IV. NON-CRITICAL AND SPECIFIC REPEATING ERRORS
1. The Description of the Criteria and Methods for Assessing Motor Vehicle Driving Skills and Abilities (hereinafter, the Description) establishes the assessment criteria and methods applied during the practical test of motor vehicle (hereinafter, TP) driving skills and abilities (hereinafter, the exam).
2. The provisions of the Description apply at the public limited liability company “Regitra” (hereinafter, AB “Regitra”) when examining persons seeking to acquire the right to drive a motor vehicle of a particular category, regain that right, or exchange a driving licence (hereinafter, the examinee).
If the Description does not indicate to which category or type of TP the provision applies, it is considered that it applies to the examination of all categories and types of TP, except for those TPs whose structural and driving features do not allow an objective assessment of the examinee's skills.
The terms used in the Description have the meanings defined in the Republic of Lithuania Law on Road Traffic Safety and in the Road Traffic Rules approved by the Government of the Republic of Lithuania in 2002, on December 11, by Resolution No. 1950, “On the Approval of the Road Traffic Rules”.

3.4.2. use the accelerator to maintain a constant speed;
3.4.3. when going uphill, use the accelerator more than changing gears to maintain a constant speed;
3.4.4. maintain a constant speed, do not increase the speed too much when driving a turn (bend);
3.4.5. increase speed only when exiting a turn (bend), taking into account how the driving trajectory is returned to a straight line;
3.4.6. when driving a TP with an automatic gearbox in a turn (curve) and on a slippery road, control the accelerator pedal gently so that the lower gear engages a little earlier than necessary before a turn (curve) or a section of road surface that is more slippery than the previous one;
3.4.7. control the accelerator after evaluating the changes in driving direction, speed, road surface and profile in such a way that the TP does not jerk and the tires do not lose grip on the road surface;
3.4.8. when finishing the gear shift, adjust the engine speed to the driving speed;
3.4.9. release the accelerator pedal and use the TP's inertia before stopping at a predetermined location (at an intersection with a traffic light, stop sign, etc.) or other situations.
3.5. Gear selection: properly select and use all gears according to the speed of the TP and its technical data and traffic conditions, reducing fuel consumption and emissions:
3.5.1. make sure that the selected gear will allow you to move from the place in the required direction without overloading the engine;
3.5.2. shift gears smoothly so that the TP does not jerk;
3.5.3. engage (switch) the gear in three seconds or less (the time from the start of pressing the clutch lever until it is released);
3.5.4. choose a gear that matches the speed and driving conditions, so that the TP does not start to slide, the engine is not overloaded or does not work at too high a speed, drive smoothly and evenly, as much as possible, in a higher gear:
3.5.4.1. before stopping, do not engage a lower gear unnecessarily;
3.5.4.2. allow the TP to coast in neutral before stopping at a predetermined place (at an intersection displaying a prohibitory traffic-light signal, at a “Stop” sign, etc.);
3.5.4.3. (category B) engage the second gear after starting to drive and driving a distance of no more than one car length, except for cases when driving at a speed of up to 20 km/h in slow-moving traffic or in a parking lot, in the yard of an apartment building, or when it is necessary to move from a place on a slope, or due to limited visibility, the width of the carriageway, the nature of maneuvers;
3.5.4.4. (Category B) to drive at a speed of 30 km/h or more, with engagement of at least third gear;
3.5.4.5. (Category B) drive at a speed of 50 km/h or more, with engagement of at least fourth or fifth gear;
3.5.4.6. (Category B) drive at a speed of 70 km/h or more, in at least fifth or sixth gear (if available);
3.5.5. shifting into gear a little earlier than necessary (like before going down a steep hill);
3.5.6. select the correct gear (if necessary) before:
3.5.6.1. when entering a road section where you need to slow down or stop (intersections, railway crossings, pedestrian crossings, residential areas or areas where there may be pedestrians, cyclists and parked vehicles);
3.5.6.2. when turning at an intersection or entering the territory next to the road;
3.5.6.3. bending over;
3.5.7. shift gears when the car is going straight, i.e. i.e. release the clutch pedal while the TP is driving straight, because the gear shift is not complete until the clutch pedal is fully released;
3.5.8. change gears in a turn, bend or intersection only if the steering wheel is not turned at the same time and if the gear change does not prevent the TP from moving smoothly and evenly;
3.5.9. when driving downhill, select the appropriate gear so that the engine helps with braking (if necessary) and the main brakes are not used too much or for too long;
3.5.10. select a gear that allows you to leave the TP parked safely:
3.5.10.1. TP with a manual gearbox is engaged in first gear if the TP is parked on a flat surface or on a slope, or in reverse gear if the TP is parked on a slope;
3.5.10.2. In TP with automatic transmission, the gear selector is in the parking position.
3.6. Steering in the right way:
3.6.1. during the maneuver, make sure that the TP is moving in the right direction;
3.6.2. maintain an accurate trajectory when driving straight, turning (turning) or exiting it;
3.6.3. do not hold the steering wheel too tightly - so that the force of the hands acting on the steering wheel does not prevent smooth and precise turns of the steering wheel;
3.6.4. hold the steering wheel with both hands if not using other control devices;
3.6.5. turn the steering wheel smoothly so that the TP travels along the selected trajectory;
3.6.6. be able to turn the steering wheel more if needed;
3.6.7. when driving straight, hold the car steering wheel from the outside so that the palms show "twenty past two" or "fifteen past three", if we imagine the steering wheel as a clock face;
3.6.8. if, returning the driving trajectory to a straight line, allows the steering wheel to slip between the fingers, the TP must drive the correct trajectory;
3.6.9. (Category B) when the TP is left parked in a place marked with warning signs:
3.6.9.1. on a slope - turn the front wheels to the curb or roadside;
3.6.9.2. on a slope without a curb - turn the front wheels to the side of the road;
3.6.9.3. on a slope with a curb - turn the front wheels away from the curb.
3.7. Braking:
3.7.1. stop and hold in place with the TP service brake:
3.7.1.1. without overloading any mechanical parts of the TP;
3.7.1.2. so that the TP does not jerk;
3.7.1.3. safely with the engine running;
3.7.1.4. hold the TP in place until the gear is engaged;
3.7.2. use the brakes in a manner appropriate to the traffic situation:

