    Para los conductores noveles, la tasa máxima de alcoholemia con la que tienen permitido conducir, durante los dos primeros años, es...

    For novice drivers, the maximum alcohol level allowed for driving during the first two years is...

    • A0,3 miligramos por litro de aire espirado.0.3 milligrams per litre of exhaled air.
    • B0,15 miligramos por litro de aire espirado.0.15 milligrams per litre of exhaled air.
    • C0,25 miligramos por litro de aire espirado.0.25 milligrams per litre of exhaled air.
    Explanation

    Under Article 20 of the General Traffic Regulations, during the two years after obtaining the licence the maximum level is 0.15 mg/l of exhaled air or 0.3 g/l of blood. Watch out for the trap: 0.3 is the blood figure, not the breath figure.

56. Nº 56

    ¿Cuál es la tasa de alcoholemia en menores?

    What is the alcohol limit for minors?

    • ALa misma que para los demás conductores.The same as for other drivers.

    ¿Qué efectos tiene la fatiga en los conductores?

    What effects does fatigue have on drivers?

    • AAumenta el campo visual.It widens the field of vision.
    • BLa visión puede volverse borrosa.Vision may become blurred.
    • CAumenta la sensibilidad auditiva.It increases sensitivity to sound.
    Explanation

    Fatigue harms the driver's physical and mental abilities and causes changes in vision, such as vision becoming blurred. This relates to the rules that stress the importance of being in a suitable physical and mental state to drive, as mentioned in the regulations on the role of fatigue and drowsiness in road accidents. The option saying that vision may become blurred is the correct answer because it shows a direct effect of fatigue on the driver's perception, which is crucial for safe driving.

58. Nº 58

    On a long journey, when should you rest?

    • ACada 2 horas aproximadamente.About every 2 hours.
    • BCuando encuentre un área de descanso.When you find a rest area.
    • CCada 5 horas aproximadamente.About every 5 hours.
    Explanation

    The most important rules to avoid an accident caused by sleepiness or fatigue are: if we feel tired or sleepy while driving, the best thing is to stop and rest in a suitable place and sleep for about 20 or 30 minutes; rest for 20 to 30 minutes every 2 hours or every 200 kilometres at most; always watch for the signs and symptoms of sleepiness or fatigue.

    Explanation

    A microsleep is a short episode of drowsiness during which a person, such as a driver, can fall asleep involuntarily for a few seconds. During this time the person may not be aware that they are asleep, which can be a significant risk, especially during tasks that require attention, such as driving. It is a dangerous phenomenon because it can increase the risk of accidents.

    • CReduce la tasa a la mitad.cuts your alcohol level by half.
    Explanation

    Coffee does not reduce the alcohol level; at most it gives a misleading feeling of alertness, but the impairment remains.

    • AEn las carreteras convencionales.On conventional roads.
    • BEn las vías urbanas.On urban roads.
    • CEn autopistas o autovías.On motorways (autopistas) or dual carriageways (autovías).
    Explanation

    On motorways (autopistas) and dual carriageways (autovías), the driver has less work to do, so their level of attention drops and distractions are more likely.

    Con sueño...

    When you are sleepy...

    • ALos movimientos son más rápidos y automatizados.your movements are faster and more automatic.
    • BLa visión se vuelve borrosa y es más difícil enfocar la vista.your vision becomes blurred and it is harder to focus your eyes.
    • CDisminuye el tiempo de reacción.your reaction time is shorter.
    Explanation

    Sleepiness affects the driver's movements: they become slower and less precise and are carried out automatically. Vision becomes blurred, so it is harder to focus the eyes, and reaction time increases.

65. Nº 65

    ¿Pueden ocurrir durante el día accidentes de tráfico causados principalmente por el sueño?

    Can road accidents caused mainly by sleepiness happen during the day?

    • ASí, especialmente entre las 14:00 y las 16:00.Yes, especially between 14:00 and 16:00.
    • BSí, pero solo afectan a los conductores profesionales.Yes, but they only affect professional drivers.
    • CNo, ocurren principalmente por la noche.No, they mainly happen at night.
    Explanation

    Drowsiness does not only appear at night: after lunch, especially between 14:00 and 16:00, the body goes through a natural drop in alertness and the risk of falling asleep at the wheel increases. It affects any driver; if you feel sleepy, the safe thing is to stop and rest.

66. Nº 66

    One of the effects of anti-anxiety medicines (anxiolytics) is...

    • Ala aparición de periodos de somnolencia.periods of sleepiness.
    • Bel aumento de la agudeza visual.an increase in visual acuity.
    • Cla disminución de la sensibilidad al deslumbramiento.a reduced sensitivity to glare.
    Explanation

    Anti-anxiety medicines make you more sensitive to the effects of sleepiness, so driving at night, on monotonous roads and for several hours will be very dangerous. Visual acuity decreases and sensitivity to glare increases.

