Drivers must switch to low beam headlights within 150 meters when approaching another vehicle at night to prevent blinding the other driver and ensure safe visibility for both vehicles.

Parking in front of a driveway is illegal, regardless of the situation. It blocks access to the property and can inconvenience the residents. Always park in designated parking spaces to avoid fines or towing.

When traffic lights are out of order, no one has automatic priority. Drivers should approach the intersection cautiously, slow down, and follow the "first come, first go" rule or yield to the left. Communication through eye contact and hand signals can also help avoid confusion and ensure safety.

Pedestrians have the right of way, especially if they are already crossing. Stopping ensures their safety and prevents accidents.

If a driver has left their left indicator on, it may be unsafe to overtake as they might still turn unexpectedly. It’s best to stay behind and wait until you are sure of their intentions to avoid a possible collision.

You should stop, and then move slowly until you have a clear view to ensure it is safe to proceed. Moving cautiously helps avoid collisions with unseen oncoming traffic.

When preparing to make a turn, you should reduce your speed and signal well in advance. This lets other drivers and pedestrians know your intentions, helping to avoid accidents. It's important to approach the turn safely, with enough time to adjust your speed and ensure proper control of your vehicle.

Giving extra space allows you to safely react to any sudden movements or gusts of wind that may cause instability. Avoid overtaking until it is safe to do so.

Alcohol affects the central nervous system and impairs various functions, including coordination, judgment, and reaction time. When you consume alcohol, it slows your reaction time, making it harder to respond quickly to sudden situations on the road. This can be dangerous for both the driver and others. It does not directly affect your vehicle or brakes, nor does it increase alertness.

Alcohol reduces concentration, slows your reactions, impairs coordination, and makes it harder to stay aware of your surroundings, which significantly increases the risk of accidents.

At a T-junction, if your view is obstructed due to parked vehicles, you should ease forward cautiously until you can see clearly without crossing the give-way lines. This helps ensure that you have a clear view of oncoming traffic from both directions before proceeding safely.

Therefore, warning road signs are indicated on triangular signboards.

Parking lights (also called sidelights) are used when visibility is reduced but not enough to require full headlights. They help other road users see your vehicle, especially when parked on roads where lighting conditions are poor.

When you change to a lower gear, the engine provides more resistance, which slows down the vehicle without relying too much on the brakes. This technique, known as engine braking, helps maintain control, especially on steep descents or in slippery conditions.

Carbon fouling on spark plugs usually means that the engine is running too rich (too much fuel relative to air), which can be caused by improper tuning. This can lead to poor combustion and deposits on the spark plug.

On-board diagnostics (OBD) indicator, often called the Check Engine Light, signals an issue with the engine or fuel emissions system. It suggests that the vehicle needs servicing.

The warning light shown in the image represents the airbag warning light, which is part of the Secondary Restraint System (SRS). This system includes airbags and seatbelt pretensioners, which work together to protect occupants in the event of a collision. If this light appears on the dashboard, it indicates a potential issue with the airbag system that should be checked by a professional.

Seat belts are fitted in vehicles for safety on both long and short trips. They help protect you in case of an accident, regardless of the length of your journey.