3.7.2.3. choose the most suitable part of the road surface for braking;
3.7.2.4. brake the engine when driving downhill;
3.7.2.5. so that the TP does not slip;
3.7.2.6. change the braking force depending on the road terrain;
3.7.2.7. slow down before downshifting;
3.7.2.8. before a turn or a bend, release the brake pressure a little to increase the influence of the steering wheel: before a turn or a curve, brake more forcefully, and before starting to turn the steering wheel, release the brake pressure a little to ensure sufficient tire grip on the road surface;
3.7.2.9. vary the braking force until the TP is completely stopped;
3.7.2.10. stop the TP as close as possible to the indicated place (at a distance of no more than 1 meter - when the stopping place is indicated);
3.7.3. brake TP evenly:
3.7.3.1. brake gently at first, then vary pressure evenly as TP decelerates. Before stopping completely, reduce the pressure slightly to avoid jerking, then it is easy to increase it again;
3.7.3.2. operate the brake pedal with the right foot;
3.7.4. stop safely during the acceleration and precise stopping maneuver at the specified location;
3.7.5. when driving a motorcycle (moped), use the front and rear brakes when slowing down and stopping (when driving very slowly, only the rear brake can be used to increase stability):
3.7.6. use the parking brake only when the TP is stopped:
3.7.6.1. if you leave it parked or if you do not intend to start driving immediately;
3.7.6.2. if you need to move after stopping on a hill. It is not necessary to use the parking brake if you can move smoothly from a place without it;
3.7.6.3. check that the parking brake keeps the TP stopped;
3.7.7. move smoothly from a position on an uphill or downhill slope:
3.7.7.1. so that the TP does not roll in the direction opposite to the intended travel;
3.7.7.2. make sure the parking brake is fully released (disengaged).
3.7.8. Actions described in clauses 3.7.2.3, 3.7.2.6, 3.7.2.9 and 3.7.3.1 of the description shall not be assessed in cases where the examinee brakes suddenly but is in full control of the situation to avoid a hazard beyond his control.
3.8. Choice of position on the roadway:
3.8.1. Take a safe position on the TP roadway:
3.8.1.1. in relation to vehicles driving or standing in front of and nearby;

3.8.1.3. in relation to the TP approaching the crossed roads;
3.8.2. if it is safe and does not contradict the Road Traffic Rules, choose such a TP position that ensures the visibility of relevant areas of the road and makes it possible for other road users to see it as well as possible:
3.8.2.1. fall behind bulky TPs to ensure forward visibility of relevant road areas;
3.8.2.2. when approaching an intersection with poor visibility, move to the middle of the carriageway in order to see as far as possible behind the turns;
3.8.3. choose the position of the TP so that it is as far as possible from dangerous objects:
3.8.3.1. move as far to the right as possible when approaching the top of the hill or move to the left when driving past parked TPs;
3.8.3.2. drive in such a way that the distance between the examinee's vehicle and another traffic participant is safe, taking into account the traffic conditions.

3.15.1.6. to focus on what may cause or pose a risk and take preventive actions;
3.15.2. evaluation of this action must take into account the speed of the TP, any avoidable action by the examinee, and the dangerousness of the situation.
3.16. Decision making:
3.16.1. follow the right-of-way rules; assess the traffic situation and, not limited to the application of the provisions of the Road Traffic Rules, drive safely:
3.16.1.1. together with other TPs traveling in the same direction, when there is no need to constantly adjust the distance to other TPs traveling at the same speed;

