• ✅ Lack of concentration
• ✅ Driving mistakes
• ✅ Microsleep

You should not ignore the first signs of fatigue, such as diminishing concentration, as you may be overwhelmed by microsleep. This, in turn, often leads to severe, sometimes even life-threatening driving errors.

• ✅ Limits awareness
• ✅ Delays reactions
• ✅ Decreases alertness

Fatigue at the wheel increases the risk of accidents for the following reasons: With concentration, attention decreases noticeably; perception is limited, reaction significantly delayed.

• ✅ Get out of the car and move around in the fresh air
• ✅ Take a break straightaway
• ❌ Listen to stimulating music

Since fatigue during a car journey can lead to dangerous situations, you should plan sufficient breaks for longer distances. During this recovery phase, it is advisable to take a walk in the fresh air to get your circulation back on track.

• ✅ After he/she can be shown to have stopped taking drugs for at least one year and is not likely to have a relapse
• ❌ If he/she has not taken drugs for six months
• ❌ If he/she has not taken drugs for one month

Anyone who was caught driving under the influence of drugs had to hand in his driver's license. If he is a drug addict, the person must live drug-free for a full year before he can get back his driving license. Proof of this is given by the Appraisal Body (Ger. Begutachterstelle für Fahreignung (BfF)) in form of a report.

• ❌ Evenly, 0.1 gram per hour
• ❌ Evenly, 0.1 per mille per hour
• ✅ Unevenly over an indeterminate period

Drugs such as hashish are not broken down evenly in the body - unlike alcohol, for example. Therefore, no reliable prediction can be made in this regard.

• ✅ 10 hours
• ❌ 5 hours
• ❌ 1 hour

The rule of thumb is: 0.1 permille is being broken down per hour. After 10 hours, 1.0 permille are completely degraded.

• ✅ Alcohol and other intoxicants
• ✅ Certain medicines
• ✅ Fatigue

Anything that negatively affects the sense organs can reduce the ability to drive. In addition to drugs, this includes medications, so you should read the package leaflet before taking them. At a blood alcohol level of 0.3 permille, you are already unfit to drive. Fatigue is one of the most common causes of accidents. Here your attention and concentration cease, and this can lead to so-called microsleep.

• ✅ Downing alcoholic drinks in one
• ✅ Drinking on an "empty" stomach
• ✅ Sleeping pills, pain killers or sedatives

The effect of alcohol is enhanced by medication. Especially large amounts of alcohol in combination with sleeping pills, painkillers or tranquilizers can be life-threatening. If you drink alcohol on an empty stomach or consume a large amount of alcohol in a short period of time, the alcohol enters your blood immediately: you are suddenly dead drunk.

• ✅ Impairment of hearing and vision
• ✅ Delayed reactions
• ✅ Reckless driving

Even small amounts of alcohol affect your central nervous system and worsen your perception: your hearing and vision, your ability to react and perform, your sense of balance. Your willingness to take risks increases, dangers are no longer recognized by you. You think you are roadworthy, even if that is not true.

• ✅ Distraction
• ✅ Tiredness
• ✅ Inattention

Drivers often leave the road due to inattention or lack of concentration. Distractions, such as using a mobile phone, can also lead to such driving errors. A third reason for leaving the road is fatigue combined with microsleep.

• ✅ Dependence, addiction
• ❌ Prolonged improvement in physical and mental capabilities
• ✅ Intoxication

Drug substances affect the central nervous system and distort sensory perception. Although you will feel more efficient under the influence of drugs, your real performance will be reduced and makes you unable to drive. Compared to other intoxicants, drugs are more addictive.

• ✅ Intoxication with dangerous hallucination and reduced reaction capability
• ❌ Improved judgement of time
• ✅ Intoxication with confusion and depression

The consumption of hashish leads to intoxication in which the sense of time and space is lost. The attention is lowered, the perception of the environment clearly obscured. It can lead to misperceptions and states of confusion as well as hallucinations.

• ❌ Quicker reaction time
• ✅ Heavy eyelids
• ✅ Frequent yawning

Fatigue while driving leads to longer reaction times and reduced attention. One of the signs of exhaustion is excessive yawning. You will also notice a lack of sleep as you find it increasingly difficult to keep your eyes open.

• ✅ LSD
• ✅ Hashish, marijuana
• ✅ Heroin, cocaine, amphetamines

Even drug consumption in small quantities leads to temporary inactivity. Unlike alcohol, there are no limits on drugs. Driving under the influence of drugs can mean losing your driving license.

• ✅ Confiscation of driving licence or driving ban
• ✅ Fine and/or imprisonment
• ✅ Compulsory medical/psychological examination

Driving a vehicle under the influence of drugs such as hashish, cocaine or heroin may result in: withdrawal of the license, a fine and/or imprisonment. Imprisonment may amount to up to five years if other persons were endangered. In order to get your driving license back, you have to undergo a medical-psychological assessment (MPA).

• ✅ Because of the possible sudden onset of fatigue
• ✅ Because it is possible to over-estimate personal capabilities
• ✅ Because of the possibility of experiencing hallucinations

"Crystal Meth" has a negative effect on the driving ability for the following reasons: The drug causes delusions. It caters the overestimation of one's own performance and sudden exhaustion. Even the consumption of small amounts makes you unfit for driving.

• ✅ Because the field of vision of the eyes is reduced
• ✅ Because the three-dimensional perception is diminished
• ❌ Because the reaction time is reduced

Even small amounts of alcohol have a negative effect on vision, responsiveness and perception. The willingness for hasty actions increases and the estimation of distances as well as attention declines.

• ❌ I drive off, in order to distract myself from my anger
• ❌ I try to reach my destination quickly, so that I can calm down there
• ✅ I only drive off, once I have calmed down again

Getting into the car angrily can negatively affect your driving style. If you are angry, your driving style is also aggressive and limited. Therefore, only get into your vehicle when you're abreacted.

• ❌ - 3 years
• ❌ - 2 years
• ✅ - 5 years

Registered misdemeanors, which have been scored and entered in Register of Driver Fitness with two points, become statute-barred after five years. Serious violations are always punished with two points.

• ❌ Several days at most
• ❌ Only for a few hours
• ✅ For some weeks

Cannabis and its breakdown products are traceable in your urine for a period between ten days and three months after consumption. The exact amount of time depends on the consumption frequency and the accuracy of the test.

• ✅ - to the next stopping place, in order to calm myself down
• ❌ - to my destination, so that I can recover my composure

You should calm down first. Because your restlessness can have a negative effect on your driving style. Find a place to stop and relax. Afterwards you may continue the journey.

• ✅ Gymnastic exercises during stops
• ❌ Drink coffee and make no stops
• ✅ By well-timed and sufficient stops for rests

Timely breaks prevent overfatigue. Gymnastic exercises during the break pep up the circulation and are good for the joints. Coffee has only a short-term mobilizing effect, which can then quickly turn into the opposite. That means you could fall asleep without warning.

• ✅ - can result in my unfitness to drive
• ✅ - can cause faulty perceptions
• ✅ - can result in an intoxication state lasting for several hours

Drugs usually cause perceptual disorders. Even the one-time use of drugs can lead to a high lasting several hours. You as a consumer would be unfit to drive.

• ✅ I may be distracted by the call
• ✅ I may be distracted through operating the telephone
• ❌ Telephoning using a hands-free unit does not distract me

Being on the phone or operating a telephone while driving distracts the driver. Even if you're using a hands-free kit, you'll need to keep in mind that some of your senses are distracted and you cannot focus entirely on driving.

• ✅ Lighting a cigarette
• ✅ Telephoning
• ✅ Nagging children on the backseats

Telephoning while driving is only allowed via a hands-free system. Even then it is still a distraction. The lighting of a cigarette is considered a strong distraction, as it directs the view from the roadway to the cigarette. Whining children and passengers can be very distracting, if necessary, take a pause.

• ✅ Increased likelihood of mistakes in assimilating information
• ✅ Diminished awareness of danger
• ✅ Misjudgement of speed and distance

The use of hashish puts the user in a state of intoxication in which the ability to assess risks is lost. The feeling for time and place is lost and hallucinations as well as misperceptions can be the result. Distances and speeds can no longer be estimated correctly. The willingness to take risks as well as the tendency to misjudgments are increasing rapidly.

• ✅ Strong emotions (e.g. delight, annoyance, impatience)
• ✅ Engrossing programs on the car radio
• ✅ Animated conversation

All external stimuli such as joy, anger, interesting things on the radio and lively conversations can negatively affect the attention while driving, as they can be distracting.

• ✅ I need to have a hands-free unit
• ❌ I may use the telephone without a hands-free, if the vehicle is moving at walking pace
• ✅ I may use the telephone without a hands-free unit, if the vehicle is parked in a suitable place, and the engine is fully switched off

While driving, you're only allowed to use the speaker phone. If you do not have a hands-free kit, you must drive to a suitable location and stop the engine completely. Only then you are allowed to use your mobile phone. To use your phone while driving without hands-free equipment is a serious offense, a so-called A-offense, with high penalties.

• ✅ I drive with a lower level of concentration
• ✅ I will become tired more quickly
• ❌ I make fewer driving errors

After a long day at work, you are usually not fully productive and get tired faster. That's why mistakes while driving can increase and your concentration decreases.

• ✅ Blind people lose their orientation when they are near the car
• ❌ It makes it easier for blind people to recognise where the road is
• ✅ The driver’s attention is significantly impaired

Loud music in the car leads to two negative effects: The driver is distracted by the music and he cannot concentrate on the road. Deep basses in particular lead to strong uncertainty in blind road users. These can lose their orientation, especially with low-frequency music.

• ✅ - to drive through the traffic lights even when red
• ✅ - to reduce the safety
• ✅ - to exceed the speed

Even if you are under time pressure, you must follow the traffic rules. This also means that you comply with the speed limits. After all, excessive speed is THE main cause of accidents.

• ✅ Signals from other traffic - in particular sirens - are not heard
• ✅ Driving errors due to the driver being diverted
• ✅ There is noise pollution for others even when the windows are closed

"Power sound" in the car causes over-stimulation. This over-stimulation may distract the car driver so that he/she may miss important other signals. Bear in mind that other road users are also bothered by the noise.

• ❌ It reduces sensitivity to glare
• ✅ It reduces the awareness of other traffic
• ✅ It reduces the ability to concentrate on driving

After cannabis use your perception is clouded and your ability to concentrate decreases.

• ✅ Medications
• ❌ Soft drinks
• ✅ Drugs

Alcohol, drugs and medicines have a negative impact on our response time, inhibitions and our motor skills.

• ✅ Happiness and exuberance
• ✅ Anger and rage
• ✅ Worry and sorrow

Strong emotions such as anger, fear and sadness as well as joy and exuberance usually influence the driving behavior. They distract the car driver from the road and often lead to risky, aggressive or over-cautious driving. Only when you're calm and balanced you should participate in traffic.

• ✅ I remain calm in order to avoid conflicts
• ✅ I brake in order to ensure that the safety distance is again established
• ❌ I flash my headlights in order to call attention to the impediment

The car driver in the overtaking vehicle shows a misconduct that should not disturb you. Stay calm, do not honk and do not turn on the flash light. Decelerate slightly and restore the required safety distance between the vehicles.

• ❌ - the discussion
• ✅ - my driving

You should not be distracted while driving. If your passenger wants to discuss with you, you should stop the journey.

• ✅ He avoids driving when tired
• ❌ He is assertive towards other road traffic
• ✅ He anticipates the mistakes of other road users

A responsible car driver expects mistakes from other road users and does not sit behind the wheel while he/she is very tired or cannot control his/her feelings. Furthermore, he/she does not always insist on his right and cannot be distracted.

• ❌ Caution
• ✅ Distraction
• ✅ Aggressiveness

Anything that could negatively affect your safe driving should be avoided. Besides distractions, this also includes aggressiveness. If you're upset, do not get behind the wheel immediately afterwards.

• ✅ Difficulties staying in lane
• ✅ Yawning frequently
• ✅ Difficulty keeping your eyes open

Brief microsleep often causes devastating accidents. If you have to yawn frequently, can barely keep your eyes open, or have trouble keeping your lane, you should stop your journey and take a rest.

• ✅ I totally ignore this behaviour
• ❌ I accept the challenge, but without exceeding 50 km/h
• ❌ I get out and confront the driver

Don't be provoked and stay calm. Since road races are strictly prohibited, you should not pay attention to this behavior.

• ✅ Composing a text message
• ✅ Telephoning even with the hands-free unit
• ✅ Entering an address in the sat-nav

All three activities distract the car driver from traffic during the journey. The car driver might not be able to recognize dangerous situation in time.

• ✅ Nothing can achieve this
• ❌ By drinking two cups of coffee
• ❌ By doing 15 minutes of sport

Since alcohol in the body breaks down very slowly, you can use the driving ability in the short term by nothing to restore.

• ✅ The loss of my insurance cover
• ✅ An entry into the Central Register of Road Traffic Offenders
• ✅ A public authority fine

If you use your vehicle on public roads despite the expiry of the operating license, you lose your insurance protection and commit an administrative offence. A stop-and-search operation by the police will impose a fine and you will have to expect an entry in the register of driver fitness.

• ❌ - forward the inspection report or confirmation to the vehicle manufacturer
• ❌ - stick the inspection report or confirmation into the designated place in the registration certificate Part II
• ✅ - carry the inspection report or confirmation in my vehicle, and have the registration in certificate Part I corrected if necessary

After the technical modification of a vehicle, an acceptance report is usually created during the assessment. However, an entry may also be made in part 1 of the certificate of registration. The protocol must be carried by the vehicle driver during each journey. On request, the protocol must be presented, for example, during a stop-and-search operation.

• ✅ Hand over the vehicle registration certificate (Fahrzeugschein) and vehicle registration book (Fahrzeugbrief) or permit for use (Betriebserlaubnis) to the buyer against receipt
• ✅ Inform the registration centre immediately of the buyer's name and address
• ❌ Remove the test stamp from the official registration plate

If you have sold your licensed vehicle and received the payment, proceed as follows: 1. You hand over all vehicle documents to the new vehicle owner in exchange for a confirmation of receipt. 2. You report the name and address of the vehicle buyer to the admission office. This way, you protect yourself from unjustified claims that could be caused by traffic violations on the part of the new owner. 3. The inspection plate remains on the vehicle.

• ✅ The date indicated on the test stamp must be observed
• ❌ The date indicated on the test stamp is extended by the time the caravan was stationary on the campground

Even if you have parked your caravan on a campsite, you must meet the deadline for the general inspection. Technical defects, such as rust, can occur at any time and become a safety hazard if they're not repaired.

• ✅ - notify the licensing authority of the change in ownership
• ✅ - present the licensing authority with proof of the existence of liability insurance for the vehicle
• ❌ - generally arrange for a vehicle roadworthiness test to be performed at the time of the change of ownership

When replacing the owner, you do not need to carry out a general inspection. You must inform the vehicle licensing authority that the owner changed and provide them with a third-party liability insurance.

• ❌ Together with the next official inspection (Hauptuntersuchung), at least 1 year after the alteration
• ❌ When requested by the vehicle licensing authority
• ✅ Immediately after the alteration

If you lower a car you need this change on the chassis to be officially accepted. Therefore, the assessment must be done immediately. You must always carry the report or confirmation with you and, if necessary, have this technical change registered in the certificate of registration part 1, the registration certificate.

• ❌ By reading the entry in the operating manual for my vehicle
• ✅ By looking at the inspection tag on the rear license plate
• ✅ By reading the entry made in the registration certificate Part I

The date for the next main inspection of your vehicle can be found in the certificate of registration part 1. In addition, the appointment is clearly visible on the inspection plate printed on your license plate.

