AMDifficulty 3/5

A car drives at night on a sufficiently lit road, without fog or other conditions requiring special lighting. May it use position lights alone?

Correct answer

No, I must also turn on the dipped headlights.

No. Dipped headlights must also be on under article 101.1. Position lights are required when driving at night even on sufficiently lit roads, not only poorly lit ones. They are not always accompanied exclusively by dipped beam: other cases allow or require different combinations, including main beam or fog lamps where appropriate. This question specifies ordinary night driving on a sufficiently lit road.
