For answer  A 

The driver of the vehicle must respect the meaning of the road signalling, including the meaning of the mandatory signs and markings. Failure to respect the meaning of the mandatory signs and markings is NOT considered to be aggressive behaviour but is sanctioned with the fine provided in the second class of sanctions.

For answers  B  and  C 

It is prohibited the adoption of an aggressive behaviour in driving them on the public roads. The repeated use of the sound and/or light signals of a nature to unjustifiably oblige the driver of the vehicle travelling in front of him to free the traffic lane, as well as driving the moped or motorcycle having in contact with the carriageway only one of the wheels are considered to be aggressive behaviour, being prohibited the performance of these manoeuvres on the public roads.

The adoption of an aggressive behaviour in driving the vehicles on the public roads is sanctioned contraventional, as follows:

• if through the adoption of an aggressive behaviour a traffic accident was produced from which resulted the damaging of a vehicle or other material damages (meaning a road accident without victims), the fine provided in the third class of sanctions and the suspension of the right to drive for a period of 60 days is applied;
• if through the adoption of an aggressive behaviour NO traffic accident was produced, the fine provided in the second class of sanctions and the suspension of the right to drive for a period of 30 days is applied.