• ✅ - my home address
• ✅ - my name
• ❌ - my third-party insurance

If you change your name or place of residence, you must notify the vehicle licensing authority. However, you do not have to report the change in your liability insurance.

• ✅ The motor vehicle must be roadworthy
• ❌ I must be the vehicle owner
• ✅ The motor vehicle must be covered by liability insurance

You may only use a vehicle on public roads if it is roadworthy and if there is liability insurance for the vehicle.

• ✅ They must be securely attached at the appropriate places
• ✅ They must always be easily legible
• ✅ The rear registration plates must be lit up in darkness

For license numbers, it is important that they are placed in the required place. In addition, they must be easy to read and illuminated in the dark.

• ✅ - must be de-registered at the registration centre
• ✅ - may no longer be used in road traffic
• ❌ - must be submitted to the registration centre

Without a valid liability insurance, a car is not ready to drive and therefore may not participate in public transport. The liability insurance serves to regulate damage that you may be able to inflict on other vehicles. Irrespective of the financial circumstances of the injuring party, compensation for the injured party is thus guaranteed. If there is no liability insurance, the holder must deregister the car at the admission office. Failure to comply with this rule will result in a penalty.

• ✅ My driving licence
• ✅ The registration certificate Part I (Motor Vehicle Registration)
• ❌ The registration certificate Part II (Motor Vehicle Title)

As a car driver, you must always have your driver's license and vehicle registration certificate (certificate of registration part 1) with you. The vehicle title (registration certificate part 2) should be kept safely at home. It serves as proof of ownership and is not needed while driving.

• ✅ Nothing
• ❌ Attach coloured stickers
• ❌ Attach a protective foil for the lettering

A license number is an official document, which may not be altered in any way. Therefore, do not attach any foils or stickers to your license plate.

• ❌ Avoid the uneven patches by making sudden steering wheel movements

• ✅ Reduce your speed

• ❌ Increase your speed

The road in front of you is uneven and may have diagonal or longitudinal grooves. This sign warns against them. You cannot only get into a skid in damp and cold weather. Avoid fast steering movements.

• ✅ I respond as soon as possible to probable changes in the road traffic situation
• ✅ I attempt to identify the intentions of other road users, as soon as possible
• ❌ I limit my observation of road traffic as much as possible on the vehicle travelling directly in front of me

Driving with foresight is essential when it comes to road safety. You should always keep an eye on cars driving directly in front of you so that you can react immediately if necessary. The same applies to all road users in your vicinity.

• ✅ - drive with foresight
• ✅ - reckon with improper conduct on the part of others
• ❌ - insist on your right of priority at all times

Always count on the mistakes of others as well as your own. Stick to an anticipatory driving style at all times and do not insist on your right of way in any case. This would violate the principles of traffic regulations and endanger other road users.

• ✅ Drive as far as possible over on the right-hand side

• ✅ Reduce your speed

• ❌ Accelerate strongly immediately after the right bend

The sign warns you of a double bend. First expect a right turn, then a left turn. You could drive onto the oncoming lane. Adjust your speed and drive far to the right to avoid collision with oncoming traffic.

• ✅ - may switch on the direction indicators too late before turning
• ✅ - could stop unexpectedly to ask the way
• ✅ - could brake unexpectedly

If you identify a foreign road user using the license plate, you must reckon with unexpected maneuvers due to his lack of local knowledge. For example, the driver might stop on an open road to ask a passerby for directions. It is also possible that the driver may be late in recognizing the correct route and may, therefore, brake or blink late in front of bends, junctions, and exits.

• ✅ Be ready to brake

• ❌ Observe the traffic coming from the right only

• ✅ Reduce speed

This traffic sign alerts you about an approaching, confusing intersection or T-junction. You should slow down your speed and be ready to brake, since the right road user has priority here. You should also pay close attention to the traffic on the left, since you have to expect that it will not fulfill its obligation to wait and possibly ignore your right of way. Adjust your speed so that you can see the traffic coming from the right and, if necessary, brake without any problems.

This is a warning sign and it warns drivers of an imminent narrowing of the road. You have to expect oncoming traffic and behave as follows: Reduce your speed and refrain from overtaking maneuvers. Stopping in front of the bottleneck is only required if an oncoming vehicle is already in the bottleneck. Instead of a specific priority, zip merging applies, according to which the drivers are merging into the lane.

The road in front of you has an increased risk of skidding when it's wet or dirty. You should reduce your speed and not brake or steer abruptly.

• ✅ Allowing for other people's mistakes
• ✅ Not insisting on your rights
• ❌ Stopping as a precaution at every crossroads

Defensive driving means that, on the one hand, you do not insist on your prerogative in road traffic and, on the other hand, you also consider the potential mistakes of other road users. Therefore, you do not have to drive too cautiously - this could be a danger in itself and hinder the flow of traffic. Driving defensively means preparing yourself as well as possible for hazards that may emanate from you or threaten you from the outside, and thus averting them in good time. You can do this, for example, by braking early enough to avoid a rear-end collision in front of a traffic light. Generally slowing down protects you from drivers who, in the heat of the moment, misjudge a traffic light phase or confuse left and right.

• ✅ The load could be damaged

• ✅ The vehicle could go into a skid and endanger oncoming traffic

• ✅ The vehicle could suffer a broken axle or spring fracture

Due to inappropriate driving there is a risk of skidding on this section of the route with endangerment of oncoming traffic. The route is uneven with possible diagonal and longitudinal grooves. This means that your tires will have lower grip. You need to throttle your speed in order to be able to steer the vehicle safely.

The sign warns of danger ahead. Expect the dangerous area outside of built-up areas at a distance of 150 - 250 m. Reduce your speed and drive with increased attention.

• ❌ To taxi drivers
• ✅ To persons with obvious disabilities
• ✅ To children

You must be particularly careful towards the following road users: all those who are not or are no longer able to cope with the demands of road traffic. This means that the principle of trust is abolished, due diligence towards children, elderly and/or frail people, disabled or drunk cyclists is up to you.

• ✅ Stalling the engine in dense traffic
• ✅ Motor vehicles breaking down because they have run out of fuel
• ✅ Vehicles proceeding too slowly for no good reason

One avoidable obstacle to road traffic is stalling the engine. This is, above all, a beginner's mistake, which in the worst case, can lead to a rear-end collision. However, this can easily be remedied by practicing on remote roads. Besides, according to road traffic regulations, every vehicle must be refueled in good time to prevent it from stopping. Finally, it is also your duty as a driver to drive at an appropriate speed, i.e., never so slowly without reason, that you could obstruct traffic and provoke an accident.

• ✅ A work site, commencing at a distance of approximately 100 m

When there's a construction site it is to be expected that construction site vehicles and workers can come very close to flowing traffic. Also building materials and tools could be on the road. Even if the construction site is not operated at the moment, a soiled road is to be expected. There is a risk of slipping and skidding.

Due to the additional sign, the maximum permissible speed of 60 km/h applies only in wet conditions. Decrease the speed of your vehicle accordingly, if the entire roadway is covered with a thin film of water and therefore counts as wet. If the road is dry or only damp, you are also allowed to drive faster than 60 km/h as a car driver.

On priority roads outside of built-up areas, you may: 1. wait at the right side of the road; 2. park on a hard shoulder. On the other hand, parking on the road is prohibited. Parking vehicles constitute a hindrance and/or danger to flowing traffic, since vehicles are traveling much faster here than within the closed local area. Since a hard shoulder is not considered a lane, you may use it for parking. If there is a possibility to dodge on a hard shoulder, you should also use this for waiting shortly.

In this situation, as a car driver you have to pay attention to the cyclist who approaches you from the right. The cyclist could drive onto the road in front of the truck, causing a dangerous situation.

• ✅ Cutting corners
• ✅ Dipping your headlights too late
• ❌ Driving too far behind the vehicle in front

When cutting a corner, the vehicle in the curve is directed inward and the opposite lane is used as well in order to progress faster. This represents a serious threat to oncoming traffic and can lead to serious accidents. Dimming too late can also jeopardize oncoming drivers as they are dazzled and drive almost blindly.

• ✅ I stay in the middle lane and slow down

• ❌ I move to the right-hand lane and slow down

• ❌ I move into the left-hand lane and overtake the red car in front of me

Stay on the middle lane and delay. The leading car will also delay soon to let the car on the left lane merge into traffic, because this lane ends. You cannot go to the left, changing to the right lane would be too dangerous as well.

• ✅ I must allow the pedestrians to cross the road

• ✅ I may not remain stationary on the pedestrian crossing if the traffic backs up

• ✅ I must approach at a moderate speed if it is clear that pedestrians want to cross the road

On pedestrian crossings pedestrians have precedence, so vehicles should always drive at moderate speed and be ready to brake at any time. There's a strict restriction on overtaking at pedestrian crossings and with halting traffic it is forbidden to come to a stop at the crossing.

• ❌ A road closed to vehicle traffic

• ✅ A cul-de-sac

Caution of congestion: With this traffic sign you should reduce the speed of your car and increase the distance to the vehicle in front. Get a better picture of the situation by watching the traffic in front of the next vehicle and, if necessary, drive a bit offset in the lane. Turn on your hazard lights when driving towards the end of a traffic jam.

The priority road is turning due to the additional sign. It's a turning priority road. If you stay on the priority road, you will need to indicate that. You have to take care of pedestrians crossing the street, if necessary, you have to stop. The answer: "Driving to the left is mandatory" is wrong, since this traffic sign does not dictate a direction of travel.

The traffic sign prohibits driving on the route for vehicles exceeding the weight indicated in the road sign. The weight specification refers to the actual total weight of the vehicle, that means the curb weight plus the weight of the vehicle's load. It must not be exceeded. The red round circle in the traffic sign always indicates a ban.

This traffic sign indicates a section of the route with crosswinds. This is especially true for bridges and overpasses. If there's strong wind from the side you have to reduce your speed. You need to be prepared to hold on and countersteer to stay in the lane. The traffic sign has nothing to do with air traffic.

• ✅ For the necessity for counter-steering

• ✅ For the necessity for adjusting speed

• ✅ For an alteration in the responsiveness of the vehicle

If you encounter this traffic sign, you have to adjust to strong crosswinds. Most commonly, this traffic sign appears on road sections that are particularly exposed to the wind - for example, on bridges or overpasses. With strong crosswinds, the driver must countersteer in order to stay in the lane. You also need to adjust the speed of your car to the wind conditions.

• ❌ - drive in neutral
• ❌ - switch the ignition off
• ✅ - select a gear in which I am not required to brake a great deal

On a down grade, use the engine brake by shifting down to a lower gear. This relieves the service brakes. Under no circumstances change to idle! Because idling puts the engine brake out of action, thus the service brakes could overheat. In addition, the brake booster cannot work when the ignition is switched off. This considerably lengthens the braking distance.

You must not drive over the lane boundary (solid line) to the left, which is located at the middle of the lane. Driving on it is also prohibited.

• ✅ - cross the centre line in order to pass by the obstruction

• ✅ - cross the centre line in order to overtake

• ✅ - not cross the centre line if this would endanger other traffic

Guidelines have the task of separating the lanes. Therefore, you may only drive over them if you avoid obstacles or overtake vehicles. This is only allowed if no road user is endangered.

• ✅ You lose your feel for speed
• ❌ The feel for the right speed on bends grows
• ✅ Your powers of concentration diminish

You quickly get used to high speeds and you kind of enter a state of a rush. Especially at motorway exits, this can have a fatal impact, as your ability to concentrate and your reaction speed quickly decreases. So, look at the speedometer again and again!

• ✅ When you enter the slipstream of the truck

• ✅ When you leave the slipstream of the truck

• ❌ When you change lane after overtaking

If there is strong crosswind from the right, you are particularly at risk as a car driver if you enter the slipstream of a truck as part of an overtaking maneuver. This danger arises from the fact that strong side wind from the right pushes your vehicle to the left, whereupon you automatically start countersteering. As you overtake a truck, you fall into its slipstream; the crosswind is instantly gone and you have to adjust the steering. As soon as you get out of the slipstream, the pressure starts again with the crosswind; So, you have to countersteer again.

• ✅ Slow-moving agricultural tractors and machinery
• ✅ Mopeds
• ❌ Small-engine motorcycles

Slow-moving vehicles such as tractors, mopeds must use the hard shoulder. Other vehicles that go faster than 45km/h need to remain on the road

• ✅ No, because there is no queue of vehicles in the left lane

• ❌ Yes, because there is enough space to overtake

• ❌ Yes, if you do not drive faster than 80 km/h

The black car may not be overtaken on the right in this example. On freeways and highways, you may only overtake on the right as an exception. This is the case, for example, when a vehicle queue has formed on the left.

• ❌ Your reactions improve
• ✅ You lose your feel for speed
• ✅ You drive too close to vehicles in front

The senses have become accustomed to the fast pace and you start to underestimate certain situations. Therefore, drivers often drive at high speed into sharp turns on the freeway exit ramps. The fast and monotonous driving decreases the ability to concentrate and thus the readiness to react. Often the safety distance is neglected and drivers drive too close to the car in front.

• ✅ When driving across bridges
• ✅ When overtaking trucks
• ✅ When driving past firebreaks in forests

Changing wind directions are dangerous when driving. Sudden gusts can catch your vehicle and push it aside. You have to countersteer strongly to keep your vehicle in the lane. If the wind changes direction, you have to react quickly and adjust your steering behavior. Strong crosswind is a danger especially on bridges and on level, undeveloped and unwooded terrain. If you overtake one or more trucks, you will have to expect changing pressure conditions when entering the slipstream of the truck and when leaving the truck. At forest aisles or when leaving wooded areas, a strong crosswind can also hit you abruptly.

• ❌ - not overtake

• ❌ - only overtake, if I remain in the right-hand lane while doing so

• ✅ - overtake

You may overtake if other road users are not endangered. The one-sided lane boundary allows you to cross the two lines from the side where the broken line is located.

Never wait on the left of the lane mark. You would impede or even endanger subsequent vehicles. The side strip is designed for parking, waiting and slow vehicles. As a slow-moving driver you must use such a sufficiently wide and well-fastened strip for driving. In this case, you may drive over the thick solid line with your vehicle representing an official lane boundary.

• ✅ Stopping and parking

• ❌ Overtaking

• ✅ Driving with slow vehicles

A driver drives dangerously close to you on the left-hand lane and signals his/her overtaking intent with his flash light. You should still overtake the transporter on the mid-lane and then get back into the lane in front of it to defuse the situation.

• ❌ The through-driving traffic on the right-hand lane must allow incoming traffic to merge
• ✅ On the merging lane, I may drive faster than the through-driving traffic
• ✅ The through-driving traffic has priority

On the freeway, the continuous traffic always has the right of way and does not have to allow entrance. On the acceleration lane the driver may drive faster than the rest of the vehicles.

• ❌ I stop at the end of the merging lane, and move onto the motorway behind the blue truck

• ❌ I brake and move onto the motorway behind the green truck

• ✅ I move onto the motorway ahead of the green truck

You are on an acceleration lane to the freeway. On the acceleration lane it is permissible to drive faster than the vehicles on the continuous lane. Therefore, you can drive onto the highway at a faster pace in front of the green truck.

• ❌ I maintain my speed while on the exit lane, so as not to impede the traffic behind me
• ✅ I check the speedometer to make sure I do not underestimate my speed
• ✅ I signal in good time and then brake while on the exit lane, so as not to impede the traffic behind me

If you, as a car driver, leave the motorway at a speed of about 120 km/h, you must observe the following: 1. complete all overtaking maneuvers in good time; 2. merge right; 3. reduce the speed while checking it on the speedometer; 4. indicate. In order not to hinder the traffic on the continuous road, you should reduce the speed only when you change to the deceleration lane.

