or handlebars and equipped with an auxiliary internal combustion engine or electric motor with a maximum net power not exceeding 1 kW and a maximum design speed not exceeding 25 km/h. The auxiliary engine ceases to provide power when the vehicle reaches 25 km/h. Wheelchairs for persons with disabilities are not classified as motorized bicycles. RTR 55. Persons older than 14 are permitted to ride bicycles on the carriageway; if they have completed the training course established by the Ministry of Education, Science, and Sport of the Republic of Lithuania and hold a certificate issued by the school, the minimum age is 12. Persons over 8 may ride bicycles on the carriageway under adult supervision. No age limit is established for cyclists within a residential area. RTR 66. Drivers of motorized bicycles must also comply with the rules and requirements applicable to cyclists.