3.16.2.3. starting to drive or entering the road;
3.16.2.4. bending over;
3.16.3. do what other road users expect, so as not to force other road users to take avoidable actions;
3.16.4. to plan and make the right decision in time, after properly assessing the speed and distance to any traffic object (TP or pedestrians), so as not to have to take sudden actions:
3.16.4.1. due to the actions of other road users;
3.16.4.2. due to the fact that you may have to change direction or speed suddenly due to changing road surface conditions, sharp turns or steep uphill and downhill slopes;
3.16.5. after making a mistake and finding yourself in a dangerous situation or violating road traffic rules, to correct the mistake before it creates an unsafe traffic situation;
3.16.6. not being able to pass freely, find a way to avoid a traffic hazard safely and without violating the Road Traffic Rules;
3.16.7. interact with other drivers, i.e. i.e. to help merge into the traffic flow, especially when the road is busy, to change lanes in time;
3.16.8. adapt their decisions and actions if signs of traffic danger are recognized in the behavior of other road users.
3.17. Choosing a safe distance: drive the TP so that:
3.17.1. the distance to the vehicles driving in front would be safe - at least a distance that can be covered in two seconds;
3.17.2. after stopping in traffic, the distance to the TP stopped in front would be sufficient to go around it, without using reverse gear to go around;
3.17.3. the distance to the vehicles driving or parked nearby would be safe in relation to the vehicle left standing - maneuver at such a distance that there is no doubt that the parked vehicle or other obstacle will not be in the way, and when the vehicle is parked in the parking space, the distance from the side would allow opening the car door;
3.18. Speed selection:
3.18.1. control the speed of the TP during maneuvers:
3.18.1.1. if necessary, maintain a speed slow enough to compensate for any error made;
3.18.1.2. TP must move smoothly;
3.18.2. choose the right speed before:
3.18.2.1. when switching to a lower gear, so that the TP does not jerk or the engine does not work at the revolutions indicated in the red sector of the tachometer scale;
3.18.2.2. when entering a road section where you need to slow down or stop (intersections, railway crossings, pedestrian crossings, residential areas and areas where there may be pedestrians, cyclists and parked vehicles);
3.18.2.3. when turning at an intersection or entering the territory next to the road;
3.18.2.4. bending over;
3.18.3. when approaching the top of a hill, an intersection, turn or bend with poor visibility, slow down until you see that it is safe to continue;
3.18.4. select the driving speed according to the distance at which the road is visible in front and from the sides:
3.18.4.1. at intersections, turns or bends with poor visibility;
3.18.4.2. at the top of the hill;
3.18.4.3. when driving past a TP left standing;
3.18.4.4. slow down in heavy rain, mist, fog, fog and smoke in order to stop after passing a visible section of the road;
3.18.5. reach and maintain the required speed by performing the special driving maneuvers described in Appendix 2 of the description.
3.18.6. drive at a speed appropriate to the traffic situation and the condition of the road surface, do not exceed the permitted speed. Even in light traffic, driving slower than normal in that situation means not only the inability to choose the right speed, but also many other actions that are performed too slowly (looking around, changing gears, braking, etc.).
3.19. Enforcement of traffic control signals, road signs and road marking requirements: to enforce any traffic control signal, road sign or road marking requirement; stop the TP as required by traffic control signals, road signs or road markings, select the appropriate traffic lanes for the necessary maneuvers according to road signs and road markings.
3.20. Consistency:
3.20.1. the correct sequence of actions that make up the TP control system (trajectory – mirrors – signals – speed – gears – mirrors – evasive actions – acceleration) when approaching any present or potential danger;
3.20.2. (categories BE, C1E, CE, D1E and DE) perform all necessary actions in the correct sequence to safely uncouple the trailer or semi-trailer (hereinafter, the trailer), park the tractor alongside the trailer, then drive to couple it again and prepare the TP combination for driving. When assessing whether the examinee has sufficient skills and abilities to uncouple and couple a trailer, uncoupling and coupling the trailer are assessed as two separate elements, i.e. as if the trailer were being coupled for the first time. When uncoupling or coupling the trailer, the sequence of actions depends on the trailer's structural features.
3.21. Balance and control of the motorcycle (moped): maintaining the balance and control of the motorcycle at various speeds and in various traffic conditions, performing the special driving maneuvers described in Appendix 2 of the description.
3.22. Seat: riding a motorcycle (moped) while sitting in a position that is safe and comfortable.
4. The examinee's skills and abilities are demonstrated by his actions. During the exam, the evaluated wrong or inappropriate actions of the examinee are divided into critical errors (hereinafter - KK), non-critical errors (hereinafter - NK) or specific repetitive errors (hereinafter - SPK). When evaluating each action, all additional factors (circumstances): road, weather and traffic conditions must be taken into account. If in a specific situation the circumstances of the road, weather or traffic do not provide grounds for objectively evaluating the examinee's action as a mistake, it is considered acceptable and the mistake is not evaluated.
The actions of an examinee taking the B Category TP exam combined with a trailer with a maximum permissible mass of more than 750 kg and a combination with a maximum permissible mass of more than 3,500 kg but not exceeding 4,250 kg are evaluated as the actions of an examinee taking the BE Category TP exam.
5.1. shows an inappropriate level of the examinee's skills, abilities or disrespect, carelessness towards other road users;
5.2. may cause or pose a threat to any road user, may interfere with or interfere with the safe operation of the TP (hereinafter - creates a potentially dangerous situation).
6. KK related to the examinee's skills and abilities, but not directly related to the actions described in Chapter II of the description, are called general critical errors (hereinafter - BKK). Four BKK are evaluated:
6.2. collision (running into an obstacle, etc.);
6.4. non-compliance with mandatory instructions.
7. NK - an action that shows an insufficient level of skill of the examinee, but does not by itself pose a threat to any road user or interfere with the safe operation of the TP, i.e. i.e. does not create a potentially dangerous situation. The totality of NK made by the examinee is evaluated. The total exam result includes:
7.1. no more than one NK performed by the examinee in the assessment of each step of the pre-driving inspection;
7.2. no more than six NKs committed by the examinee when assessing each action specified in point 8 of the Description;
7.3. no more than three NKs for evaluating each other step.
8. SPK is six NKs performing the same evaluated action. SPK can be marked by assessing:
8.1. clutch control (engine off and driving with the clutch off);
8.3. position selection during maneuvering - when performing the special driving maneuver described in paragraph 9.1 of Appendix 2 of the description (categories BE, C1E, CE, D1E and DE);
8.4. choice of position on the roadway;
8.5. monitoring the situation (looking over the shoulder);
8.6. the use of warning signals;
8.7. balance and motorcycle (moped) control (while driving a motorcycle (moped).
9. The exam is considered to have started after the examiner familiarizes the examinee with the conditions and procedure of the exam, answers the examinee's questions, the examinee familiarizes himself with the TP control and management equipment selected for him by AB "Regitra", tries to drive it and agrees to start the exam. Each wrong or inappropriate action of the examinee is counted as one error. If the examinee's action corresponds to several definitions of errors defined in the Description, the error whose definition is special in nature and more precisely corresponds to the evaluated action is evaluated. The number of mistakes made by the examinee determines the result of the exam. The examiner presents the mistakes made by the examinee, the assessment of his skills and abilities, and the result of the exam in the driving test report. The exam is evaluated as pass or fail.
10. The exam is assessed as failed if the examinee:
10.1. makes nine or more NK, which are included in the overall exam result;
10.2. makes six NK, which are evaluated as one SPK;
11. The exam is assessed as failed if it is interrupted due to the description of the conditions and procedure for the examination of motor vehicle drivers (hereinafter - the Examination Description), approved by the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania in 2008. September 10 by order no. 1V-329 "On approval of the description of conditions and procedures for the examination of motor vehicle drivers", the circumstances provided for in clauses 48.1 and 48.3. In this case and in the cases specified in point 13 of the description, the examinee, if he wishes, is returned back to AB "Regitra" driver examination center by the shortest possible route, and the TP intended for examination by AB "Regitra" is driven by the examiner.
12. The exam is evaluated as passed if there is no reason to evaluate it as failed.
13. The exam is not evaluated as passed or failed if it is interrupted due to unforeseen circumstances in accordance with Clause 48.2 of the Examination Description.