• ❌ I significantly reduce my speed while still on the right-hand lane of the motorway
• ✅ I cease overtaking manoeuvres in good time
• ✅ I significantly reduce my speed on the exit lane

Finish overtaking in good time and get on the right lane. Before changing to the deceleration lane look around and indicate. On the deceleration lane, check your speed on the speedometer in order to assess it right. Only on the deceleration lane you should reduce the speed significantly, so as not to hinder subsequent traffic on the continuous lane.

• ✅ Throttle down, if necessary, steer against and brake cautiously
• ✅ Stop, if possible, on the hard shoulder, switch on hazard warning lights and place the warning triangle
• ❌ Immediately apply the brakes fully and move over onto the hard shoulder

Avoid emergency braking on the freeway and instead steer and brake gently to stabilize your vehicle. If possible, bring your vehicle to a stop on the hard shoulder. Turn on your hazard lights and set up your warning triangle to warn subsequent vehicles.

• ❌ Brake only on the bend so as not to obstruct traffic following behind

• ✅ Check your speed again and, if necessary, brake

If the car driver drives at high speed on the highway for a long time, the senses get used to the fast pace. There is a risk of underestimating the pace. In particular, if you want to drive out, check your speed on the speedometer. Use the deceleration lane of the freeway to reduce your speed. Braking there doesn't hinder anybody. Then you can enter the sharp bend of the exit at a reasonable speed.

• ✅ I switch on my hazard lights

• ❌ I continue driving in the clear lane

• ✅ I slow my vehicle down

Since you are currently being overtaken by a car on the left-hand side, you must maintain the lane and reduce the speed until the truck in front of you has completed its overtaking maneuver and changes to the right-hand lane.

• ❌ - move to the right-hand lane

• ❌ - overtake the motorbike

• ✅ - restore the safety distance by braking

You must interrupt the cruise control by braking. The motorcyclist changes to your safety distance. You can restore it only by breaking. It is not possible to change to the right-hand lane, as otherwise you would get into the safety distance of the vehicles in succession. The speed limit prohibits to drive faster than 130 km/h.

• ❌ I move into the left-hand lane and flash my headlights until the person in front vacates the lane

• ❌ I remain on the middle lane and cautiously overtake the white car

• ✅ I remain on the middle lane but without overtaking the white car

The white car on the left lane must not be overtaken on the right. To go behind it on the left lane and to make him/her change with flash light is also prohibited. You have to slow down and drive on the middle lane just as fast as the car. Allow him/her as much distance as it takes in order for him/her to be able to change to the middle lane at any time.

• ✅ If possible, switch on hazard warning lights to warn vehicles following behind

• ✅ Drive as far as possible to the right in order to leave room for a channel on the left

If you drive towards a traffic jam, turn on your hazard lights to alert other road users. It is important to build a rescue lane for any approaching rescue vehicles. In this case, drive as far to the right as possible.

• ✅ Watch if the truck and trailer remain on the hard shoulder

• ✅ Allow the truck and trailer to enter the roadway when it indicates left

• ❌ When the truck and trailer are indicating left, flash your headlights and proceed at a brisk pace

Outside of built-up areas, slow vehicles such as tractors, trucks and mopeds often ride on the hard shoulder and can thus be overtaken more easily. If such a vehicle wants to turn left, or if it has to return to the main road for other reasons, you have to allow the driver to change his/her lane.

• ❌ With oncoming traffic on my lane

• ✅ That the bend will become tighter as it progresses

• ✅ With an obstacle situated around the corner

The course of the curve is not assessable. You always have to expect obstacles such as broken-down vehicles or traffic jams. Be prepared for a stop within sight. The curve may narrow in its course. Thereby you'll only notice in the curve that your speed is too high. It is important to reduce the speed on time.

• ✅ I have to reduce my speed

• ✅ The truck has right of way

• ❌ The truck has to wait

The curve is difficult to assess for the car driver. There may be other road users or even obstacles on the route. Therefore, it makes sense to slow down the pace even before the turn and mentally adjust to a possible danger situation. Because even for oncoming drivers this is a difficult spot and caution is required.

• ✅ I continue driving as far to the right as possible

• ✅ I brake

• ❌ I move into the left-hand lane

Next to you is a red car that changes into the middle lane. Therefore, you cannot change the lane, otherwise you would endanger other road users.

• ✅ - cars
• ✅ - motorbikes
• ❌ - Trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating in excess of 3.5 t

On motorways, all cars and vehicles up to a maximum gross vehicle weight of 3.5 t have to observe the freeway speed limit. Exceeding this speed limit is not recommended even in favorable traffic conditions.

• ✅ Between the left-hand and the middle lanes
• ❌ Between the middle and right-hand lanes
• ❌ On the hard shoulder

When traffic stops on freeways or on roads outside of built-up areas with at least two lanes in one direction, vehicles must form a free lane for the passage of police and support vehicles. If a road has three lanes into one direction, then the middle is considered to be between the left and the middle lane.

• ❌ The left-hand lane
• ✅ The middle lane

The left-hand lane may only be used by a car driver for the temporary overtaking of other vehicles. Continuous driving on the middle lane is permitted, however, if the road is located outside built-up areas and provided with a line marking. This also applies if only a few vehicles are on the right lane.

• ✅ Join the clearway only at crossroads and junctions
• ❌ In darkness, you may drive faster than the range of visibility allowed by dipped headlights
• ✅ No U-turns

You may only enter at intersections or T-junctions on motorways. Turning on motorways is prohibited. The regulations regarding speed differ from those that apply on the freeway. On highways you must not drive faster than the range of the low beam allows.

• ✅ As long as is necessary to overtake other vehicles
• ❌ All the time, provided no other vehicle wants to overtake you
• ✅ As long as you are driving behind a vehicle which is overtaking in the left-hand lane

The left lane may generally only be used for the purpose of overtaking. If the preceding vehicle overtakes, it can be assumed that the following car driver will also overtake. Therefore, it is allowed here to use the left lane. In all other cases, you have to drive on the right.

• ✅ I cease the overtaking manoeuvre and move into the right-hand lane

• ❌ I accelerate and continue the overtaking manoeuvre

• ❌ I continue the overtaking manoeuvre at an unchanged speed

You may drive on the lane of the oncoming traffic if you intend to overtake. To overtake, you must increase your speed above the allowed 130 km/h, which is not permitted in this situation. You must cancel the overtaking procedure and get into the right lane.

• ✅ I continue driving until I can again pull into the right-hand lane
• ❌ I turn on my hazard lights briefly to urge the vehicle behind to keep its distance
• ❌ I brake briefly to prompt the vehicle behind to keep its distance

The dense, aggressive tailgating of the following vehicle endangers all road users. For this reason, you should try to change to the right-hand lane in compliance with the safety distance. Any braking maneuver would only worsen this dangerous situation. Switching on the hazard light is prohibited in this case.

• ✅ - turn on my hazard lights and park as far to the right as possible
• ✅ - place the warning triangle at a distance of about 100 m
• ❌ - continue driving to the next exit

If your vehicle breaks down on a multi-lane road due to a flat tire in a place where it cannot be detected in time as a stationary obstacle, immediately turn on the hazard lights. After that, a breakdown triangle is to be placed in a clearly visible position at a sufficient distance. In fast traffic, the distance between the vehicle and the breakdown triangle should be approx. 100 m.

• ❌ The motorbike exits the motorway

• ✅ [The yellow car] exits the motorway

There is no traffic jam in this situation. Since the motorcycle is driving on the left, it will not leave the freeway. The car, on the left of you, however, is indicating to the left. You can expect the car driver to leave the freeway.

• ❌ I move into the right-hand lane

• ✅ I reduce my speed

• ❌ I continue driving without changing speed

You drive on the middle lane and in this situation you have to stay on the lane and reduce the speed. The driver on the left lane drives more slowly. You must not overtake him from the right. You cannot change to the right lane, there is a vehicle.

• ❌ On farm or forest tracks
• ✅ On autobahns
• ✅ On clearways for motor vehicles only

You may not turn your vehicle on freeways or motorways. Reverse driving is strictly prohibited on both types of roads as well.

• ✅ Motorways
• ✅ On vehicle roadways not inside a built-up area, with separate carriageways for each direction
• ✅ On vehicle roadways not inside a built-up area, with at least two marked lanes for each direction

On freeway and roads outside the city, whose lanes are structurally separated, an advisory speed limit of 130 km/h applies. However, you must keep enough distance to be able to stop any time.

• ✅ - yellow truck

• ❌ - green truck

• ❌ - the car up ahead

The fast driving style of the yellow truck suggests that he will overtake the blue truck in front of him as well. Their speed is faster than that of the trucks. You cannot dodge to the left as a car on the left lane is directly behind you. If the yellow truck swings out, you have to brake hard.

• ❌ Always drive to the end of the merging lane, pull up there and then enter lane
• ✅ Accelerate appropriately, do not pull up if possible, merge while observing the right of way
• ✅ Drive past to the right of slower-moving vehicles driving on the through-lane and merge in before them

On an acceleration lane it is allowed to drive faster on the right than on the continuous lane. In order to merge, you as a car driver must accelerate adequately and observe the right of way and the safety distance.

• ✅ - blue car begins overtaking

• ❌ - white truck accelerates

• ✅ - overtaking manoeuvre of the green truck takes longer to complete

You may have to be prepared for the fact that you cannot overtake now because the other road users are already involved in overtaking maneuvers. Do not act with precipitation just to complete the overtaking maneuver on the permissible route. A solid line represents a restriction on overtaking and is equivalent to the road sign "No overtaking".

• ❌ I maintain my speed and stay in the middle lane

• ❌ I maintain my speed and move into the right-hand lane

A car drives in front of you and from the right a car drives onto the main carriageway of the freeway. It is clear that the car driving on the left lane has a slower pace than you. Since it's only allowed to overtake on the left, you must delay and reduce your speed.

• ✅ - grey car will move into the middle lane

• ❌ - yellow truck will pull out in front of me to overtake

• ❌ - grey car will remain in the right-hand lane

Since the vehicle drives very fast from the right onto the freeway, you have to expect that it will change to the middle lane. This impression is reinforced by the fact that trucks maintain their speed and distance.

• ✅ I continue driving and leave the motorway at one of the next exits
• ❌ I stop on the hard shoulder to plan my subsequent route
• ❌ I reverse back on the hard shoulder, because the exit is less than 100 m behind me

Continue until the next exit and leave the freeway there. Now you can drive back to the missed exit on the other side of the freeway. You must not stop or drive backwards.

• ❌ I slow down and merge after the [yellow vehicle]

• ❌ I slow down and merge between the [red car] and the [truck]

• ✅ I accelerate and merge in front of the [truck]

They have already passed the truck on the acceleration lane on the right-hand side of the freeway. If you continue to accelerate, you can drive onto the main lane before the end of the lane. You should do that.

In Germany, the legal driving requirement applies. Vehicles up to 3.5 tons are excluded from the right-hand drive requirement within built-up areas and can freely choose their lane.

• ❌ In darkness, under no circumstances drive faster than the range of visibility allowed by dipped headlights
• ✅ No stopping on the roadway and hard shoulder
• ✅ No reversing

On the freeway you are only allowed to drive forward and only in one given direction. Reversing, turning and stopping is strictly prohibited on the roadway as well as on the side strip.

• ✅ - provides reports about traffic jams
• ✅ - gives warnings about motorists heading in the wrong direction
• ❌ - is a prescribed requirement for travelling on the motorway

Drivers are not required to listen to traffic news, but traffic news are indispensable for a smooth journey. Traffic news inform about traffic jams, traffic accidents and construction sites. Warnings about wrong-way drivers have already prevented a lot of serious accidents.

On motorways cars and motorcycles have to keep an advisory speed limit of 130 km/h. In addition, driving on a freeway is only permitted to vehicles exceeding 60 km/h.

If a minimum distance of 3 meters to the lane boundary line is observed when parking, the parked car will not present an obstacle.

For vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes of gross vehicle weight and without trailer, the maximum speed limit is 80 km/h.

• ✅ I drive over to the right-side as far as possible

• ✅ I warn the driver by sounding my horn and flashing my lights

• ✅ I notify the police

You meet a wrong-way driver on the freeway exit. By driving as far to the right as possible, you can best counteract a collision with the wrong-way driver. Now other road users must be warned of this acute danger. For this reason, you must inform the police.

• ❌ - in the centre

• ✅ - as far to the right as possible

You approach the end of a traffic jam on the freeway. Turn on the hazard light. Form an alley in the middle of the lane for the passage of police and helping vehicles: on roads with three lanes for one direction, form an alley between the left and middle lane. Therefore, you have to drive far to the right. This rule applies outside built-up areas and on freeways.

• ❌ - drive as far to the left as possible in the right-hand lane
• ✅ - drive as far to the right as possible in the right-hand lane
• ✅ - drive as far to the left as possible in the left-hand lane

If vehicles stand or drive at walking speed on freeways or on roads outside of built-up areas with at least two lanes for one direction, the following applies: You, as a car driver, must participate in forming a free lane between the leftmost and rightmost lane for the passage of police and support vehicles.

• ❌ Next exit in the direction of the arrow

• ✅ Nearest emergency call telephone in the direction of the arrow

• ❌ Nearest car park in the direction of the arrow

Any car driver must cooperate in forming an alley in the middle of the road for the passage of police and support vehicles in case of congestion on freeways and on out-of-town roads with more than one lane. Do not drive on the side strip, this is prohibited.

You flash and leave the freeway at the exit. The route to the turn of the exit is used to decelerate. Drive quickly off the highway, then reduce your pace. Drive into the corner at a moderately reduced speed.

They want to leave the freeway. You can see that traffic is stalling in your intended exit. Since you are not allowed to drive on the hard shoulder and wait on the lane, you behave correctly if you continue driving and use the next exit in order to exit the freeway.

You have to expect to have to stop before turning off the intersection. On the one hand, the view of the bus coming from the right is obstructed. In addition, other vehicles could drive past him. On top of that, pedestrians may want to cross the street. You must always pay special attention to them.

At the traffic sign "crossing or junction with right of way from right" you must follow the right of way "Left yields to right". This applies to the nearest intersection.

• ✅ Parked vehicles partially conceal the intersection

• ✅ The continuous lighting gives rise to the assumption of having the right of way at the junction

• ✅ The layout of the road creates the impression of a priority road

Even if the better lighting leads you to believe that you have priority over the less well-lit crossroads, you must observe the right of way. This is indicated by the corresponding sign at the intersection. This also doesn't change with the vehicles parked in the crossing area. That's why all three answers are correct.

The cyclist is granted right of way because she is on the priority road. Wait for the cyclist to pass and drive past the vehicles.

• ✅ - the speed and the distance of the cross traffic
• ✅ - the weather conditions
• ✅ - the width of the priority road

When crossing a priority road, you must keep in mind: 1. the width of the priority road, 2. the distance and speed of oncoming traffic, 3. the weather conditions. These are all the influences that are important for crossing the priority road. The weather influences the condition of the road and the visibility. Along with the road width, it determines how long you need to cross the priority road. By estimating the distance and the speed of oncoming traffic you can assess how much time you have available.

• ✅ - cyclist

The change of direction must indicate who changes it. This is true regardless of the importance of the road. So, the motorcyclist who follows the course of the turning priority road has to indicate. You continue straight ahead and do not indicate.

• ✅ You must indicate to leave the roundabout
• ✅ You are not allowed to stop on the roadway in a roundabout
• ✅ You can only drive over a central island if this is unavoidable because of your vehicle's size

In a roundabout you may only stop if this is unavoidable due to traffic, for example due to a traffic jam. Indicate when leaving the roundabout. You can only drive over paved or asphalted central islands if it is unavoidable due to the size of the vehicle. Always give priority to cyclists traveling on your right side and remaining in the roundabout.