67. Nº 67

    ¿Puede suponer algún peligro el disponer de un sistema de navegación GPS en nuestro vehículo?

    Can having a GPS navigation system in our vehicle be dangerous in any way?

    • ANo, solamente aporta una ayuda al conductor.No, it only helps the driver.
    • BSí, pude provocar distracciones al conductor.Yes, it can distract the driver.
    • CEstá prohibido llevar conectado el sistema GPS mientras circulamos.It is prohibited to have the GPS system switched on while we are driving.
    Explanation

    A GPS navigation system is a great help for the driver, but if we do not use it properly it will be a cause of distraction and can lead to accidents because of a lack of attention to the traffic.

68. Nº 68

    ¿Cómo debe colocarse el navegador GPS portátil en el vehículo?

    Where should a portable GPS navigation device be placed in the vehicle?

    • AA una distancia de 10 a 25 centímetros.At a distance of 10 to 25 centimetres.
    • BEn un lugar donde no obstruya la visibilidad y nunca cerca de un airbag.Where it does not block visibility, and never near an airbag.
    • CDelante del volante.In front of the steering wheel.
    Explanation

    The navigation device must be placed where it does not reduce the driver's field of vision or freedom of movement, as required by Article 18.1 of the General Traffic Regulations. Nor should it be in an airbag's deployment area, because in a crash it would be thrown at the occupants.

69. Nº 69

    Negarse a hacerse la prueba de alcoholemia...

    Refusing to take an alcohol test...

    • Aes un delito penado por el Código Penal.is a crime punishable under the Criminal Code.

    Can driving on a road with a poor surface cause tiredness?

    • ASí, porque la conducción es más incómoda y requiere más esfuerzo.Yes, because driving is less comfortable and takes more effort.
    • BNo, porque el conductor se mantiene más alerta.No, because the driver stays more alert.
    • CSolo si el conductor es novato o tiene poca experiencia.Only if the driver is a beginner or has little experience.
    Explanation

    A poor road surface makes you watch out more for potholes and bumps, transmits more vibration and requires more steering corrections. This extra physical and mental effort makes fatigue set in sooner, whether the driver has a lot of experience or little.

71. Nº 71

    

    Existe un mayor riesgo de somnolencia en vías con...

    There is a higher risk of sleepiness on roads with...

    • Amuchas curvas.a lot of bends.
    • Bmucho tráfico.a lot of traffic.
    • Ctrazado monótono.a monotonous layout.
    Explanation

    Monotonous layouts (long straight stretches, little visual stimulation, like a motorway) lower your level of alertness and make sleepiness more likely; bends or heavy traffic force you to stay attentive.

72. Nº 72

    La distracción al volante…

    Distraction at the wheel...

    • Ano causan accidentes.does not cause accidents.
    • Bcausan una gran cantidad de accidentes.causes a large number of accidents.
    • Ccausan muy pocos accidentes.causes very few accidents.
    Explanation

    Distractions such as using a mobile phone, operating the sat nav or eating at the wheel are behind a large number of road accidents. Taking your eyes off the road for a few seconds means travelling many metres without control of the vehicle.

73. Nº 73

    El navegador GPS...

    The GPS navigator...

    • Ase debe colocar cerca del air-bag.must be placed near the airbag.
    • Bsus indicaciones siempre prevalecen a la opinión del conductor.its instructions always prevail over the driver's opinion.

    • CMantener una velocidad adecuada durante mucho tiempo, ya que requiere mucha concentración.Keeping a suitable speed for a long time, because it needs a lot of concentration.
    Explanation

    Fatigue, also called tiredness, usually appears after driving for long periods without taking proper breaks, or when the breaks are not long enough. The most important rules to avoid an accident caused by sleepiness or fatigue are: if we feel tired or sleepy while driving, the best thing is to stop and rest in a suitable place and sleep for about 20 or 30 minutes; rest for 20 to 30 minutes every 2 hours or every 200 kilometres at most; always watch for the signs and symptoms of sleepiness or fatigue.

81. Nº 81

    • ANo.No.
    • BSí.Yes.
    • CSólo si además tiene problemas de sueño.Only if you also have sleep problems.
    Explanation

    Stress can seriously impair our ability to drive safely and can have negative effects on driving, such as fatigue, which can easily appear at the wheel. It increases aggression, hostility and competitiveness, and behaviour can become more reckless.

83. Nº 83

    Si tienes una enfermedad, ¿debes preguntarle al médico qué precauciones tomar para conducir?

    If you have an illness, should you ask your doctor what precautions to take when driving?

    • ANo.No.
    • BSí.Yes.
    • CSólo cuando la enfermedad es crónica.Only when the illness is chronic.
    Explanation

    Yes, it is right to ask your doctor about the precautions to take for driving if you have an illness. Spain's traffic rules, in particular what the regulations say about diseases of the central nervous system and other medical conditions that can affect driving, state that drivers must not have illnesses that reduce motor, cognitive or coordination functions. That is why a medical assessment is essential to ensure safety at the wheel.

