Armenia Driving Theory Test cheat sheet

Warning signs are triangular with a red border; they warn of hazards ahead (e.g., curves, pedestrian crossings, wild animals).

Priority signs include 'Give Way' (inverted triangle) and 'Stop' (octagon); they determine right-of-way at intersections.

Prohibitory signs are circular with a red border; they impose restrictions such as speed limits, no entry, or no overtaking.

Mandatory signs are circular with a blue background; they indicate required actions (e.g., turn direction, minimum speed, cycle path).

Information signs are rectangular, often blue or green; they provide directions, distances, and facility locations.

A red traffic light means stop before the stop line or intersection; a flashing red light requires stopping and yielding.

A flashing yellow light warns of a hazard or that the signal is not functioning; proceed with caution and follow priority rules.

At a pedestrian crossing, drivers must yield to pedestrians on the crossing or about to enter it; overtaking is prohibited.

A continuous white line along the center means no crossing or overtaking; a broken white line permits crossing if safe.

Double continuous lines mean neither side may cross; a continuous line with a broken line means the broken side may cross if safe.

Yellow zigzag lines near schools or bus stops prohibit stopping or parking.

A stop line is a solid white line across the lane; vehicles must stop before it at a stop sign or red light.

Directional arrows on the road indicate permitted lane movements; drivers must follow the arrow for their lane.

A traffic controller's signals override traffic lights and road signs; a raised arm means stop for all directions.

A whistle blast with arm extended horizontally means stop for traffic approaching from the front; arm raised vertically means stop for all.

A yellow box junction prohibits entering unless the exit is clear, except when turning right and waiting for a gap.

At an uncontrolled intersection, yield to vehicles approaching from the right (right-hand priority rule).

When turning left, yield to oncoming traffic going straight or turning right; when turning right, yield to pedestrians crossing the road you enter.

At a roundabout, yield to traffic already on the roundabout unless signs indicate otherwise.

Overtaking is prohibited at pedestrian crossings, on bridges, in tunnels, at railway crossings, and where visibility is restricted.

Before overtaking, ensure the lane ahead is clear, no one is overtaking you, and you can complete the maneuver without impeding others.

A vehicle being overtaken must not increase speed; it should keep right and allow the overtaking vehicle to pass.

At intersections, do not enter if your exit is blocked, even if you have a green light; doing so can block cross traffic.

When two vehicles approach an obstacle on their side, the one with the obstacle yields to the one without.

In built-up areas (cities, towns, villages), the default speed limit is 60 km/h unless signs indicate otherwise.

Outside built-up areas, the default speed limit is 90 km/h; on motorways, it is 110 km/h unless posted otherwise.

The two-second rule: maintain at least a two-second gap behind the vehicle ahead in good conditions; double it in rain or at night.

In poor visibility (fog, heavy rain, snow), reduce speed and increase following distance; use fog lights only when visibility is seriously reduced.

Speed limits are absolute maximums; drivers must reduce speed according to traffic, road, and weather conditions.

Near schools, pedestrian crossings, and residential areas, drive at a speed that allows you to stop safely if a child steps out.

A safe following distance increases with speed; at 90 km/h, a two-second gap is about 50 meters.

When towing a trailer or driving a heavy vehicle, lower speed limits may apply; check signs and vehicle regulations.

Tires must have a tread depth of at least 1.6 mm across the central three-quarters of the tread and around the entire circumference.

Tire pressure should be checked when tires are cold; incorrect pressure affects handling, fuel consumption, and tire wear.

All lights must be functional: headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, and hazard lights; replace faulty bulbs immediately.

The braking system must be in good working order; check brake fluid level and brake pads regularly.

A valid first-aid kit, fire extinguisher, warning triangle, and reflective vest are mandatory safety equipment in many jurisdictions.

The windshield and windows must be clean and free of obstructions; wipers and washers must work properly.

Seat belts are mandatory for all occupants; children must use appropriate child restraints until they reach the required age or height.

The exhaust system must not emit excessive smoke or noise; a faulty exhaust can increase emissions and violate noise regulations.

At an accident scene, first ensure your own safety: park safely, turn on hazard lights, and put on a reflective vest before exiting.

Place a warning triangle at least 50 meters behind the accident on a straight road, or further if visibility is poor.

Call emergency services immediately; provide location, number of casualties, and types of injuries.

Do not move an injured person unless there is immediate danger (e.g., fire); moving them can worsen spinal injuries.

Check for responsiveness and breathing; if not breathing, start CPR if trained and continue until help arrives.

Control bleeding by applying direct pressure with a clean cloth or bandage; do not remove objects embedded in wounds.

Keep the injured person warm and comfortable; do not give food or drink, as this may complicate medical treatment.

Do not leave the scene until authorities arrive; exchange information with other involved parties if necessary.

Drivers must carry a valid driving license, vehicle registration, proof of insurance, and identification at all times.

Driving without insurance is illegal and can result in fines, license suspension, or vehicle impoundment.

After an accident involving injury or significant damage, you must stop, provide assistance, and report to the police.

Traffic violations carry penalties including fines, points on the license, and possible suspension or revocation.

The legal blood alcohol limit for drivers is typically 0.05% (or lower for novice drivers); driving under the influence is strictly prohibited.

Using a handheld mobile phone while driving is illegal; use hands-free devices only if permitted.

Vehicle registration and insurance must be renewed annually; driving with expired documents is an offense.

In case of a breakdown, move the vehicle off the road if possible, use hazard lights, and place a warning triangle.

Scan the road ahead and check mirrors regularly; anticipate potential hazards such as pedestrians, animals, or vehicles entering the road.

Maintain a safe following distance and avoid distractions (e.g., mobile phones, eating) while driving.

Eco-driving techniques include smooth acceleration, maintaining steady speed, and avoiding sudden braking.

Use cruise control on highways to maintain constant speed and reduce fuel consumption.

Check tire pressure regularly; under-inflated tires increase fuel consumption and wear.

Avoid idling for long periods; turn off the engine if waiting for more than a minute (except in traffic).

Plan routes to avoid congested areas; combining errands reduces fuel use and emissions.

In adverse weather, reduce speed, use appropriate lights, and increase following distance to maintain control.