• ✅ At crossroads and junctions
• ❌ At the end of a traffic calmed area
• ❌ At driveways

At intersections and T-junctions without a traffic-regulating traffic sign "left yields to right" applies. If a vehicle leaves a property or a restricted traffic area, all other road users, including pedestrians and children on the sidewalk, have priority.

• ✅ If I want to continue following a priority road that changes direction
• ✅ Before turning into a junction or a property lot
• ❌ If I want to continue straight on, thereby leaving a priority road that changes direction

If you want to turn into a T-junction or a property, you have to indicate. The same applies if you follow a turning priority road - here, too, the change of the direction of travel must be indicated.

• ✅ I have to wait at the stop line

• ❌ I may make the turn in front of the cyclist

• ✅ I have to allow the cyclist to pass through

In front of the traffic sign "Stop! Give way!", colloquially also called stop sign, you must always stop. Mostly there is a stop line. The wheels must be stationary for at least a short amount of time. The cross traffic has right of way - then the cyclists on the opposite side. As a driver turning left, you have to grant him the right of way.

• ❌ Because the car coming from the left has priority

• ✅ Because a vehicle could come from the right

• ✅ Because there is an increased danger of skidding when braking

The wet leaves on the road lead to an extended braking distance and high risk of slipping. Therefore, reduce the speed and drive carefully before reaching the intersection. A vehicle could approach you from the right, which you would have to give priority to. Since there are no signs for the right of way at the intersection, "Left yields to right" applies.

• ❌ A better developed road always has priority
• ✅ Intersecting roads may have priority even though they are narrow and less well developed
• ❌ The rule "right before left" applies without exception at all crossroads and junctions

By driving on a wide and well-developed road, you don't automatically have the right of way. The rule "Left yields to right" does not apply always and everywhere. Instead, signs or traffic lights regulate who has priority. Therefore, pay attention to the signposted right-of-way regulation or the traffic lights at each individual intersection and junction.

• ❌ Because of the cyclist

• ❌ Because of the pedestrian

• ✅ Because of the red car

The traffic on the main road is jammed. The red car drives around the parked vehicles to turn left. You have to wait and let this car pass as it has priority.

• ✅ I use clear hand signals to forego my right of way

Here, the traffic rule "left yields to right" applies and every driver must give priority to the vehicle on the right. In order for the situation to dissolve, a car driver must refrain from his/her right of way. By clearly recognizable hand signals you should give up your right of way, so that all vehicles can continue.

The traffic sign stands for a "priority road". You may therefore turn in front of the vehicle coming from the left. First, however, you must let the oncoming vehicle turn, because you have to wait as a left-turning driver.

Left yields to right applies in intersections and T-junctions without a traffic sign. Since no vehicle comes from the right, you may first cross the intersection. After that the truck drives and finally the cyclist.

According to the signage, the motorcyclist is on the priority road and is therefore allowed to drive first. Both the driver of the blue car and you are on a lane with the "Give way" sign. As this does not clear up the situation, "left yields to right" applies. For this reason, you have to let the other vehicle drive through.

At an intersection, which has no traffic signs, "left yields to right" applies. If a car drives from the right wants to turn right, he is allowed to drive first and you have to wait. On the other hand, if a vehicle approaching you wants to turn left, you have the right of way, because if a driver wants to turn, must always give priority to oncoming traffic.

• ❌ At junctions of farm tracks or forest tracks with other roads
• ✅ At crossroads and junctions
• ❌ At junctions with sunken kerbstone

At intersections and T-junctions without priority signs, the vehicles coming from the right have priority. The same applies to roads that are equally ranked according to their signage. Lanes with drop kerb, drives as well as field and forest trails are an exception. If you are on one of these roads, you must give priority to other road users.

• ❌ - after [the two cars]

• ❌ - after [the blue car]

At this intersection you have right of way. This is indicated by the traffic sign. That's why the vehicles have to wait from the right and left and let you drive first.

• ❌ 'Proceed according to the rule "right before left"'
• ❌ Always proceed when driving straight ahead
• ✅ Wait, observe and come to an agreement with others, if necessary

There are situations that are difficult to understand in terms of the right of way. If this happens to you wait and watch other car drivers. If the situation remains difficult, you can communicate with each other by clear hand signals. To simply continue straight ahead or act according to the rule "left yields to right" would be too risky and accident-prone.

You follow a turning priority road. Therefore, you have priority over the driver of the car driving straight ahead. The driver of the tractor also has to wait because he/she leaves the priority road and the rule left yields to right applies to you.

• ❌ [The blue car] has to allow me to turn

• ✅ I have to allow the cyclist to turn

• ✅ I have to allow [the blue car] to pass through

Here, "left yields to right" applies as well as the rules for left turns. The car coming from the right may drive first. Since you want to turn left, the oncoming cyclist has right of way.

• ❌ I quickly cross over the junction
• ✅ I carefully ease my way into the junction
• ❌ I sound my horn to warn crossing traffic

If visibility is limited you should only proceed with caution. Slowly get into the intersection until you can see the priority road. This is how you act responsibly.

• ❌ The cyclist has to wait

• ✅ I have to wait

If you are on a priority road and you want to turn left, you will have to let oncoming cars drive by. If a vehicle drives next to you, which contrary to you remains on the priority road, then this car driver has priority. However, if a vehicle from another street with the traffic sign "Give way" wishes to turn into your priority road, he/she may only drive last.

• ✅ You must indicate to leave the roundabout

• ❌ You must indicate when entering the roundabout

Vehicles driving in the roundabout have right of way. Indicating when entering the roundabout is not necessary, as a roundabout is always entered from the right. Therefore, the answer "Entering the roundabout must be indicated" is wrong. You only indicate when you leave a roundabout. This makes sense because this makes it easier for vehicles to enter the roundabout.

• ❌ You must enter to the left

• ✅ You must indicate right to leave the roundabout

• ✅ When entering the roundabout, you must give way

When driving in, you must give priority to the vehicles in that are already in the roundabout. The circle may only be entered through the right. You only indicate when leaving the roundabout. This regulation makes it easier for drivers to enter the roundabout. When recognizing the turn signal, they can decide whether they can already enter the circle with due regard for due diligence.

The traffic sign "Stop! Yield to cross traffic!" requires that you stop and give way. Since there is a stop line, you must stop at the stop line. If there is no stop line, you must stop at the line of sight and your wheels have to stop completely. You always have to stop, even if there is no cross traffic.

The correct traffic sign to observe the right of way is number two. Number one indicates that a dangerous turn is in front of the driver while number three indicates the number of a national highway.

• ❌ I am not permitted to turn right or drive straight ahead

• ✅ I am on a priority road that bends left

• ❌ If I continue driving straight ahead, I have to allow right of way to vehicles arriving from the right

As a left-turning driver, you generally have to give priority to oncoming traffic. Cyclists also have this right of way. So, in this situation you have to let the motorcyclist pass before turning. He will pass the left-turning driver from the right and continue straight ahead.

• ❌ - not stop, because there is no stop line

• ❌ - stop only if there is cross-wise moving traffic

All drivers driving on the priority road must be given priority. The motorcycle is on the lane where you want to turn right. Before you turn right into the priority road, you have to wait and let the motorcycle pass.

• ✅ Because the other vehicle might continue moving

• ❌ Because the direction of the road ahead demands it

• ❌ Because a speed limit is visible

You see that a vehicle wants to drive onto the road from the right. Since it comes from a field or forest path, you have right of way. Due to the forest cover the visibility for the vehicle driver may be limited. It is possible that he/she will continue despite having to wait. For this reason, you must be ready to brake until you clearly recognize that he/she is stopping.

• ✅ When you leave the roundabout

• ❌ When you enter the roundabout

If you enter the roundabout, you do not need to indicate this because the entrance to the circle is always to the right. On the other hand, if you leave the roundabout, you will need to indicate this to make it easier for other drivers to enter the circle.

• ✅ - only at the next crossroads or junction

You have to give priority to the vehicles driving in the roundabout. In the roundabout there is always an absolute stopping restriction. You only indicate when you leave a roundabout. This helps other cars to enter the roundabout. A general driving with walking speed in the roundabout is not required.

• ✅ You must indicate when leaving the roundabout

• ✅ You must give way to vehicles in the roundabout

• ❌ You must indicate when entering the roundabout

The traffic signs indicate that the drivers in the roundabout have priority. They also show that you do not need to indicate when entering the roundabout, as motorists can only enter the circle to the right. As soon as you leave the roundabout, you will need to indicate that to make it easier for other road users to enter the roundabout.

Although you are on the priority road, you must always expect dangerous situations to arise. For example, the tractor driver approaching your street at a junction could not fulfill his duty of waiting and force the vehicle in front of you to brake. By driving anticipatory you can help defuse potentially dangerous situations.

A motorcycle traveling behind the red car, because of your change of direction you must give the motorcyclists priority.

• ✅ When a flashing red light comes on
• ✅ When a railway employee is waving a white-red-white flag
• ✅ When the barriers are being lowered

All road users are required to stop and wait immediately before a level crossing in the following situations: when the signal system's red flashing light comes on, when the barriers start to lower, when the barriers are closed, when a staff member waves a white-red-white flag , You must wait until the blockage is released again.

• ❌ Come to a stop in the central divide, where the other car is stopped

• ❌ Turn smoothly, so as not to impede following traffic

• ✅ Stop before the left turn and keep the central divide clear

If tram rails lead through the left turn lane and you want to turn left when the tram approaches, it is important to wait with sufficient distance in front of the tram rails. When the tram passed, you can turn left.

• ❌ Just before the rails
• ✅ In front of the St. Andrew's Cross
• ❌ Level with the barrier

If you are unable to pass the railroad crossing quickly due to slow traffic, then stop in front of the diagonal cross. Waiting directly in front of the rails or at the level of the barriers is prohibited, because at these positions you may be hit by the dynamic pressure of the train, by the train itself or trapped by the barriers.

• ✅ Listen out in case a rail vehicle signals its approach by whistling or ringing a bell
• ❌ Proceed without taking any special precautions since rail vehicles are required to wait here
• ✅ Proceed at moderate speed and check to see if a rail vehicle is approaching

Even without the diagonal cross, a car driver must always give priority to a rail vehicle on field and forest paths. Approach the railroad crossing at moderate speed and listen for a train approaching. Observe the track and stop, if necessary, to let the rail vehicle pass.

• ✅ If I would have to stop in the middle of the junction because the traffic is backing up
• ❌ If the sign "Stop. Give way" is displayed at the junction
• ✅ If asked to stop by a police officer

In the following cases, you must not enter a crossroad, even though the traffic light shows "green": with slow-moving traffic, as crossings, for example, must remain free for emergency vehicles. Secondly, when police officers regulate traffic and give instructions that deviate from the meanings of the colors of the traffic lights. In general, a green traffic light tells you that you are allowed to drive and overrules other traffic signs that regulate the right of way. Policeman orders have the highest rank and override traffic lights.

• ✅ Approach at moderate speed, look along the railway line
• ❌ Proceed at the same speed as road traffic always has precedence in such cases
• ✅ Wait in front of the level crossing if you would have to wait on it because of traffic congestion

Nevertheless, as you approach a railroad crossing with the barriers open, you must reduce speed and be aware of the track. The car driver should make sure that the transition is possible without danger and that no rail vehicle is approaching. When you see that a traffic jam could occur, it is necessary to keep a distance so that no car will end up standing on the rails. Rail transport always has priority.

• ✅ - at the stop line

• ❌ - directly behind the yellow vehicle

• ❌ - between the yellow and the blue vehicle

In case of halting traffic, you are not allowed to block any intersection or T-junction despite the green traffic light or right of way. You may need to wait at the stop line and cannot close up until the front vehicles are far enough away.

• ❌ 'Bus stops with "zig-zag lines"'
• ✅ Junctions
• ✅ Pedestrian crossings

If traffic slows down, you may only enter intersections if you can leave them quickly. Otherwise you have to wait. Also, junctions of cross streets, cross-walks and level crossings are to be kept free. However, this does not apply to bus stops.

• ❌ The red lamp is of no significance for you
• ❌ You may cross the rails carefully
• ✅ You must wait in front of the level crossing

All car drivers and other road users must wait at a safe distance before the crossing if a member of the railway staff secures a low-traffic level crossing with a red light. Waving the red light means that the tracks are inaccessible and trains have priority.

• ❌ If no rail vehicle is in sight, cross the level crossing
• ✅ Wait in front of the St. Andrew's Cross
• ❌ Proceed as long as the half barrier is open

When the red flashing light of a barrier system lights up before rail traffic, all road users must stop in front of the diagonal cross. Driving on is strictly prohibited even if the half barrier is still open. The barriers have fast closing times and can jam vehicles. Rail vehicles are approaching at high speeds and have a very long braking distance of several hundred meters. Therefore, they cannot react situationally to obstacles.

• ✅ For [the pedestrian]

• ❌ For oncoming traffic

• ✅ For the motorbike

While you wait at the red light, a motorcyclist pushes past the waiting vehicles. When the traffic light switches to green you should pay attention to the motorcyclist and let him pass before he initiates a risky overtaking maneuver. But you should also let the pedestrian cross the road, which is still on the road despite it being green.

• ✅ Level crossings
• ❌ Driveways
• ✅ Crossroads

In the case of stagnant traffic, the following areas must be kept free for example for emergency vehicles: intersections, level crossings and cross-walks. For residential exits, this rule does not apply. If you notice that someone wants to drive off his property onto the road, you should give the driver the opportunity to enter the road.

• ✅ Pedestrians seeking to cross the road into which I am turning
• ✅ Oncoming cyclists
• ✅ Oncoming vehicles

The oncoming traffic when turning left, has always right of way. This also applies to cyclists; they are granted priority. If pedestrians cross the street you want to turn into, the pedestrians have priority too.

• ❌ I accelerate

• ✅ I perform an emergency braking manoeuvre

• ❌ I sound my horn and continue driving

Immediately apply the emergency brake to prevent a collision with the cyclist coming from the left. Continuing would be dangerous in this situation, even though the traffic light is green in your direction.

• ✅ Rail vehicles have precedence at all level crossings
• ❌ Motor vehicles have precedence at level crossings without St. Andrew's Cross
• ✅ Approach level crossings at moderate speed only

Even if there are no barriers and no diagonal crosses at the level crossings in the entire industrial area, motor vehicle drivers must give priority to all rail vehicles. Always expect a train to come, observe the railway lines accurately and approach the tracks only with moderate speed.

• ❌ - overtake the moped allowing sufficient space to the side

• ✅ - not overtake the moped before the rail crossing

• ❌ - overtake the moped before the rail crossing once the cyclist is away

You must not overtake the moped before the level crossing. In general, no vehicles may be overtaken at level crossings from signs 151, 156 to the rails.

• ❌ Use the road area and wait directly in front of the barrier
• ✅ If possible, switch on the side lights when it is dark
• ✅ Wait before the St. Andrew's Cross without obstructing junctions

At a level crossing with closed gates, all car drivers have to wait in front of the diagonal cross. If there is no traffic sign, a safe distance to the rails must be observed. Be careful not to block intersections or T-junctions when waiting. In the dark, lighting must be switched on, parking light is sufficient.

• ❌ - concentrate fully on the turning manoeuvre because any cyclist has to wait anyway
• ✅ - make sure there is no road user beside you on the right intending to go straight on
• ❌ - simply glance in the mirror to check that there is no cyclist behind you

If other road users are next to you, you must give priority to them if you wish to drive straight ahead. So, also pay attention to people on bike and pedestrian paths. It is not enough to just keep track of the road through the rear-view mirror. In addition, you have to control your surroundings with a look back over your shoulder to be able to perceive those road users who are hidden in the blind spot of the mirror.