23.1. NK - Before the turn, the TP is more than 1 m from the right edge of the lane. This NK is evaluated when there are no reasons not to keep to the right edge (due to the dynamic characteristics of the TP, dimensions, visibility, obstacles, road configuration or surface characteristics, etc.);
23.2. NK - when starting, turning and/or completing a turn, the TP is more than 1 m from the right edge of the traffic lane. This NK is evaluated when there are no reasons not to keep to the right edge (due to the dynamic characteristics of the TP, dimensions, visibility, obstacles, road configuration or surface characteristics, etc.);
23.3. NK (categories C1, C, C1E, CE, D1, D, D1E and DE) - when completing a right turn, any part of the TP unnecessarily enters the lane of the opposite direction.

This NK cannot always be evaluated if the examinee is driving a TP, the design of which does not enable checking the invisible part of the road by looking over the shoulder;
25.3. NK - doesn't look back before going into reverse. This NK is also assessed when the examinee drives a B1 or B category TP and looks back only through the rear-view mirrors when starting to reverse. This NK is not assessed if the reversing is repeated, following immediately after a short stop (or driving forward) when the previous reversing was looked back and the traffic situation has not changed;
25.4. NK - distracts attention from the direction of travel for longer than is necessary for control, safety and control devices, but does not create a potentially dangerous situation;

26.2. NK (categories BE, C1, C, C1E, CE, D1, D, D1E and DE) - does not use the external rear-view mirrors during the reversing maneuver, i.e. i.e. looks only through the side and front windows.
27. Use of warning signals:
27.1. NK - does not display a turn signal to warn of its intentions when necessary, depending on the traffic situation. This NK is not evaluated when, due to certain circumstances (small distance between the nearest road to be crossed or the entrance to the territory next to the road and the place of the intended turn, etc.), it is not appropriate to do so;
27.2. NK – does not show a right turn signal before exiting the roundabout;
27.3. NK - indicates wrong direction turn signal. This NK is scored if the examinee turns in the opposite direction to the signal;
27.4. NK – does not turn off the turn light signal longer than it turns on three times after the maneuver;

30.2. NK - in adverse traffic conditions, the distance covered in less than four seconds, but greater than two seconds, to the TP driving in front. The examiner must assess the additional (longer) distances to be followed by TP drivers of categories C1, C, C1E, CE, D1, D, D1E, DE and T;
30.3. NK – keeps too small a lateral distance to an object that may pose a danger, but does not create a potentially dangerous situation;
30.4. NK – stops the TP leaving insufficient space from the TP stopped ahead to enable the examinee, if necessary, to drive around it without reversing.
31. Speed selection:
31.1. NK - Accelerates too quickly or too slowly, not properly taking into account the traffic conditions. If the examinee exceeds the speed while accelerating, it is evaluated as driving over the permitted speed with the corresponding errors defined in the Description;

This NK is also assessed when the examinee fails to reach the required speed, i.e. rides a motorcycle (moped) 10-15 km/h below the prescribed speed while performing the special driving manoeuvres described in Appendix 2 to the Description;
31.4. NK - drives exceeding the permitted speed by no more than 10 km/h. An error shall not be scored if the exceedance lasted no more than three seconds.

32.5. NK - intending to turn left at the intersection, enters the intersection after the TP driving in front, choosing a trajectory and position that does not ensure the best opportunity to observe other road users and exit the intersection.

