General rules is one of the topics in the Driving maneuvers block of the Spanish DGT theory. Overtaking, changes of direction, stopping, parking, lighting and warnings. Understanding this section well helps you answer the theory-exam questions on this topic with confidence.
In simple terms, this point of the DGT theory establishes that bicycles will also be equipped with reflective elements that, once duly approved, are determined in the General Vehicle Regulations. When the use of lighting is mandatory, cyclists must also wear reflective clothing that allows drivers and other users to distinguish them from a distance of 150 metres, if they are travelling on interurban roads.
Manoeuvres are tested with practical cases; remember the correct order: observe, signal and only then carry out the manoeuvre.