• ✅ When the flashing red light goes out
• ❌ As soon as the oncoming traffic sets off, even if the flashing red light is still on
• ❌ Immediately after the train has passed, even if the flashing red light is still on

You may only cross the level crossing after the red flashing light turns off, as another train could follow. Do not be fooled by oncoming traffic to drive on if the car driver waiting on the opposite site already starts driving too early after the train has passed through.

• ✅ Wait at the crossroads

• ❌ Turn without stopping

The police officer regulates traffic by the help of body gestures. A transversely outstretched arm to the engine means you have to stop at the intersection. If the officer stands with his chest looking towards you, your direction of travel is locked. With two outstretched arms or arms pressed to the body, he can release the direction of travel. If the policeman is standing sideways towards you and you can see his profile, you are allowed to drive slowly. If his arm is stretched upwards, you have to stop and if the traffic is closed, you may continue driving soon. Vehicles in an intersection must leave.

• ❌ 'The rule "right before left"'
• ❌ The traffic signs governing priority
• ✅ The police officer's signals

The instructions of the policeman have the highest priority. You have to obey, no matter what the signs say. The following order of priority of the traffic regulation applies: The police officer has the highest authority. Traffic lights are superior to traffic signs. Traffic signs are superior to the basic rule "left yields to right".

• ❌ Traffic turning left
• ❌ Traffic moving straight ahead
• ✅ Traffic turning right

A diagonal cross with a red flashing light in the form of an arrow to the right can be found behind an intersection or T-junction after a railroad crossing. The right arrow indicates that the car drivers who turn right must wait.

• ✅ They must be obeyed
• ❌ They must be obeyed only if they tally with the traffic signs installed
• ❌ They release you from your own duty to take care

The driver must always follow the signs and instructions of police officers. Other arrangements and rules, such as traffic lights or traffic signs, are put last. However, the road user must not neglect due diligence.

• ❌ I carefully cross the tracks

• ✅ I wait in front of the level crossing

• ❌ I wait at the tracks

If there is a risk that you might come to a stop on the rails due to a traffic jam situation or stagnant traffic, stop in front of the diagonal cross and wait until you can safely and quickly cross the level crossing. Fatal accidents occur when a car standing on the rails cannot avoid the approaching train.

• ✅ I must get ready to proceed

• ❌ I can turn now

• ✅ The yellow car must leave the crossroads

The police officer gives the traffic instructions by his body position and with specific arm movements. A raised arm means: The drivers waiting at the intersection are not allowed to continue driving, previously locked drivers should prepare for the onward journey. For this, the policeman spreads his arms from the body or puts them on the body, depending on the instructions. If the police officer stands with his chest to the driver, the driver must stop. If the police officer stands sideways and the driver sees his profile, the driver may continue driving at a moderate speed.

• ✅ I wait in front of the level crossing
• ❌ I switch on my hazard lights
• ❌ I continue driving if there is no train in sight

When a driver approaches a gate that lowers, he/she must wait in front of the level crossing. This also applies if no rail vehicle is yet to be seen. Switching on the hazard light is not required.

• ❌ At the point where you can see along the intersecting road (sight line)

• ❌ Level with the traffic lights

• ✅ At the stop line

The additional sign with green arrow on a black background allows you to turn right after stopping at the red traffic light. Despite the additional sign, the car driver has to make sure that the cross traffic is not endangered. This includes pedestrians and cyclists. Turning is permitted only on the right lane and may only be performed after stopping and ensuring that you can turn safely.

The traffic policeman's gesture dictates the behavior in traffic. If the officer stands lengthways to your direction of travel and you can see his profile, you can continue and turn right. Right-turning drivers should cross the intersection quickly, as long as no pedestrian or cyclist approaches them. If you want to turn left, enter the intersection to ensure undisturbed traffic flow and wait for the policeman's instructions.

• ❌ Before the last beacon
• ❌ Before the first beacon
• ✅ In front of the St. Andrew's Cross

Trucks and vehicles with trailers (vehicles over 7.5 t permissible total mass) are only required to wait outside of built-up areas behind the level crossing (80 m) ahead marker. Inside a built-up area they have to wait in front of the diagonal crosses.

• ✅ At the stop line

The diagonal crosses indicate that rail transport has priority here. As a car driver you need to wait when a rail vehicle is approaching. A lightning bolt in the diagonal cross is an indication of an electrical overhead line, which is important for special transports with a big height.

• ❌ Warn the pedestrians by sounding the horn
• ❌ Make the turn quickly before the pedestrians
• ✅ Allow the pedestrians to cross the road

If the driver wants to turn right and the traffic light signals "green", he must stop when pedestrians cross the road, regardless of how many there are. If the cross-traffic’s traffic light shows "red", pedestrian lights in the side street are mostly "green". Even without the presence of a traffic light the pedestrian must be given the advantage and the driver must stop and wait in this case. Even cyclists who drive straight ahead at the right of the driver or approach the right-turning driver, have priority and must be allowed through.

• ❌ There is no need to stop

• ✅ At the stop line

The car driver has to stop at the stop line. If none exists, then he has to stop in any case before the intersection or T-junction. If the traffic situation allows it, turning to the right is also possible when the traffic light is red. A right-turning driver should behave just as he does with a stop sign, when the traffic light is red. The right of way of the cross traffic must be considered and granted.

• ✅ I may turn observing the traffic signs

• ❌ 'I may only turn when the lights show "green"'

• ✅ The green car must wait

The traffic light system regulates the right of way for the traffic moving straight ahead. The turning lane on the left does not have its own traffic light. When turning left, you must therefore enter the intersection area and wait until a gap in the oncoming straight traffic allows you to pass. On the lane previously branching off for right-turning drivers, the traffic sign applies instead of the traffic light. Note the cross traffic when turning.

• ✅ The police officer's signals
• ❌ The traffic light signals
• ❌ The traffic signs governing priority

Road traffic regulations have a defined ranking, which you must observe. Thus, a police officer is superior to everything else. Followed by traffic lights, which in turn are above the traffic signs. If there are no traffic signs, traffic lights or police, the rule "left yields to right" applies.

• ❌ Stop on the line of sight

• ❌ Stop on the stop line

• ✅ Pass through the crossing without stopping

The traffic light has priority over other traffic signs and lane markings. Cross the intersection without stopping, as long as the traffic light is green.

• ❌ I wait outside of the junction for further instructions from the police officer

The police officer is a hierarchy in the first place with the right of way. Principle of "right before left", road signs and traffic signals have no effect at this moment. Be still carefully because other road users could still behave incorrectly.

• ✅ Vehicles may not stop at the side of carriageways with permanently illuminated signs

• ✅ Permanently illuminated signs either block lanes or open them up to traffic

• ❌ Permanently illuminated signs apply to multi-track motor vehicles only

If there are crossed red diagonal beams, drivers on the lane must neither drive nor hold in front of them. A green arrow looking down means: You can drive on the lane. A yellow blinking, obliquely downward looking arrow, you must change the lane in the direction of the arrow.

• ❌ The tram must wait
• ❌ You must come to an agreement since there are no rules for this
• ✅ You must wait

Although you are allowed to drive, due to the green light, you have to grant the tram the right of way, as it continues straight ahead. You should therefore only enter the intersection halfway and let oncoming vehicles pass before turning left.

• ❌ Accelerate even though the speed limit is exceeded
• ✅ Watch the traffic light closely
• ✅ Approach but be ready to stop

Since the traffic light has been green for a while, it can switch at any moment. Continue at the same speed, watching the traffic light carefully and be ready to stop. Once you have reached your decision point - distance to the traffic light, from which a normal stop is no longer possible - drive on, even if the traffic light switches.

• ❌ Continue driving

• ✅ Slow down

The employees of the railway ensures the level crossing and therefore you should before Andreaskreuz continue.

• ❌ Proceed
• ✅ Stop

According to the rule of thumb, at a speed of 40 km/h your car comes to a stand after 28 meters. The only correct reaction is to stop.

• ✅ Traffic turning right may proceed

• ❌ Traffic turning left may proceed

• ❌ Traffic continuing ahead may proceed

If a traffic light turns red, car drivers who want to drive straight ahead or to the left must stop and wait. If there is an additional traffic light with a glowing green arrow pointing to the right, it is allowed to continue driving and to turn right. A traffic light without additional traffic lights or arrows, however, is valid for all directions.

• ❌ I wait at the stop line for the next set of green lights

• ✅ I allow any cross traffic the right of way

• ❌ I drive through the junction quickly, because "yellow" is displayed

If the yellow traffic light flashes, the traffic light system is out of operation. Then the general right of way applies. You are not on a priority road; therefore, possible cross traffic has the right of way.

• ✅ Move slightly forward or backward in order to clear the crossing as quickly as possible
• ❌ Reverse under no circumstances, even though the roadway is clear behind you
• ❌ Move half onto the footpath in order to clear the crossing

To avoid danger for pedestrians, pedestrian crossings must be kept clear. Therefore, you need to clear the crossing as soon as possible. Drive forwards or backwards as far as the traffic conditions allow. Pay attention to other road users. Do not drive on the sidewalk. This is intended exclusively for pedestrians.

• ❌ I have to wait in the centre of the junction

• ✅ I may turn unimpeded

• ❌ I must allow the oncoming traffic to pass through

The traffic light switches from green to yellow directly in front of you. Your speed is 45 km/h. So, you're too fast in order to slow down and stop in front of the traffic light. There is also a truck behind you, which could hit you while doing an abrupt braking maneuver. Drive on briskly.

• ❌ Stop
• ✅ Proceed

At 40 km/h, the braking distance according to the rule of thumb is 28 meters. Even with emergency braking, a car driver can barely come to a halt 10 meters in front of a traffic light. To prevent a possible rear-end collision, you should therefore continue driving.

• ✅ The two lanes on the right are open to traffic

• ❌ You may use the two lanes on the left for overtaking only

• ✅ You may not use the two lanes on the left

These permanent lights can either enable or disable the lanes, depending on the traffic. They always relate directly to the lane over which they are mounted. A green sign indicates that you are allowed to drive on the lane, a red cross blocks it, a yellow sign with arrow means for you: lane change.

Thanks to the green arrow sign, you can turn at this traffic light even when it's red. To do this, merge right and come to a brief stop in front of the traffic light. Afterwards, make sure that you do not obstruct or endanger other road users. Also note that cross traffic still has priority.

• ✅ On stretches of road running through forest
• ❌ On frequently used stretches of road
• ✅ On bridges

You must be prepared for increased ice on the road in the following areas: in damp, shady and windy locations, which promote the formation of ice on the road. These particularly include forest areas and bridges. In forests, the cold lasts longer than in open fields as moisture takes longer to evaporate due to the shade. Roads on bridges store less heat than roads on the ground. Thus, bridge pavements are colder and freeze faster. Icing is also increased due to the humidity of the surrounding water and the increased amount of wind due to the unprotected location.

• ✅ Because it obstructs the flow of traffic
• ✅ Because it increases the danger of rear-end collisions
• ✅ Because it encourages vehicle drivers behind to overtake dangerously

Road traffic regulations prohibit unnecessary slow driving, as it impedes the flow of traffic and dramatically increases the risk of accidents: it tempts subsequent road users to risky overtaking maneuvers in unclear places. Besides, the risk of rear-end collisions increase drastically due to the resulting speed differences.

• ✅ On bends
• ✅ At pedestrian crossings
• ✅ At crossroads and junctions

Too high speed is one of the main causes of accidents. The faster you drive, the longer your braking distance and the less time you have to react to other road users. If the speed is too high, you can be carried out of the curve by centrifugal force. On slippery and wet roads, you lose grip and control over your car at high speed.

• ✅ Because it is not clear which direction the road will take

• ✅ Because oncoming traffic could cut the corner

• ✅ Because the road surface is uneven

There's a long turn in front of you whose end you cannot see. From there you could be met by a fast-moving vehicle that cuts your lane. On top of that, the road surface is bumpy and not even. Therefore, do not expect sufficient grip and drive at an adjusted speed.

• ✅ Reduce speed before reaching the bend
• ❌ Reduce speed only when you reach the centre of the bend
• ✅ Only accelerate again when the road straightens out

Even before a narrow curve, you should reduce your speed and accelerate only when you’re driving on a straight stretch again. Note that braking abruptly in a turn can cause your vehicle to spin.

• ✅ Unexpectedly heavy braking
• ✅ Inattentiveness
• ✅ Driving too close behind the vehicle in front

Several possible scenarios lead to rear-end collisions. If someone brakes too suddenly and unexpectedly, a crash can occur. Driving up close accidents are also a common reason for rear-end collisions, especially if the rear driver is distracted and unfocused. A sufficiently large safety distance can help to avoid such risks.

• ✅ Wet leaves as well as white frost, black ice and snowy surfaces are particularly dangerous above all on cambered roadways
• ✅ White frost and black ice occur more frequently and more unexpectedly on cobbled roadways than on other roadways
• ❌ Tree-lined avenues are particularly safe in winter because the treetops protect the road from snow

The special features of driving on avenues in the cold season are due to the basic characteristics of an avenue: It is characterized by even rows of trees running parallel to the road to the right and left. The leaves of the trees provide shade on the roads. This means that moisture remains longer, which promotes the formation of ice in cold conditions. The leaves falling onto the road also considerably increase the risk of the vehicle slipping.

• ✅ Because the roadway is slippery

• ✅ Because the roadway is made narrower by the wrongly parked car

• ✅ Because the view is obscured by the bend

Snow makes the road slippery. In front of you, there is a turn that is difficult to observe in which a car is parked. You will have to swing out on the opposing traffic lane in order to avoid it. Therefore, take extra care to be able to react at any time. In addition, your vehicle needs suitable tires for a good grip.

• ✅ At blind corners
• ✅ At road narrowings
• ✅ At level crossings

In poorly visible turns, fast driving is particularly dangerous because suddenly appearing obstacles are often seen too late. Even at road constrictions high speed can be dangerous because there's not always enough braking distance available. Also, do not underestimate the risk of skidding due to uneven road surfaces at railroad crossings.

• ✅ I reduce my speed

• ❌ I switch on my main beam lights

• ✅ I keep towards the right''-hand edge of the carriageway

In poor visibility you must first slow down your pace. If you are dazzled by an oncoming vehicle, you should look to the right side of the road in order not to get off the road. You must not drive on full beam.

• ✅ Accelerating
• ✅ Braking
• ✅ Steering wheel movements

On icy roads your tires will not stick as well as usual. Therefore, you should avoid dangerous situations like braking or accelerating suddenly. Also refrain from sudden steering movements. They could cause your vehicle to spin. Only brake and steer when you're not on an icy surface.

• ✅ The road surface is uneven and road grip varies

• ✅ A tram might come from the opposite direction

A tram on its rails can come towards you, and the road becomes much narrower for you. Tram tracks are dangerous, especially in wet conditions because they become slippery. The road is also uneven and has a different grip, as there are also cobblestones. This can increase the braking distance.

• ✅ I notify the fire brigade

• ✅ I avoid heavy braking and abrupt steering movements

If there is oil on the road, avoid jerky steering and abrupt braking; there is a danger of slipping. If other road users are not endangered, you can switch to the left lane. Inform the fire department so that the oil gets cleaned up.

• ✅ Near lakes
• ✅ Near rivers
• ✅ In marshy areas

Humidity at low temperatures promotes fog formation. As a result, fog is increasingly appearing around lakes, streams, rivers and marshes.