43. Position selection when turning to the right:
43.1. KK - turns from a lane not designated for this purpose. If the examinee intends to turn right from the deceleration lane and does not switch to it in advance, it is considered as a choice of position on the carriageway KK;
43.2. KK – takes an inappropriate position and creates a potentially dangerous situation;
43.3. KK (all categories except AM, A1, A2 and A) - Turns so that a third of the TP or more protrudes unnecessarily into the oncoming lane.
44. Position selection when turning left:
44.1. KK - turns (turns) from a traffic lane not designated for this purpose. If the examinee intends to turn left from the deceleration lane and does not switch to it in advance, it is considered as choosing a position on the carriageway KK;
44.2. KK – takes an inappropriate position and creates a potentially dangerous situation;
44.3. KK (all categories except AM, A1, A2 and A) - turns so that a third of the TP or more when entering a turn (intersection of carriageways) or exiting a turn (intersection of carriageways) unnecessarily protrudes into the oncoming traffic lane;
44.4. KK (categories AM, A1, A2 and A) - when turning left, any part of the motorcycle (moped) or body protrudes into the oncoming traffic lane and creates a potentially dangerous situation.
45. Monitoring and reconnaissance of the situation:
45.1. KK – does not look around and observe the traffic situation before driving and/or, depending on visibility and other conditions, when driving through a railway crossing, intersection (or other place where you may have to give way to vehicles approaching from the right) or entering (exiting) the road from the areas adjacent to it;
45.2. KK - does not look and observe the traffic situation (neither through the mirrors nor over the shoulder) before changing lanes or otherwise changing the direction of travel when the TP moves to the side by its width or more. This KK is not evaluated when switching to the starting lane if, approaching its beginning, it can be seen that there are no obstacles and the trajectory ensures that another TP cannot occupy this lane first;
45.3. KK – diverts the gaze from the direction of travel and creates a dangerous or potentially dangerous situation, including checking the part of the road not visible through the rear view mirrors;
45.4. KK - does not look around and observe the surroundings (neither through the mirrors nor over the shoulder) near and behind the TP while reversing.
46. Use of warning signals:
KK - does not show or does not show the turn signal properly and a dangerous situation is created due to misleading the other road user.
47. Decision making:
47.1. KK - enters and stops a TP at a pedestrian crossing behind which there is an obstacle (congestion or similar), or at an intersection of carriageways where or behind which there is an obstacle and obstructs the traffic of other TPs, or at a railway crossing;
47.2. KK - when the yellow or red traffic light is on, does not leave the intersection, when he entered it with the intention of turning left. This KK is assessed when the examinee does not assess the change in the traffic situation - does not use a safe space in the traffic flow to leave the intersection of carriageways or does it improperly (too slowly, unsafe trajectory, etc.);
47.3. KK - does not give way (does not pass) to TP or other road users, drives through a pedestrian crossing or past a school bus without making sure that there are no pedestrians to pass. This KK is not evaluated if the examinee is driving, because he cannot give way due to the actions of other road users.
48. Choosing a safe distance:
48.1. KK - keeps within one second (two seconds, if the road surface is wet, icy, paved with stones, etc.) or less to the TP driving in front;
48.2. KK - keeps an unsafe lateral distance to standing vehicles, vehicles traveling opposite or in the same direction, pedestrians walking on the roadway, obstacles on the edge of the carriageway and creates a potentially dangerous situation (for example, when driving at a speed of more than 25 km/h, keeps a lateral distance of less than 0.5 m to a stationary vehicle);
48.3. KK - when driving at a speed not exceeding 50 km/h, keep a lateral distance of less than 1 m or, when driving at a speed of more than 50 km/h, keep a lateral distance of less than 1.5 m to a cyclist, driver of an electric micro-mobility vehicle.

This KK is also assessed when the examinee does not reach the required speed, i.e. i.e. drives more than 15 km/h at a speed lower than the set speed, while performing the special driving maneuvers described in Appendix 2 of the description on a motorcycle (moped). This KK is not assessed if the examinee accelerates safely with the flow of traffic or if the too-slow driving lasts less than three seconds;
49.3. KK - increases speed when overtaking and creates a potentially dangerous situation;
49.4. KK - drives too fast, but does not exceed the permitted speed, and creates a potentially dangerous situation, also when driving in reverse;
50. Execution of traffic regulation signals, road signs and road marking requirements:
50.1. KK - does not comply with traffic regulation signal, road sign or road marking requirements. This KK is also evaluated if the TP driven by the examinee goes beyond the line marking the limits of the area designated for the special driving maneuver or, after completing the special driving maneuvers described in paragraphs 3.3 and 3.4 of Appendix 2 of the description, stands on (behind) the lines marking the parking place, if the parking place is marked. This KK is not evaluated when: the wheels of one side of the car (or four-wheeler or combination with a trailer) cross a continuous horizontal marking line separating the traffic lanes of the same direction; it is impossible to comply with the requirements of horizontal marking due to the dimensions and/or dynamic characteristics of the TP being driven; when executing a request to stop, the speed value displayed by the speedometer is 0 km/h; when the examinee is driving a bus or trolleybus, in order to perform the maneuver specified by the examiner, it is impossible to comply with the requirements of road signs and horizontal markings denoting traffic lanes intended for route transport;
50.2. KK - stops the TP beyond the "Stop" line or the edge of the roadway intersection at such a distance that it creates a potentially dangerous situation. This KK is also evaluated if the examinee passes the line (guidelines) marking the stopping place while performing the maneuver of acceleration and precise stopping at the specified place.
51. Consistency (categories BE, C1E, CE, D1E and DE):
51.1. KK - unable to unhook or hitch a trailer;
51.2. KK - misses part of the actions, thus creating a potentially dangerous situation:

