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.

When engine oil is low, internal components receive less lubrication, causing increased wear and overheating; this accelerates deterioration and can lead to engine failure.

Underinflated tires are the most common factor directly affecting fuel consumption; incorrect tire pressure can increase consumption by up to about 4%—both too little and too much pressure can have an effect. Check tire pressure when the tires are cold, because driving warms the rubber and raises the pressure. Carrying luggage on the roof increases aerodynamic drag and therefore fuel consumption. Frequent stop-and-go driving also increases fuel use. JB

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.

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.

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.

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

Compared with coasting (driving in neutral), driving with a gear engaged provides better control because, even without pressing the accelerator, the engine maintains steady rotational force on the driven wheels. Rapidly reducing speed during a turn can make the vehicle less stable, while increasing speed can make it harder to complete the turn smoothly due to the higher centrifugal force. Choose and maintain an appropriate speed before entering the turn.

As the ambient temperature decreases, the battery capacity of the battery decreases. A fully charged battery has a capacity of 100% at +25 °C, so at 0 °C the battery capacity will drop to 80% and at -25 °C it will be only 60%.

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.

He is allowed because the driver of the green vehicle must complete the overtaking maneuver. RTR Annex 3.1.10: A double line composed of two narrow parallel lines — one solid and one broken — separates traffic moving in opposite directions or in the same direction on road sections where lane changing is permitted only from one lane. It also marks locations for U-turns and the entrances and exits of parking areas where travel is allowed in only one direction. Drivers may cross this line from the side of the broken line, and they may also cross it from the side of the solid line only when finishing an overtaking or passing maneuver.

By selecting the appropriate heating/ventilation mode, you will reduce condensation building up on your windows; by using windscreen wipers, you will wipe fogged up window ensuring good visibility; by switching on the fog lamps, you will make the road more visible, and for other road users it will be easier to notice you. RTR 98. The fog lamps may be used only when visibility is seriously reduced, and the front ones – in the event of failure of the front left-side dipped-beam headlamp. Poor visibility shall mean a situation caused by weather conditions or other phenomena when road visibility is less than 300 meters regardless of the road parameters.

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.

Persons under 14 years of age are not permitted to ride bicycles on roads. However, those who complete an additional training course and obtain a school-issued certificate may ride on roads from age 12. Within residential areas, there is no minimum age restriction for cyclists.

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.

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.

3. Terms used in the Road Traffic Rules: 3.2. 'Give way' means that drivers must stop, or must not begin to drive or manoeuvre, if doing so would require other vehicle drivers to change their direction of travel or their speed.

Note that a motorized bicycle must have at least two wheels and an auxiliary internal combustion engine or an electric motor — it is not sufficient for it to have only an internal combustion engine. SEAK Art. 2.40. "Motorized bicycle" — a vehicle with at least two wheels that is powered by the rider’s muscular force using pedals or handlebars and is equipped with an auxiliary internal combustion engine or electric motor with a maximum net power of no more than 1 kW and a maximum design speed of no more than 25 km/h. The auxiliary engine stops providing power when the vehicle reaches 25 km/h. Wheelchairs for persons with disabilities are not classified as motorized bicycles.

Although the road sign normally prohibits overtaking, overtaking vehicles traveling at speeds under 30 km/h is permitted provided it can be done safely. Road sign 325 — “Overtaking prohibited” forbids overtaking, except for individual vehicles (or individual vehicle combinations) traveling at speeds under 30 km/h. Road sign 805 — “Validity zone ahead” indicates the length of the zone beyond the sign during which a hazardous road section or other associated signs remain in effect.

Carrying a 100 kg load in city driving increases fuel consumption by about 0.5 L per 100 km. The air conditioner consumes approximately 0.5–1.0 L/100 km; a fan consumes about 0.08–0.3 L/100 km; the radio about 0.06–0.21 L/100 km; modern audio systems about 0.2–0.7 L/100 km. JB

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.

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

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

RTR 131. The following speed limits apply outside built-up areas: 131.1. For passenger cars, goods vehicles with a maximum permissible mass up to 3.5 tonnes, motorcycles and tricycles the maximum permitted speeds are: on motorways — 130 km/h from April to October and 110 km/h from November to March; on highways — 120 km/h from April to October and 110 km/h from November to March; 90 km/h on roads with asphalt or concrete pavement; and 70 km/h on other roads. JB

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 107. When, due to a vehicle's large size or other valid reasons, it is not possible to complete a turn (turn around) from the appropriate edge position of the carriageway, the vehicle may perform the turn from a part of the carriageway other than that edge assigned for travel in that direction, provided the maneuver does not obstruct other vehicles or create a hazard for other road users. JB

RTR – 150. Standing and parking are prohibited: 150.3 on and under bridges, viaducts and flyovers — except where parking is expressly permitted by road signs indicating a parking space — and in tunnels.

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.