• ✅ Increase the distance from the vehicle in front
• ❌ Drive up close to the vehicle in front so you can use its rear lights as an orientation point
• ✅ Adapt your speed in time to visibility conditions

Adjust your speed and driving style to the viewing conditions. Make sure you can stop within eyeshot. If necessary, increase the safety distance to the vehicle in front. Fog with a visibility of 50 meters, for example, means that you should drive at a maximum of 50 km/h.

• ✅ By carefully applying the brakes at very low speed
• ❌ By jerking the steering wheel to the left and right
• ❌ By rapid acceleration

Test the condition of the road by carefully braking at low speed. Make sure to observe the traffic behind you. Avoid sudden steering or accelerating. Your vehicle could swing off and get out of your control.

• ✅ Near construction sites
• ❌ At innercity crossroads
• ✅ At junctions with farm tracks

At the intersections of dirt roads and construction sites, roads are likely to be very dirty from soil, loam, and dirt. Vehicles coming from there spread dirt on the road with the tread grooves of their tires. In wet conditions, this means an increased risk of slipping.

• ✅ Because spray water could otherwise impede visibility

• ✅ Because uneven areas of the road will otherwise be detected later

• ✅ Because the braking distance is longer than on a dry road

On a wet road there is risk of aquaplaning. The braking distance here is longer than on a dry surface. The vehicle in front generates a spray of dirty water, which worsens your vision. Also, you cannot detect larger puddles of water in advance. To be able to react well in dangerous situations, keep a greater distance from the vehicle in front and adjust the speed.

• ✅ The contact between the tyres and the roadway deteriorates
• ✅ Wheel-spray can impair visibility
• ✅ Braking distances are greater

When the road is wet, the grip between the tires and the road is reduced due to the water film. As a result, the braking distance is considerably longer. Also, the spray water whirled up by the car in front impairs visibility. The same applies to rainy weather.

• ✅ Driving too close to the vehicle in front
• ✅ Failure to pay attention to other road traffic
• ✅ Failure to adjust speed accordingly

Serious accidents often result from risky overtaking maneuvers and rear-end collisions caused by unnecessary slow driving, fatigue and delayed reactions, as well as from children acting unpredictably and inconsiderately.

• ❌ Swerve to the left

• ✅ Slow down

• ❌ Accelerate

If a cyclist who moves to the left drives in front of you, you must not overtake him if the road is narrowed at this point and there is oncoming traffic. A safety distance of 1.5 to 2 meters could not be maintained here.

• ✅ Because braking distance is increased
• ✅ Because aquaplaning (sliding on wet roads) can occur
• ✅ Because visibility is reduced

Water on the windshield or visor breaks the light and worsens the view, whirling up water also obstructs the view. The braking distance is longer on wet roads because of lower grip. The profile of the tires drains the water. At high speed, the amount of water to be drained is too large, there is a risk of aquaplaning. In this case, there is no contact between the road and the tire. The vehicle cannot be controlled any longer.

• ✅ Because beneath the slush there could also be ice on the road

• ✅ Slush could be thrown up and impair visibility

Overtaking in slush can lead to many dangers. Under the snow there could be a layer of ice that makes overtaking dangerous. In addition, you could hurl snow masses at other vehicles or to start swerving back and forth yourself.

• ❌ {Speed in km/h}/{10} x 5
• ❌ {Speed in km/h}/{10} x {Speed in km/h}/{10}
• ✅ {Speed in km/h}/{10} x 3

With the following rule of thumb and the help of speed, you can calculate the distance in meters that a vehicle travels in a second: Divide the speed by ten and multiply the result by three. If you drive your vehicle at 100 km/h, you can travel 30 meters in one second.

• ❌ Longer reaction distance
• ✅ Danger of sliding and skidding
• ✅ Changes in tyre noise

As the road surface deteriorates, it always results in a change and deterioration of traction. As the wheels lose stiction, the vehicle is slipping and skidding faster. The tire noise also depends on the condition of the road surface and changes when, for example, the road turns from a paved road to a cobblestone track.

• ✅ High speed
• ✅ Worn tyres
• ✅ Grooves in the roadway

Aquaplaning - also known as hydroplaning - occurs when the tread depth of the tires is too low to displace the accumulated amount of water or when the amount of water to be discharged is too large due to a high speed (from 60 km/h). In addition, wheel ruts in the road, in which water accumulates, favor this effect.

• ✅ Your vehicle could be blown to the left by the strong side wind

• ✅ When overtaking, your vehicle is pulling to the right when you enter the slipstream of the truck

• ❌ The vehicle travelling in front of you can be blown to the right

If you drive on the motorway in a strong crosswind from the right, the crosswind constantly pushes the car to the left. You have to countersteer to the right to stay in the lane. If you overtake a truck, expect that the pressure from the crosswind is gone immediately as you enter the slipstream of the truck. If you continue to countersteer, there is a risk that you drive against the truck. Since the crosswind comes from the right, the front vehicle could be pushed to the left.

• ✅ - road surface
• ✅ - tyres
• ✅ - braking system

The braking distance of your vehicle depends on the tires, the brake system and the condition of the road. Braking forces are generated powerfully and quickly by a functioning brake system and are optimally transmitted to the roadway only if there is sufficient tread. The static friction of the tires depends on the road condition.

• ✅ Wait, because otherwise there would not be enough space between the cyclist and the car

• ❌ Continue driving as before, because there is sufficient space between the cyclist and the car

• ❌ Continue driving at a moderate speed, because there is very little space between the cyclist and the car

You want to drive around the vehicles parked on the right side of the road. But that is only possible when the oncoming cyclist has passed you by. Otherwise you would not be able to maintain the necessary lateral distance and therefore have to wait.

• ❌ {Speed in km/h}/{10} x 3
• ❌ {Speed in km/h}/{10} x 5
• ✅ {Speed in km/h}/{10} x {Speed in km/h}/{10}

The braking distance is the distance you travel from the start of braking until your vehicle stands. It can be calculated from a simple rule of thumb during normal braking: the speed traveled divided by ten times the speed traveled divided by ten.

• ❌ The dipped headlights of oncoming traffic

• ✅ Poor visibility

• ✅ Reduced grip of the tyres on the wet roadway

The rain and the whirled-up water create a haze that can significantly affect traffic safety. Assume that the grip of the tires is significantly lower due to the wet road surface than on dry roads and that this prolongs your braking distance. The low beam of oncoming traffic does not affect the traffic safety, as the car driver is not dazzled by it.

Due to the height of the crest, it's not visible what lies behind it. Expect to find obstacles there, such as broken down or slow-moving vehicles. Also, be prepared for oncoming trucks that share your lane. In order to be able to react quickly to such dangers, you should reduce your speed accordingly.

• ✅ Soiled roadways
• ✅ Slow farm vehicles
• ✅ Excessively wide farm vehicles

In agricultural areas, tractors and other agricultural vehicles operate at slow speed and/or excess width. Often the road is also polluted with soil or dung.

• ❌ Swerve to the left

• ✅ Slow down

• ❌ Accelerate

On your side the road narrows. The cyclist will therefore move to the left. Because of oncoming traffic, you cannot overtake him with the required safety distance of 1.5 to 2 meters. That's why you have to wait and stay behind him.

• ✅ Visibility and weather conditions
• ✅ The condition of the road and traffic conditions
• ✅ Personal driving ability

You are only allowed to drive your vehicle at maximum legal speed. The actual permissible speed is usually lower. It depends on the visibility and weather conditions, the road conditions, the current traffic conditions and your personal driving skills.

• ❌ 30 km/h
• ✅ 50 km/h
• ❌ 20 km/h

For this question, you must first calculate the thinking distance and the hazard braking distance. At 50 km/h, the thinking distance is 50/10 x 3 = 15. So, there are 15 meters of thinking distance. The hazard braking distance is determined by the following calculation: [(50/10 x 50/10) / 2] = 12.5. 50 km/h is the right answer.

• ❌ It restricts visibility
• ✅ It aids far-sighted driving
• ✅ It helps reduce the risk of accidents

You should always maintain a sufficiently large safety distance to the car in front of you. Through anticipatory driving, you maintain optimal visibility and reduce the risk of accidents.

• ✅ State of the road surface
• ✅ Speed
• ✅ Visibility conditions

The distance to the vehicle in front depends on the speed as well as the visibility and road conditions. As a rule of thumb, you should keep at least a distance of half of your speed in meters. In poor visibility or road conditions, the distance should be increased.

• ❌ 27 m
• ❌ 18 m
• ✅ 36 m

If you double your speed to 60 km/h, the braking distance will quadruple. Just proceed from the braking distance for 30 km/h and accordingly calculate 9 m times 4 = 36 m.

• ✅ Steer against the wind
• ❌ Accelerate rapidly
• ✅ Reduce speed

If your vehicle is hit by strong crosswinds, you should not accelerate, slow down instead and countersteer. The faster you drive, the less secure you can keep your vehicle on the road, since crosswinds can lead to skidding of the vehicle.

• ✅ Because of the truck

• ❌ Because of the motorcyclist

The street looks very narrow. Expect that you have to stop when the truck approaches you. You should drive as far to the right as possible and prepare for a stop to avoid a collision.

• ❌ Yes, if fog headlamps and rear fog lamps are switched on
• ✅ No, because it could represent a danger to oncoming traffic
• ❌ Yes, because it reduces the risk of running off the road

Driving on the center line is not allowed even in dense fog, especially as drivers can always collide with oncoming traffic due to reduced visibility. If there's fog, slow down and orient yourself on the right side of the road for a safe ride.

• ✅ The speed should be adjusted due to the visibility

• ✅ Judging distances is made more difficult because of the constant changing of light and shadows

• ✅ The constant changing of light and shadows makes it more difficult to detect other road users in good time

A sudden and strong change of lighting conditions, you must reduce your speed, because the human eye otherwise cannot react fast enough to the change of light. Other road users or obstacles are very difficult to perceive in dark areas.

• ✅ To estimate the lateral distance to the trees and oncoming traffic simultaneously
• ✅ It may be necessary to stop within half the visible distance when a wide vehicle is coming from the opposite direction
• ❌ Rapidly changing light conditions make it easier to estimate lateral distances

When driving on an avenue with narrow lane width, you must consider the following factors when choosing your speed: Due to the rows of trees on the side, the lighting conditions can change quickly. This makes it difficult for you to estimate the distances to the sides and oncoming traffic. You have to choose your speed so that you can stop halfway on the track, which you can overlook. This is particularly important because wide or tall vehicles often drive in the middle of avenues due to space requirements.

An animal runs on the road from the right. Since there is no vehicle behind you, you should delay, brake and drive to the right. This is the safest way to handle possible scenarios: the tractor could hit the animal and start skidding, the tractor could drive on your lane in an evasive maneuver, you could hit the animal and lose control of your vehicle.

Snow is a special danger for you as a car driver. Your lane is covered in snow. In addition, your view is restricted by a heap of snow. The upcoming green car does not respect the right of way. Therefore, you should brake early, because due to the slipperiness of the braking distance is extended. Probably the green car is also hampered by the snow pile.

• ✅ In forested areas
• ✅ In front of schools
• ✅ After hilltops

You must be aware of sudden, dangerous situations when: 1. visibility is severely restricted; 2. Persons or animals could unexpectedly appear on the road. In the case of limited visibility, you may detect obstacles such as broken vehicles on the roadway too late. You have less time to react accordingly. In forest areas you have to expect wild animals crossing suddenly during dusk times; in residential areas you have to expect children playing on the street. Caution is also required in front of schools and at school bus stops.

• ✅ Switch on dipped headlights
• ❌ Only switch on parking lights
• ✅ Adapt speed immediately to visibility conditions

As a car driver you must turn on low beam during the day when there's fog, snowfall and other poor visibility. Because of the insufficient luminosity driving with parking light is not permitted. Adjust your speed to the visibility conditions and use the rear fog light when you can see less than 50 meters.

• ✅ When you have already been driving at high speed for some time
• ✅ When the road is wide and there are no trees, buildings, fences etc. at the edge of the road
• ❌ When the roadside features (trees, houses, fences) are constantly changing

The danger of underestimating one's own driving speed comes into place when you made a long journey driving at high speed, for example on the highway. Even wide, clear roads quickly beguile you to drive at high speed. On the other hand, a changing roadside development has the opposite effect.

• ✅ Wild animals crossing the road

• ✅ Slow-moving vehicle on my side of the road

• ✅ Fast oncoming traffic cutting the corner

With a confusing right turn you have to expect different situations. Especially at dusk times, wild animals can switch sides right after the turn. But it can also happen that oncoming traffic cuts the curve and is recognized very late or that a vehicle is driving at a very low speed right after the curve.

• ❌ Shorter braking distance
• ✅ A dangerous greasy film on the surface of the road
• ✅ Bad visibility immediately upon switching the windscreen wipers on

If rain sets in after prolonged drought, a dangerous film of lubricant forms on the road, which is only washed away after a long period of rain. This film is more dangerous than rain alone. Brake very carefully. This lubricating film is also deposited on the windscreen. After turning on the windscreen wipers, it first worsens the view drastically. The braking distance is extended by the poorer traction.

• ✅ - greatly reduce my speed

• ❌ - drive to the left past the damaged road surface

• ✅ - continue driving in my lane

In the event of lane damage before a turn, you should reduce your speed considerably to avoid damaging the vehicle. Due to the confusion of the curve, you should not drive past the lane damage on the left, but continue on the right on your lane.

• ✅ There are particularly narrow and blind bends
• ✅ The narrow and often cambered roadway requires special caution when there is oncoming traffic
• ❌ The trees provide protection from the sides

The road is usually very narrow. In addition, it is often heavily curved to drain rainwater. Therefore, special care should be taken with oncoming traffic. Curves are not clear due to the trees. You have to drive particularly careful because of the possible oncoming traffic in curves. Left turns are especially dangerous. The trees don't offer any protection to the driver, not even windbreak.

• ✅ Conflicts can arise with the oncoming traffic
• ✅ I have to anticipate unevenness at the edge of the carriageway caused by tree roots
• ✅ I may only drive at a speed that allows me to stop within half of my range of vision

On narrow avenues you are only allowed to drive at a speed that allows you to stop within half the visibility if oncoming traffic approaches. There may be conflicts with oncoming traffic. You may have to slow down, brake and drive to the right or reverse until the road gets wider to allow oncoming traffic drive past you. The roadside of avenues can be particularly uneven because tree roots lift the pavement.

• ✅ In dips in the roadway
• ❌ At level crossings
• ✅ Where there are grooves in the roadway

If the speed is too high and/or there is more water than can be drained from the tire profiles, aquaplaning occurs. A water film prevents contact between tires and the road. The vehicle is no longer controllable. The risk of aquaplaning exists in particular in ruts and road subsidence. Level crossings usually have no increased risk for aquaplaning, since water can usually run well here.

• ✅ Because of the car

• ❌ Because of the tractor

• ❌ Because of the truck

Since the blue passenger car will most likely get on your lane, you have to slow down immediately and keep to the right.

• ✅ When there is slush, switch on the windscreen wipers already before slush is thrown onto your windscreen by other vehicles
• ✅ Switch on the windscreen wipers from time to time when it is foggy
• ❌ When the windscreen is steamed up, switch the ventilator off and keep the windows closed

Turn your windscreen wipers to interval switching, during fog in order to remove fine water droplets from the mist. Turn on your windscreen wipers before overtaking or being overtaken so that obstructions caused by slush or spray water are immediately removed. Avoid fogged windows with the correct ventilation setting: Set ventilation to outside air supply and not to circulating air. Open the windows a gap to let the moisture escape. Briefly switching on the air conditioning dehumidifies the air very quickly.

• ✅ It is suddenly hit by a gust of strong side wind
• ✅ A burst tyre
• ❌ Sudden headwind

A vehicle on a straight, dry road can swing off sideways in the event of a strong crosswind or a burst tire. In this case, immediately lay off the gas pedal, countersteer and brake gently.