53.1. KK - removes both hands from the steering wheel when the motorcycle (moped) is moving;
53.2. KK - Places feet on stirrups in a manner other than intended for use of feet on controls.
54. BKK – verbal or physical intervention of the examiner to:
54.1. a traffic accident would be avoided;
54.2. a dangerous situation due to inadequate TP management, which could pose a threat to traffic safety, would be avoided;
54.3. help the examinee in any part of the exam due to his inability to make decisions and/or perform actions appropriate to the situation, i.e. i.e. perform actions for him when it is necessary to ensure safe traffic or because of inadequate time required to complete the examination.
55. BKK - collision: this is a situation when, due to the fault of the examinee, the TP driven by him collides with (runs into) another object or (categories AM, A1, A2, A) obstructs the object with his body. When performing special driving maneuvers on a motorcycle (moped), obstructing a marker or a cone, BKK is assessed only when it is pushed or overturned. This BKK is also assessed after driving one or more wheels on the edge of the pavement (curb).
56. BKK - dangerous situation: the examinee's actions created a dangerous situation, which forced other road users (including pedestrians) to take action to avoid a collision or other danger.

58. The inspection and driving license issuing services department of the Service Management and Development Department of AB "Regitra" performs the control of the provisions of the description.
1. Special driving maneuvers (hereinafter referred to as maneuvers) are performed on a special site (hereinafter referred to as site) and/or on a road. Parking maneuvers on the road must be performed where stopping and standing are permitted. The place and sequence of special driving maneuvers is chosen by the examiner.
2. During the examination in an AM, A1, A2 or A category vehicle (hereinafter - TP), it must be checked whether the examinee is able to:
2.1. operate a motorcycle (moped) with the engine off. To perform this maneuver, cones mark the beginning and end of a lane (length - 22 m, width - 3 m) and a parking place perpendicular to this lane (length - 3 m, width - 2 m), located 10 m from the cone marking the beginning of the lane, on the right side. When performing this maneuver, the examinee must:
2.1.1. push the motorcycle (moped) forward, walking on the left side of the motorcycle, holding the steering wheel with both hands; to stop the motorcycle (moped) using the brakes;
2.1.2. push the motorcycle (moped) backwards into the parking space while holding the steering wheel with at least one hand;
2.1.3. place the motorcycle (moped) on the parking legs or support it with a side support, then remove it from them;
2.1.4. push the motorcycle (moped) out of the parking place and, after turning to the right, push it forward another 10 m;
2.2. drive straight along a narrow lane at a constant speed next to the examiner walking slowly (about 1 m/s). For this maneuver, cones mark the beginning and end of the lane (length - 20 m, width - 1.5 m). The examinee starts slightly before, rather than at, the cones marking the beginning of the lane, so as to reach the appropriate speed at the beginning of the lane;
2.3. ride in a figure eight. For this maneuver, cones are used to mark the corners of the rectangle (6 x 12 m) in which the examinee is riding in a figure-of-eight and the centers of the circles of the figure-of-eight, with a distance of 4 m between them. Examinee:
2.3.1. starts the maneuver from the short side of the rectangle;
2.3.2. runs along the rectangle and turns left;
2.3.3. must drive in a figure eight at equal speed in curved sections of the trajectory while tilting the motorcycle (moped) towards the center of the turn;
2.3.4. must look in the right direction so that the turning radius is as small as possible and the motorcycle (moped) does not go outside the rectangle marked with cones. A slight exit outside the rectangle is allowed, if the examinee is able to drive smoothly and basically correctly;
2.4. ride a slalom without stopping, slowly and quickly (at a speed of at least 30 km/h), between six cones arranged in a straight line. The distance between adjacent cones is 3 m when riding slowly and 8 m when riding quickly. At the start of the manoeuvre, the motorcycle (moped) must be on the line formed by the cones before the first cone. The examinee:
2.4.1. when driving the snake slowly, you can perform the maneuver by moving 3-5 m before the first cone, and when driving fast - a little further, to reach a speed of at least 30 km/h at the beginning of the snake;
2.4.2. must snake between cones, properly control the accelerator, rear wheel brake and clutch;
2.4.3. after the last cone, return to the starting line and drive straight for a few meters;
2.5. go around the obstacle at a speed of at least 50 km/h (30 km/h on a moped). For this maneuver, cones mark the beginning and end of the lane (length - 33 m, width - 1 m). The examinee does not start driving from the cones that mark the beginning of the lane, but a little further to reach the appropriate speed at the beginning of the lane. When performing this maneuver, the examinee must:
2.5.1. enter between the cones marking the beginning of the lane at a speed of at least 50 km/h (on a moped – 30 km/h);
2.5.2. without using the brakes to go around a cone located fifteen meters forward of the cone marking the beginning of the lane and two meters to the left of the left edge of the lane;
2.5.3. after driving no more than eighteen meters, return to the starting line in the marked lane;
2.6. accelerate at a speed of 30-40 km/h and stop exactly at the specified place. For this maneuver, cones mark the beginning and end of the lane (length - 17 m, width - 1.5 m). The examinee does not start driving from the cones that mark the beginning of the lane, but a little further to reach the appropriate speed at the beginning of the lane. When performing this maneuver, the examinee must:
