For answer  A 

The failure to respect the traffic rules when passing an official convoy or inserting into such a convoy is considered a contravention and is sanctioned with the contravention fine provided in the third class of sanctions and with the suspension of the exercise of the right to drive for a period of 60 days. For this contravention the measure of retaining the driving licence is ordered for the purpose of suspending the right to drive.

For answer  B 

The failure to respect the meaning of the yellow colour of the traffic light constitutes a contravention and is sanctioned with the fine provided in the first class of sanctions. For this contravention the road traffic legislation DOES NOT provide the suspension of the exercise of the right to drive.

For answer  C 

It is prohibited the possession, installation or use on motor vehicles of systems that disturb the proper functioning of traffic surveillance devices, meaning the ANTI‑radar devices, these being subject to confiscation by the traffic police officer.

We must make the difference between “devices for detecting the presence of radar devices”, meaning radar detectors, which are allowed, and “devices that disturb the functioning of the technical means of traffic surveillance”, meaning the ANTI‑radar devices, which are prohibited.

The use of ANTI‑radar devices is sanctioned with the fine provided in the fourth class of sanctions and the confiscation of these devices by the traffic police officer. For this contravention the road traffic legislation DOES NOT provide the suspension of the exercise of the right to drive.