• ✅ Driving for a long time at high speed
• ❌ Loud engine and tyre noise
• ✅ Driving on a good, wide road

Wide and clear roads without changing roadside development can lead to dangerous underestimation of one's own speed. But also, longer trips at higher speeds, such as on the highway, can lead to this effect. On the other hand, strong engine and tire noise let the driver perceive the speed more consciously.

• ❌ Because the brakes react more quickly
• ✅ Because visibility may become worse and the windscreen wipers do not immediately provide a clear field of vision
• ✅ Because a greasy film may form which increases the braking distance

When it starts raining, you must immediately increase the safety distance for the following reasons: Under the influence of moisture, the dirt, dust and fine deposits from tire abrasion or pollen on the road turn into a dangerous film of grease. This reduces the traction and thereby extends the braking distance. This lubricating film also forms on the windscreen and on the brake drums. If you use the windscreen wipers, they will first worsen your view and smudge the window. On the brake drums, this lubricating film leads to a slower response of the brakes in wet conditions.

• ✅ Watching the queue through the windows of the vehicles travelling in front
• ✅ Driving in a slightly staggered position in your own lane
• ❌ Keeping your hazard warning lights switched on when driving

Slightly offset driving allows you to observe the vehicles in front. This allows you to see the traffic situation in front of you or through the windows of the driver in front and react faster to sudden events. Driving with hazard lights in a convoy is generally prohibited.

• ❌ - main beam lights
• ❌ - side lights
• ✅ - dipped headlights

You are only allowed to drive so fast that you can stop within the assessable track. In this situation, this corresponds to the range of your low beam.

• ✅ I maintain a greater distance
• ✅ I take the passenger’s comments seriously
• ❌ I ignore the passenger’s comments

You should take the safety advice of passengers seriously. Keep a larger distance. Within built-up areas, the distance to the vehicle in front should be at least three car lengths or approx. 15 m. Outside built-up areas, you should follow the "two-second rule of thumb".

• ✅ Because I am badly visible to other road users

• ❌ Because I have to give right of way

• ❌ Because the direction of the road ahead demands it

Basically, you have the right of way, because you are on a priority road. However, to avoid a dangerous situation, you should still reduce your speed and be ready to brake, as the car driver of the car coming from the right-hand side might recognize you too late or miss you altogether. Due to the trees on the roadside his/her view is clearly limited.

• ❌ It is halved from 50 m to 25 m
• ❌ It is doubled from 15 m to 30 m
• ✅ It is quadrupled from 25 m to 100 m

According to the rule of thumb, the braking distance quadruples when the speed doubles. At 40 km/h, for example, it is 16 meters and at 80 km/h 64 meters.

• ❌ 70 km/h
• ❌ 90 km/h
• ✅ 50 km/h

If the visibility in fog is less than 50 meters, the driver must not drive faster than 50 km/h. This also applies when there's snowfall or heavy rain.

50 km/h is the legally prescribed maximum speed limit within cities. If this speed is exceeded, you will no longer be able to process information in time to react.

• ❌ 5 m or approximately 1 car length
• ✅ 15 m or approximately 3 car lengths
• ❌ 10 m or approximately 2 car lengths

In urban areas, as well as in city traffic, shorter distances are justified according to jurisdiction than out of town. The general "two-second distance" may be reduced to one second with attentive driving and favorable road conditions. At 50 km/h, this is about 15 meters. That's about three car lengths.

• ✅ I maintain my speed and continue driving as before

• ❌ I brake briefly in order that that the driver behind will reduce his speed

• ❌ I accelerate in order to create a large enough safety distance

The maximum speed limit on this road is 80 km/h. You drive 80 km/h. The driver driving behind you harasses you to drive quicker; he/she comes dangerously close and falls below the required safety distance. Keep your speed. If you try to increase the safety margin by accelerating, the driver behind you will probably also accelerate. Braking, even briefly, endangers you and the car behind.

• ✅ A dangerous left-hand bend

• ✅ An obstacle situated around the corner

• ❌ Cross-wise moving traffic before the summit

The danger sign warns of a sharp left turn. The crest blocks the view forward on the road. The curve is not visible. You have to expect a broken-down vehicle or another obstacle. Because of the road, there can be no cross traffic in front of the crest.

• ✅ As a rule, the distance from a car in front must be great enough to allow an overtaking car to pull in
• ❌ The distance from the car in front must not be greater than the length of your combination of vehicles in order to make best use of traffic space
• ❌ You may not drive faster than 60 km/h

Trains which are longer than 7 meters must keep a distance from the vehicle in front outside of built-up areas which has to be at least half the speed in meters. For cars with trailers, a maximum speed of 80 km/h applies outside the city. That would correspond to a distance of 40 m. This way, overtaking vehicles can go back into lane.

• ❌ It is quadrupled from 25 m to 100 m
• ✅ It is doubled from 15 m to 30 m
• ❌ It is halved from 50 m to 25 m

If the car driver doubles the speed of the vehicle, the braking distance doubles from 15 to 30 meters.

• ✅ 12.5 m
• ❌ 11.0 m
• ❌ 9.5 m

The normal braking distance of your car is determined by this rule of thumb: Speed ​​divided by 10 times speed divided by 10. To calculate the braking distance during emergency braking, the determined value is halved again (divided by 2). Here there means: 50/10 * 50/10 = 25, divided by 2 = 12.5 meters.

• ✅ - the stretch of road visible to me
• ❌ - half of the stretch of road visible to me
• ❌ - twice the stretch of road visible to me

With good visibility on a developed road, you must be able to stop within the assessable distance. At night, the range of the low beam is considered assessable.

• ✅ The emission of harmful substances increases
• ✅ Fuel consumption increases
• ❌ The noise level is reduced

Be aware that fast, high-speed driving results in high fuel consumption and high exhaust emissions. This also leads to more noise and to a not lower noise level.

• ✅ By up to 35 %
• ❌ By up to 10 %
• ❌ By up to 5 %

Compared to driving at the advisory speed limit of 130 km/h, the fuel consumption at a speed of 160 km/h usually increases very much. For example, the consumption of a mid-range car can rise by up to 35%.

• ✅ - increase to at least 50 m
• ❌ - increase to at least 25 m
• ❌ - remain the same

Keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you outside of closed areas that is at least half the speed in meters. At 100 km/h, the safety distance should therefore be at least 50 meters.

• ❌ A distance of 15 metres
• ❌ 'A "distance of 1 second"'
• ✅ 'A "distance of 2 seconds"'

When driving behind another vehicle, you need to maintain the so-called "two-second distance" to be able to stop in time. At a speed of 80 km/h, this corresponds to about 40 meters.

• ❌ 1/5 the speedometer reading in metres
• ✅ 1/2 the speedometer reading in metres

Outside built-up areas, the distance to the vehicle in front must be at least half the mileage in meters, that means at 100 km/h the distance should be about 50 meters. Even the so-called 'two-second distance' was legally recognized.

• ❌ ({Speed in km/h}/{10} x 3) : 2
• ✅ ({Speed in km/h}/{10} x {Speed in km/h}/{10}) : 2
• ❌ ({Speed in km/h}/{10} x 5) : 2

The rule of thumb for determining the stopping distance is: thinking distance (speed divided by 10 times 3) plus braking distance (speed divided by 10 times speed divided by 10). At 50 km/h, this is 50 divided by 10 times 3 equals 15 m thinking distance plus 50 divided by 10 times 50 divided by 10 equals 25 m braking distance. The stopping distance is 40 m. In case of emergency braking, this value is halved. That would be 20 m in this example.

StVO § 4 Abs.2: "Motor vehicles subject to a special speed restriction and vehicules longer than 7 meters must keep a fixed distance from other vehicles in front of them so they can be overtaken by other passing vehicles. ..) "

• ✅ I avoid jerky steering movements

• ❌ I brake hard while in the bend

Drive carefully, slowly and avoid abrupt steering or braking because any time may occur snow or black ice.

The stopping distance during normal braking consists of the addition of reaction distance ((speed/10) x 3) and braking distance (speed/10) x (speed/10). Stopping distance = reaction distance + braking distance. That means at a speed of 50 km/h, the stopping distance is 40 meters.

With snow chains, the maximum speed is 50 km/h. If that speed is exceeded, the driving stability is impaired and the road gets damaged.

Braking distance = (speed/10) x (speed/10) That means at a speed of 100 km/h, the braking distance is 100 meters.

The stopping distance during normal braking consists of the addition of reaction distance ((speed: 10) x 3) and braking distance (speed: 10) x (speed: 10). Stopping distance = reaction path + braking distance. At a speed of 100 km/h, the stopping distance is 130 meters. "

Reaction distance = (speed/10) x 3 That means at a speed of 50 km/h, the braking distance is 15 meters.

Reaction path = (speed/10) x 3 That means at a speed of 100 km/h, the braking distance is 30 meters.

If a lorry with a maximum mass of 3.0 tonnes is driven by a trailer, it may be driven outside of built-up areas at a maximum speed of 80 km/h.

You have to adjust (right over left) and on a restricted road you Due to the weather and the appropriate conditions on the road, on an extended stopping distance, on a signal coming from the right vehicle.

It also depends on your speed: At twice the speed, the braking distance will be four times as long - from 9m at 30 km/h to 36m at 60 km/h.

On a narrow street you have to stop within half the visibility, in this case 25m.

For vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes of gross vehicle weight and without trailer, the maximum speed limit is 100 km/h.

Braking distance = (speed/10) x (speed/10) That means that at a speed of 50 km/h, the braking distance is 25 meters.

If a trailer is carried along with a passenger car, it may be driven outside of built-up areas at a maximum speed of 80 km/h.

• ✅ Applying the brakes for a longer time will diminish the braking response

• ✅ The braking distance is longer

• ❌ The braking response will be better if no gear is engaged

If you do not obstruct or endanger passengers getting on or off the tram, you may slowly drive past the stopping tram at walking speed. What is important here is that passengers have absolute priority in this situation and do not have to let flowing traffic through. If necessary, you, as the driver, must stop and wait.

Reduce the speed and oversee the two children. Be careful and ready to brake. Stop if the behavior of the children makes this necessary.

• ❌ They will wait at the curb because they always correctly judge the speed and distance of approaching vehicles
• ✅ They will turn around on the zebra crossing for no apparent reason and run back
• ✅ They will run onto the zebra crossing without paying attention to traffic

In principle, children do not have the necessary training to behave following the rules in road traffic at all times. It is therefore conceivable that they may not know the meaning of a crosswalk and enter the road despite approaching vehicles or suddenly run back after crossing it.

• ✅ I get out of the car and help the person in the wheelchair
• ✅ I stop and switch on the hazard warning lights
• ❌ I honk the horn and drive around the person

You should help the person. To do this, you may stop and switch on the hazard warning lights to warn other road users of possible dangers. It is not permitted to honk the horn and drive around the person in this situation. This would frighten and unsettle the wheelchair user.

• ✅ I overtake it, leaving plenty of room on the side because the wheelchair may swing out
• ❌ I honk the horn to indicate that the person is not behaving correctly
• ✅ I follow behind the wheelchair until I can overtake it

Disabled and older people sometimes do not behave properly due to physical restrictions. Therefore, please be particularly careful and be considerate. Expect the wheelchair user to suddenly and unexpectedly avoid the road and drive further into the lane. In such situations, it is not permitted to use the horn or drive around the person at high speed.

• ✅ some children will turn around again

• ✅ the children will not get off the road in time

• ❌ all children will wait on the pavement

If there is a ball on the road, it can be assumed that a child will come for it. For you as a car driver, this means stopping immediately so that the child can pick up the ball safely. With children you must reckon with the fact that they behave contrary to traffic and cannot estimate dangers correctly.

The following applies here: Reduce speed immediately, be ready to brake and drive slowly past the situation. When children are playing, it is to be assumed that they do not pay attention to traffic and do not behave in a traffic-compatible manner.

• ✅ slow to walking pace immediately

• ✅ remain ready to brake

• ❌ drive past at the same speed

Most likely, a ball that will roll on the street will be followed by a running child without paying attention to the traffic. Slow down your vehicle immediately at walking pace. Be especially careful and ready to brake!

• ✅ - will move onto the roadway without paying attention
• ❌ - will get off their bicycles and wait until the roadway is clear
• ✅ - will move too far onto the roadway

Especially children who are not too familiar with the traffic rules tend to perform unpredictable maneuvers. You should, therefore, make sure, especially at the end of a cycle path, that young road users can drive onto the road without warning. It is also common for children to ride side by side in groups, which can cause them to swing off onto their lane.

• ❌ Because [the white van] is moving off

• ✅ Because there is a child on the carriageway

• ✅ Because the traffic situation is confusing

The child behind the standing truck on the left runs towards the road. You cannot tell if it will stop. Therefore, be especially attentive and careful in this confusing traffic situation. Drive slowly and be ready to brake.

• ✅ - will push each other onto the roadway
• ✅ - will also start running when the light is red because they cannot wait since it's taking them too long
• ✅ - will already start running when the traffic lights in my driving direction change from green to amber

Due to a lack of life experience and inadequate education, children do not always behave following the rules in road traffic and, for example, get onto the road during a battle. You should also be aware that children may suddenly run across the street, even if their traffic lights are still red or if they are bypassing the traffic lights.

• ✅ - not overtake the bus while it is still moving

• ✅ - pass the stationary bus at walking speed provided you are sure that passengers are not endangered

• ❌ - overtake the bus while it is still moving

If a public bus or school bus has switched on its hazard lights and is still driving, you must not overtake it. When the bus stops at the bus stop, you can drive past at walking pace and at a suitable distance. This is necessary in order not to endanger the passengers getting in and out. When you're driving on the opposite lane, you must also slow down or stop to ensure passenger safety.

• ❌ - not impede me as I proceed

• ✅ - turn to the left

• ✅ - go to the other side of the road

It is always possible that cyclists do not behave in a roadworthy manner. A cyclist could turn left or change sides without showing a hand signal. With two cyclists, the second may also follow the first without a hand signal. You should, therefore, be ready to brake, even if the cyclists continue straight ahead.

• ✅ - are oncoming

If the hazard lights of a bus are switched on at a stop, all vehicles must pass the bus at walking speed in both directions. A hazard or hindrance to the passengers getting in and out of the bus needs to be ruled out.

• ✅ Brake early, to clearly indicate to the pedestrians that I am allowing them to cross

• ❌ Arc around the pedestrians, to avoid impeding the following traffic

• ❌ Continue driving, even if the pedestrians stop briefly

At pedestrian crossings pedestrians always have absolute priority. Therefore, brake in good time and clearly visible. This way, pedestrians can easily see that you fulfill your duty of waiting and are able to step onto the road. Even if the pedestrians are still standing at the roadside, it is absolutely forbidden to continue driving.

• ❌ Continue driving as before so as not to impede the traffic behind you
• ❌ Sound your horn and continue driving
• ✅ Drive slower and be ready to brake

Children playing on the sidewalk may unexpectedly run onto the road. The principle of trust does not apply. You must slow down and be ready to brake.

• ❌ This person belongs to a particular profession
• ✅ I am obliged to behave in a particular way towards this person
• ✅ The wearer is disabled

If you see a person on the side of the road wearing a yellow armband with three black dots, this means for you that the principle of trust does not apply. You are now obliged to exercise greater diligence. This is because the armband indicates a physical limitation in the form of severe visual impairment. If the visually impaired wear this armband and/or a white cane, they are permitted in traffic unaccompanied.