2.6.1. enter between the cones marking the beginning of the lane at a speed of at least 30 km/h;
2.6.2. start braking only after passing the cones marking the beginning of the lane;
2.6.3. release the accelerator and brake using the braking force of both brakes;
2.6.4. brake evenly, without significant changes in braking force, do not block the wheels;
2.6.5. stop after reaching the cones marking the end of the lane;
2.6.6. engage first gear before stopping;
2.7. drive a tight left or right turn. To perform this maneuver, a traffic lane (width - 3 m) and a parking space perpendicular to it (length - 3 m, width - 2 m) are marked with cones. Examinee:
2.7.1. before starting the maneuver, you must park the motorcycle (moped) in the parking place with the front wheel at the edge of the traffic lane (roadway);
2.7.2. after the examiner indicates which way (left or right) to drive, you can choose which foot to rest on the ground before starting to drive. The examiner stands in front of the examinee outside the marked traffic lane;
2.7.3. leave the parking space by turning into the traffic lane across its width;
2.7.4. drive a few meters straight ahead;
2.8. brake while driving at a speed of at least 50 km/h (on a moped - 30 km/h) (as instructed by the examiner). For this maneuver, cones mark the beginning of the lane (width - 1.5 m). The examinee starts driving not from the cones marking the beginning of the lane, but a little further, so that he reaches a speed of at least 50 km/h (30 km/h on a moped) at the beginning of the lane. When performing this maneuver, the examinee must:
2.8.1. enter between the cones marking the beginning of the lane at a speed of at least 50 km/h;
2.8.2. start braking only when instructed by the examiner;
2.8.3. release the accelerator and apply the braking force of both brakes to bring the vehicle to a safe stop after traveling as little distance as possible.
3. During the B1 or B category TP examination, it must be checked whether the examinee is able to:
3.1. accelerate at a speed of 30-40 km/h and stop exactly at the specified place. When performing this maneuver, the examinee must brake evenly, without significant changes in braking force;
3.2. after engaging the reverse gear no more than twice, park the TP in a marked or unmarked, at least 6 meters long (when the length is limited), parking space on the right parallel to the edge of the carriageway (sidewalk) so that the examinee is driving the TP:
3.2.1. while performing the maneuver in reverse, drive no further than 3 m from the TP standing in front (the distance between the front of the TP being driven by the examinee and the rear of the TP standing in front);
3.2.2. at the end of the maneuver, stand no closer than 1 m, but no further than 2 m from the TP standing in front (the distance between the front of the TP being driven by the examinee and the rear of the TP standing in front); parallel to the edge of the sidewalk and between the lines marking the parking space, if the parking space is marked; the wheels closer to the sidewalk would be no further than 40 cm from the edge of the sidewalk;
3.3. park the TP in a marked or unmarked parking space diagonally or perpendicularly to the edge of the roadway (sidewalk) so that, after the maneuver, the TP driven by the examinee stands no closer than 50 cm, but no further than 1 m away from the adjacent TP, parallel to the adjacent TP or parallel and between the lines marking the parking space, no further than 40 cm from the line marking the end of the parking space, if the parking space is marked;
3.4. after parking the TP in the parking place, leave it in the opposite direction to the one you entered and engage the reverse gear no more than twice;
3.5. stop and start driving uphill again so that the TP does not roll backwards;
3.6. reverse for a distance of two car lengths while turning right within the traffic lane or, where traffic lanes are not marked, no farther than 1 m from the edge of the carriageway. After the turn, reverse for up to two car lengths if there are no obstacles (parked cars, etc.). After reversing, return to the road by turning towards the same side from which the examinee approached the place where the manoeuvre was performed. When performing this manoeuvre on the road, entrances to roadside premises or intersections where the likelihood of encountering another TP is as low as possible may be used.
4. The maneuver described in paragraph 3.3 is performed in reverse, and the maneuver described in paragraph 3.4 is performed while driving forward or in reverse.
5. When examining a BE, C1, C1E, C, CE, D1, D1E, D or DE category TP, it must be checked whether the examinee is able to enter the loading platform (ramp) simulating (or maneuver limit) gate in reverse after turning on the reverse gear no more than twice and stop no further than 1 m away from the end of the ramp simulating (marking the maneuver limit) without touching them.
6. Before starting the maneuver described in point 5, the TP (compound) must be placed 4 TP (compound) lengths forward from the end of the gate imitating the loading platform (ramp) (marking the maneuver limit) and 3 TP (compound) width to the left of the gate and parallel to it.
7. The width of the gate imitating the loading platform (ramp) (or marking the maneuver limit) is equal to 1.5 TP (compound) width, and the length depends on the TP (compound) length and can be 1 m longer than the TP (compound), equal to the TP (compound) length, 1-2 m shorter than the TP (compound) length. The starting point of the gate is selected by the examiner before starting the maneuver described in point 5.
8. When examining a C1, C, D1, D or T category TP, it must be checked whether the examinee is able to drive and stop exactly in the specified place.

