General Provisions, Driver Duties, and Traffic Safety Fundamentals
The legal frame
Belarusian traffic law is built on the Law on Road Traffic and the Traffic Rules (ПДД). The core duty of every driver is to know and comply with the Rules, to hold a valid licence of the correct category, to carry registration documents and a compulsory insurance certificate, and to present them on demand to a GAI officer. A driver must be fit: no alcohol above the permitted threshold, no narcotics or impairing medication, and no driving while ill or exhausted to the point of losing control.
Duties that questions target
Memorise the duty list: obey signals of traffic controllers even when they contradict signs or markings; give way to vehicles with special colour schemes and blue/red beacons plus siren; yield to pedestrians on crossings and to blind pedestrians with a white cane everywhere. Drivers involved in an accident must stop, switch on hazard lights, display the warning triangle, avoid moving the vehicle unless required, and report to GAI. Providing first aid and calling an ambulance is a legal duty, not a courtesy.
Traps
Questions blur "must" and "should". They also test whether a driver may hand over control to an unlicensed person (no), whether documents may be carried electronically (only where the law permits), and whether a controller's signal outranks a green light (it does). Another classic trap: the driver must give way to a vehicle with a blue beacon and siren, but not to one with only a beacon.
Rule of thumb
When in doubt, the hierarchy is: controller signal > traffic light > sign > marking > general rule. Use it to eliminate wrong answers instantly.