84. Nº 84

    • BSólo mientras el semáforo está en rojo.Only while the traffic light is red.
    • CSólo cuando se utilice un dispositivo manos libres.Only when you use a hands-free device.
    Explanation

    While driving, using mobile phones and any other means or system of communication is prohibited, except when the call takes place without using your hands and without using a headset, earphones or similar devices. Being stopped at traffic lights does not mean we are not driving, because we are still part of the traffic flow and the prohibition still applies. We may only use the mobile phone with a hands-free device.

86. Nº 86

    

    El efecto túnel producido por la velocidad hace que el conductor...

    The tunnel effect caused by speed means that the driver...

    • Asea más sensible a los deslumbramientos.is more sensitive to glare.
    • Bsólo sea capaz de percibir con nitidez la parte lateral de la vía.can only see the sides of the road clearly.
    • Csólo sea capaz de percibir con nitidez el centro de la vía.can only see the centre of the road clearly.
    Explanation

    As we increase speed, our useful field of vision gets narrower; this is known as the tunnel effect. The driver can only see the centre of the road clearly, and the images at the sides pass so quickly that they are not seen properly. This also happens after drinking alcohol.

87. Nº 87

    

    La fatiga del conductor además de otros síntomas...

    Driver fatigue, as well as other symptoms...

    • AReduce la capacidad de reacción.reduces the ability to react.
    • BAumenta la capacidad de reacción.increases the ability to react.
    • CReduce el tiempo de reacción.reduces the reaction time.
    Explanation

    Driver fatigue reduces the ability to react, which means we are less able to react. As a result, reaction time increases, because it takes longer to react, and so does the reaction distance.

88. Nº 88

    Durante los dos primeros años con el permiso de conducir, ¿cuál es el límite máximo de alcohol?

    During the first two years with a driving licence, what is the maximum alcohol limit?

    • A0,10 mg/l en aire espirado = 0,2 g/l en sangre.0.10 mg/l in exhaled air = 0.2 g/l in blood.
    • B0,15 mg/l en aire espirado = 0,3 g/l en sangre.0.15 mg/l in exhaled air = 0.3 g/l in blood.
    • C0,25 mg/l en aire espirado = 0,5 g/l en sangre.0.25 mg/l in exhaled air = 0.5 g/l in blood.
    Explanation

    Under Article 20 of the General Traffic Regulations, for the two years after getting your licence you may not exceed 0.15 mg of alcohol per litre of exhaled air, which is equal to 0.3 g per litre of blood. The general limit is 0.25 mg/l in air and 0.5 g/l in blood.

89. Nº 89

    Entre los factores que influyen en la conducción de una motocicleta están...

    The factors that affect riding a motorcycle include...

    • AExclusivamente el estado del conductor.only the condition of the rider.
    • BEl estado del conductor, del vehículo y de la vía.the condition of the rider, the vehicle and the road.
    • CExclusivamente el estado de la vía.only the condition of the road.
    Explanation

    The condition of the rider, the vehicle and the road all affect riding a motorcycle, because each of them can affect the rider's safety and performance. The rider's condition, such as their level of fatigue, their mood and their alcohol level, can affect their ability to react and make the right decisions. The condition of the vehicle, such as how the tyres, brakes and steering work, can affect the rider's ability to control it. And the condition of the road, such as the weather conditions and how well the rider adapts to the road, can affect grip and visibility. So all these factors are important for riding a motorcycle safely.

90. Nº 90

    

    Bajo los efectos de la depresión...

    Under the effects of depression...

    • ADisminuyen las distracciones.distractions decrease.
    • BSe pierde información del entorno.information about the surroundings is missed.
    • CSe tiene más seguridad.you feel more confident.
    Explanation

    Under the effects of depression, information about the surroundings is missed. The driver looks for relevant information less actively, so they may be slow to notice events that are important for safety.

91. Nº 91

    ¿Cuántos puntos se pierden por conducir sujetando con la mano un dispositivo de telefonía móvil?

    How many points do you lose for driving while holding a mobile phone in your hand?

    • A3 puntos.3 points.

92. Nº 92

    ¿Los accidentes causados por el sueño también ocurren durante el día?

    Do accidents caused by sleepiness also happen during the day?

    • ASí.Yes.
    • BNo, solo ocurren por la noche.No, they only happen at night.
    • CSí, pero solo en las primeras horas de la tarde.Yes, but only in the early afternoon.
    Explanation

    Accidents caused by sleepiness can happen at any time of day. Drowsiness is an important risk factor identified in Spain's traffic rules, which point out that other factors that can affect the driver's physical and mental abilities, including fatigue and lack of sleep, matter both during the day and at night. The Traffic and Road Safety Code mentions the need to raise awareness of drowsiness and its impact on road safety, which shows that it can cause accidents at any time, not only at night.

    Explanation