• ✅ Wait to allow pedestrians to cross the road

• ❌ Continue driving, because there is sufficient time before the pedestrians have reached my side of the road

• ❌ Continue driving, because there are pedestrians on the left side of the road only

When pedestrians wait at a crosswalk to cross the street, they have priority. This also applies if they are standing on the left side of the road. You should brake early on. The pedestrians must be able to recognize that you are fulfilling your obligation to stop. Even if the pedestrians initially stop and wait, they must still be able to clearly see that you are giving them the right of way.

• ✅ - turn back, after half-way
• ✅ - be inattentive
• ✅ - come to a sudden stop

If a pedestrian crosses the road, it is not certain whether he will continue to the opposite side of the road. It is also possible that he stops, reverses or proceeds with a delay.

• ✅ - child

• ❌ - [SUV]

• ❌ - motorbike

If a transporter parks in front of a house and a child runs out of that house, it may run out onto the road directly in front of the transporter. Children rarely pay attention to traffic. Therefore, you should be able to brake immediately in an emergency. You should lower your driving speed.

• ✅ They will unexpectedly walk onto the road
• ✅ Sometimes they turn back half-way across
• ✅ They will look neither left nor right

Crosswalks have a protective function for pedestrians. They give them priority over other road users. Some pedestrians trust this protection thoughtlessly and cross the road without paying attention to the traffic. At crosswalks, be aware that pedestrians and especially elderly or needy people could enter the road without looking left and right. It is also possible for pedestrians to turn back halfway at a red traffic light.

• ❌ That all adults obey the road traffic regulations
• ✅ That cyclists are inattentive
• ✅ That children playing run onto the road

Low traffic in residential areas often gives children and adults a sense of high security. Many road users in these areas are reckless, which often leads to improper behavior on the road. In such areas, you should always be prepared for children playing, inattentive cyclists and pedestrians suddenly entering the road. Drive particularly carefully and attentively, as children cannot properly assess the dangers of road traffic.

• ✅ Vehicles in both lanes must stop if passengers would otherwise be endangered

• ❌ The vehicles in the left lane may pass the bus without paying any special attention

• ✅ The bus may be passed in either lane but no faster than at walking speed

If a bus is stopped at a bus stop and its hazard warning lights are turned on, you as the driver may only drive past the bus at walking speed on the same lane. Keep a safe distance. If necessary, stop and wait. The reason for this is the safety of bus passengers, which is always a priority. This also applies to road users traveling on the same lane in oncoming traffic

• ❌ Avoid hitting it
• ❌ Continue driving
• ✅ Brake

If a ball rolls in front of your vehicle in a residential area, it is likely that a child will suddenly run onto the road. Therefore, you must slow down and be ready to stop, as the principle of trust does not apply in this case.

• ✅ You may pass the bus provided that you do so with care

• ❌ As you are coming from the opposite direction, you do not need to worry about the bus

• ✅ Cars coming from the opposite direction may pass the bus provided that they do so with care

If a bus stops at a bus stop, you must always approach carefully. You have to stop behind the bus and you are only allowed to go past it at walking pace when you are sure you're not endangering anyone. The set hazard warning lights show: The stop is dangerous. This way, school buses warn from children who are getting off. They could suddenly come out in front of the bus and cross the lane or run to the bus to catch it.

• ✅ - may not be endangered

• ✅ - may not be impeded

You should always take particular precautions when approaching children in traffic. In this situation, you must expect that the small child will continue riding on the road from behind the transporter. Slow down to walking speed, stay alert and ready to brake at all times. If necessary, stop the vehicle if you are not sure how the child will behave. It would be gross negligence to just honk the horn and keep driving.

• ✅ They frequently have poorer sight and hearing
• ✅ They frequently misjudge the speed of vehicles
• ✅ They frequently react more slowly and are less mobile

Older road users have poorer vision, poorer hearing, slower reaction and incorrect assessment of vehicle speeds. Be prepared that these people recognize dangers too late and react too late or not at all.

• ❌ Yes, because the bus will begin moving immediately

• ✅ Yes, because pedestrians not alighting from the bus could cross the road

• ✅ Yes, because passengers could cross the road from in front of the bus

As the bus is stopped at the bus stop and is blinking on the right, you should drive past it very carefully. There is also a person standing directly in front of the bus and in your immediate vicinity. You have to be aware that passengers will get off the bus. Other people may approach the bus from the other side of the street and want to get on. You should slow down your speed so that you can brake immediately if necessary.

On the right you see the sign of a parking lot. Expect pedestrians to walk away from or towards their parked cars. Since the sidewalks are impassable due to the snow masses, pedestrians might have to walk on the road. The weather leads to slippery streets and extends your braking distance. Drive slowly.

• ❌ - give a warning signal
• ❌ - continue driving at the same speed
• ✅ - reduce speed and stop if necessary

A white cane shows you that this road user is blind or at least severely visually impaired. This cane is also an indicator that the person is allowed to take part in traffic without being accompanied. The blind and visually impaired must always be met with increased consideration. Decrease your speed and stop if necessary. Honking is not appropriate: you would scare and unsettle the person.

• ✅ Pedestrians will run across the road to the tram-stop island

Pedestrians have to wait at these traffic islands. This means that you are allowed to drive past the tram even if the tram doors are still open. However, potentially dangerous situations arise frequently as people often behave carelessly when getting on and off the tram. For example, passengers simply run across the road to reach the tram without paying attention to traffic.

• ❌ - be easily recognised due to their engine noise
• ✅ - be deceptively fast
• ✅ - look very similar to conventional bicycles

E-bikes are just as quiet as classic bikes and are therefore often perceived late. However, they often achieve significantly higher speeds than wheels without an engine. This is underestimated by many road users, so surprising dangerous situations can occur. In general, expect cyclists to gain speed and perform speedy maneuvers.

• ✅ - swing out to the left before turning
• ❌ - move well over to the right
• ✅ - reduce speed drastically

Keep a large distance to the truck and never overtake on the right side, even if you as a cyclist would have the opportunity to do so. The truck must first reduce its speed for turning. For reasons of space, the truck driver then has to steer the towing vehicle far to the left, if necessary, so that the trailer or the semitrailer does not roll over the curb when turning.

You can see that the bike path ends right in front of you. The cyclist would have to stop and wait until she can safely merge into the flowing traffic. However, expect that she doesn't stop, but pans in front of you on the road.

• ✅ - will swing far out to the left when turning
• ❌ - cannot swing out due to rear-wheel steering
• ✅ - will slow down drastically before turning

The combine will have to swing out in order to turn, because the turn is very narrow. He will greatly reduce his speed. Keep your distance and also drive slowly and ready to brake. Especially for cyclists applies: never overtake on the right!

You don't have to slow down because of pedestrians. He is far enough away from the constriction. The red vehicle is standing and is therefore no reason to slow down as well. However, reduce the speed because of the cyclist. He could change lanes without a hand signal and bring about a dangerous situation.

• ✅ The speed of my vehicle
• ❌ 1.0 m between the cyclist and the car is always sufficient
• ✅ How the cyclists are acting

If you want to overtake a cyclist, you must consider the following with regard to the side clearance: The side clearance must be at least 1.5 m and more in case of conspicuous behavior of the cyclist. The reasons for this are possible pendulum movements of the cyclist, but also the possible suction effect of your vehicle at higher speed. Honking and overtaking with a smaller side clearance are considered gross negligence.

• ✅ - drive as far to the right as possible
• ❌ - switch on parking light
• ✅ - Avoid making noise

Drive as far to the right as possible when you encounter a horse-drawn carriage. Do not honk and do not drive at high motor speed. The animals could be sensitive to noise and be frightened. It might happen that they break out and run on your side of the road.

• ✅ Because my speed can be underestimated
• ✅ Because I can be easily overlooked
• ✅ Because I am at greater risk of injury in the event of an accident

Particularly in the case of limited visibility conditions such as fog and darkness, the small silhouette of the cyclist will only be recognized late or not at all. In addition, the small construction makes it difficult to estimate its speed. In the event of a collision, two-wheelers offer less protection than most other motor vehicles.

• ✅ I stop

• ❌ I drive carefully past to the right of the truck

• ❌ I move into the middle lane now

You see that the truck wants to turn in front of you. The vehicle obscures the view of the traffic, so you need to adjust your speed. The truck probably swings out to take the curve. He might stop abruptly to let pedestrians or other road users pass.

• ✅ A traffic paddle is displayed
• ✅ A flashing indicator
• ✅ The driver extends his arm

When a horse-drawn carriage wants to change its driving direction, it can be recognized by one of the following signs: The horse-drawn carriage indicates; the coachman beckons with his arm or with a signaling disk.

• ✅ - the most space to the side as possible
• ✅ - as little noise as possible
• ❌ - a high engine speed

Drive past the horses at an appropriate speed and with as much distance as possible. The animals may be frightened by sudden and loud noises such as a car horn or high engine speed, and may bolt. Therefore, avoid noise and proximity.

• ✅ Of vehicles speeding

• ✅ That junctions will not be noticed

• ✅ That children may run onto the road

You pass through a residential area. The road is wide and you are tempted to drive fast. But beware: Playing children can suddenly jump on the road. If you drive too fast, you will not be able to react and brake in time. In addition, you may overlook cross roads or T-junctions. In residential areas, "Left yields to right" is often the case: you must give priority to vehicles coming from the right.

• ✅ The rear lights may be heavily soiled or concealed, making direction signals difficult or impossible to see when they are on
• ❌ Farm tractors can always be overtaken safely due to their low speed
• ✅ The mounted implement can swing out when the tractor turns off

You should always refrain from an overtaking maneuver when the tractor wants to turn. The reason for this is that the tractor has a large turning circle and is likely to veer, blocking the road. Also keep in mind that the turn signals of such a vehicle are not always visible and that they could be covered by dirt due to the agricultural use.

• ✅ Particularly when braking or turning, parts of the load can fall off
• ❌ The braking distance of the combination of vehicles is particularly short because of its load
• ✅ The indicators may be concealed, making it difficult to see when the combination of vehicles wishes to turn off

If you drive behind an agricultural vehicle with a heavy trailer, you must expect that a part of the cargo could fall on the roadway when the driver is turning or braking. The turn signal could be dirty or covered by cargo. The braking distance of the vehicle is extended by the weight of the load.

• ✅ Be ready to brake

• ❌ Continue driving as before

• ✅ Reduce speed

The driver of the vehicle coming out of the exit cannot see the cross traffic. He would have to be marshaled into traffic. He could continue to drive forward and prevent you from continuing your journey. You should throttle your speed, be ready to brake, if necessary, stop.

• ✅ - rush onto the road without thinking
• ❌ - always conduct themselves properly on the road
• ✅ - ride their bicycles onto the road without paying attention

In school areas you always have to be aware of children who suddenly cross the street. Children are not yet able to assess themselves and other road users well and often react impulsively and not in a way they should behave. As a car driver, you have to adapt your driving style accordingly to avoid any danger to the children. In addition to a low driving speed, you must above all be particularly attentive and always ready to brake.

• ❌ I overtake at a moderate speed
• ❌ I give a short warning signal before overtaking
• ✅ I refrain from overtaking

To avoid danger, you as a driver always have to maintain a safe distance of at least 1.50 meters when overtaking cyclists. If it is not possible to drive past the cyclist at such a distance, you must not overtake him.

• ✅ - watch out for oncoming traffic
• ✅ - drive past carefully
• ✅ - drive past maintaining sufficient space to the side

It is allowed to drive past a public bus that stops at a bus stop. When passing by, you will usually get into the traffic lane of oncoming traffic. Therefore, pay particular attention to oncoming traffic. It is still wrong to drive as close to the bus as possible though. Because this way you might endanger pedestrians. It is not necessary to drive at walking speed, but drive very carefully.

• ✅ Regular buses
• ❌ Taxis
• ✅ School buses

You have to give priority to public and school buses that want to drive away from marked stops, as long as they announce their intention of departure, for example, by indicating. Exceptions are taxis, as these are not bound to fixed stops and timetables.

• ✅ My speed
• ✅ That there is sufficient space to the side
• ✅ For pedestrians on the road

You may drive past a public bus, a tram or a designated school bus only with caution and sufficient lateral distance when the vehicle is waiting at a stop. The same rule applies if the bus is standing in oncoming traffic. Careless people may be on the road, and you, as a car driver, must pay particular attention to this.

• ❌ A reduction in speed is only necessary when a school bus is stopping there

• ❌ Speed must not be reduced when a bus stops at a stopping bay

• ✅ Reduce your speed and be ready to brake

This stop is a bus stop where school buses operate at the times indicated. If you approach this stop, you will have to expect children who suddenly run onto the road; the principle of trust does not apply in this case. If a school bus is in the passenger bay or on the street, you have to be able to brake as a car driver; You may only drive past at walking speed.

• ❌ In order that vehicles following behind can overtake more easily
• ✅ In order that pedestrians are not unduly alarmed
• ✅ In order to avoid rear-end collisions

Approaching this area defensively and braking slowly shows pedestrians that you are complying with your duty of waiting. This allows pedestrians to safely cross the road. In addition, you avoid rear-end collisions by stopping in a timely manner.

• ✅ I get ready to stop
• ✅ I refrain from overtaking
• ❌ I overtake the waiting vehicles taking extra care

Approach the pedestrian crossing at moderate speed and signal that you are compliant. If there is eye contact with the pedestrian, emphasize this with gestures. If lowering the speed is not sufficient to enable the pedestrian to cross the route, you have to stop. Before and on pedestrian crossings, no other vehicle may be overtaken.

• ✅ I allow the cyclist to cross the road
• ❌ I sound my horn and continue driving without giving way to the cyclist
• ❌ I only brake just short of the pedestrian crossing

The cyclist acts contrary to road traffic regulations. He has to dismount before crossing the pedestrian crossing. However, as a car driver who approaches the pedestrian crossing cautiously and at a moderate pace, you will not run him over. That too would be contrary to road traffic regulations. You stop for the cyclist on the pedestrian crossing, if necessary, and let him/her pass.

• ✅ If the view of the pedestrian crossing is restricted
• ✅ If pedestrians want to cross the road
• ✅ If another vehicle is already waiting at the pedestrian crossing

Generally, motorists have to approach a pedestrian crossing cautiously. Particular caution is advised when people want to cross the road or the view of the pedestrian crossing is limited, for example by an already waiting vehicle in front of the pedestrian crossing. Under no circumstances should you overtake this vehicle.

• ❌ - cyclist

• ✅ - blue truck

• ✅ - refuse truck

A garbage truck comes towards the blue truck and forces him to stop. Since the garbage truck could swing out and get on your lane as it turns, you'll need to wait for the vehicle to be properly merged. The cyclist is no reason for braking.

• ✅ I stop because a man wants to cross the pedestrian crossing

• ❌ I continue driving slowly, because there is no indication that any pedestrian wants to cross the pedestrian crossing

• ❌ I stop because a child behind the van is going to walk onto the road

At a pedestrian crossing you have to allow the pedestrians to cross the road. The pedestrian from the right comes running fast and could run into the street. Drive at moderate speed and stop if necessary.

• ✅ Slow down to walking speed
• ❌ Only proceed at walking speed if passengers want to cross the roadway
• ❌ Proceed at the same speed since the bus has stopped on the other side of the roadway

Even if the bus is on the side of oncoming traffic, you are obliged to drive past the bus at walking pace as soon as it stops with the hazard light on. This is also the case when no pedestrians want to cross the street. Likewise, a sufficiently large safety distance must be maintained in order not to endanger persons entering or leaving. The car driver must guarantee all pedestrians safe crossing of the road and, if necessary, wait for them.

• ❌ - overtake [the cyclist], because there is no oncoming traffic visible

• ✅ - not overtake [the cyclist]

• ❌ - only overtake [the cyclist] at a moderate speed