3. The examination is conducted in the divisions of the joint-stock company "Regitra" (hereinafter - AB "Regitra") - driver examination centers, which must meet the requirements set out in Appendix 1 of the description.
4. The exams consist of two parts: a test of theoretical knowledge (hereinafter referred to as the theory exam) and a test of practical TP management skills and abilities (hereinafter referred to as a practice exam). The theoretical knowledge, practical TP management skills and abilities of the examinees are assessed by authorized employees of AB "Regitra" (hereinafter - examiners). When the examinee does not know how to speak or does not understand the official language, or cannot express his thoughts intelligibly due to a sensory or speech disorder, an interpreter who is able to translate into a language that the examinee understands is present during the exam. The examinee informs in advance that he needs an interpreter. The translator is invited by AB "Regitra" in coordination with the examinee. The examinee pays the translator, except when he is an employee of AB "Regitra", according to the invoice submitted by him.
5. Exams can be taken only by an examinee who usually lives in the Republic of Lithuania for at least 185 days in each calendar year due to personal and work ties or, if the person has no work ties, only due to personal ties that closely connect the person to the place where he lives. An examinee whose work and personal relationships are in different places and who, as a result, lives alternately in different places located in two or more countries, may take exams only if the place of his personal relationships is in the Republic of Lithuania and the person returns here regularly (this condition does not apply when the examinee lives in a foreign country to complete a task of a defined duration). Exams can also be taken by a student (foreigner) who has been studying in the Republic of Lithuania for at least 6 months.
The examinee can take the practical exam after reaching the age specified in Article 23 of the SEAKĮ, taking into account the TP category, as well as after the expiration of the period of revocation of the TP driving license or restriction on the acquisition of the TP driving license.
6. The health condition and psychophysiological abilities of the examinees must be checked in accordance with the procedure established by the Ministry of Health or its authorized institution, and they must be fit to drive a TP of the relevant category. The examinees, with the exception of those who want to regain the right to drive a TP, must have completed a training course in accordance with the procedure for the initial training of drivers established by the Ministry of Transport or its authorized institution.

1.4.1.4. TP preparation: locking the trailer chassis, coupling devices, compressed air lines, connectors, electrical connections, air release valves, parking brake, activation of light devices, push-in supports.
2. During the practical exam, it must be checked how the examinee is able to perform special driving maneuvers. The following maneuvers are performed on a special site and/or road adapted for this purpose:
2.1. TP of categories A1 and A:
2.1.1. operate a motorcycle with the engine turned off: place it on the parking legs, support it with a side support, push it, turn it around;
2.1.2. riding a motorcycle in a narrow lane (rail, board);
2.1.3. figure eight driving;
2.1.4. snake ride;
2.1.5. bypassing an obstacle while driving on the road at a speed of at least 50 km/h;
2.1.6. acceleration (at a speed of 30-40 km/h) and exact stopping at the specified place (before the "Stop" line);
2.1.7. a small radius turn to the left or right;
2.1.8. braking while driving on the road at a speed of at least 50 km/h and emergency braking when instructed by the examiner;
2.2. B1 and B category TP:
2.2.1. acceleration (at a speed of 30-40 km/h) and exact stopping at the specified place (before the "Stop" line);
2.2.2. turning in a lane of limited width using reverse;
2.2.3. Parking a vehicle in a temporary parking place in reverse parallel, perpendicular or diagonally to the edge of the carriageway, leaving the necessary space between parked vehicles (guide rails), and exiting it;
2.2.4. Parking the TP in a temporary parking place on an uphill or downhill slope and exiting it;
2.2.5. stopping and starting from a place on a slope;
2.2.6. driving in reverse with a right or left turn without leaving the traffic lane;
2.3. C1, C, D1, D and T categories TP:
2.3.1. parking on the side at the platform/platform when driving backwards (except T-category TP);
2.3.2. reverse approach to the ramp (except T-category TP);
2.3.3. exact stop at the specified place (before the "Stop" line);
2.3.4. driving forwards and backwards with a turn to the right or to the left without leaving the traffic lane (T category TP - only forward);
2.4. BE, C1E, CE, D1E and DE categories TP:
2.4.1. driving in reverse without leaving the traffic lane;
2.4.2. reverse access to the ramp;
2.4.3. coupling and uncoupling or uncoupling and coupling the trailer.
3. The examiner must monitor whether the examinee uses the TP control devices properly, is able to adapt to the traffic flow, road and weather conditions, sufficiently evaluates other road users and understands various traffic situations, adheres to the Road Traffic Rules approved by the Government of the Republic of Lithuania in 2002. December 11 by resolution no. 1950 (Zin., 2003, No. 7-263; 2008, no. 88-3530, 2021, no. 19691) requirements:
3.1. driving uphill and downhill: drives safely, engages the correct gear, makes sure that the TP does not start moving by itself after stopping;
3.2. trajectory selection: correctly chooses the traffic lane, trajectory and location in the traffic lane, follows the trajectory, looks around;
3.3. speed: chooses the appropriate speed for the specific traffic situation, does not exceed the permitted speed, keeps a safe distance;
3.4. maneuvering in traffic lanes, overtaking: correctly assesses the traffic situation, obstacles, visibility in the overtaking section, complies with marking requirements, shows signals on time, performs the maneuver correctly, accelerates correctly, engages gears, keeps the lateral distance, returns to his lane;
3.5. other behavior: behaves properly with the most vulnerable road users: children, pedestrians, cyclists and the disabled, is able to predict possible danger in advance, does not obstruct or endanger other road users, gives way to special TP;
3.6. driving through intersections: correctly assesses the traffic situation, correctly approaches, gives way to traffic participants with priority, stops when required by a traffic light or regulator signal; evaluates the actions of pedestrians and cyclists, reviews the situation at the intersection, exits the intersection properly;
3.7. turns: shows signals in time, assesses the situation when changing lanes, changes lanes correctly, chooses a lane when turning.
