USO CORRETTO DELLA STRADA E COMPORTAMENTI NECESSARI PER NON COSTITUIRE PERICOLO O INTRALCIO PER LA CIRCOLAZIONE

It is necessary to drive in a manner appropriate to the characteristics of the vehicle, the road, and the traffic, observing not only the traffic regulations but also the precautions dictated by common sense, combined with a strong sense of civic duty. It is not true that it is necessary to give way to all vehicles at junctions or to always proceed at a constant speed. The correct use of the road entails that: vehicles proceed at a speed appropriate to the road and traffic conditions, respecting the speed limits prescribed by law the rules of conduct and those dictated by common prudence are observed the junction is cleared promptly when the steady amber light appears on the traffic signal and it is not possible to bring the vehicle to a safe stop before the stop line priority is given to pedestrians crossing at pedestrian crossings dipped-beam headlights are used in built-up areas during the night rearview mirrors are checked before activating the direction indicator to change lanes Even those driving high-performance vehicles are subject to the rules that apply to all drivers. As it constitutes a danger or an obstruction to traffic, it is forbidden to: keep to the left edge of the carriageway to turn into a road on the right park on tram tracks make a change of direction without signalling the manoeuvre sufficiently in advance engage in speed racing drive at an excessively low speed without justified reason It is not true that it is forbidden to momentarily stop a vehicle along the right edge of a one-way carriageway. It is not true that a driver may fit dual-tone horns to be heard more easily, using them only outside built-up areas, or that the horn must be used in built-up areas whenever approaching a cycle crossing.
