BDifficulty 2/5

A car is parked parallel to the road at night on the carriageway or shoulder of a poorly lit through-road in a built-up area. What lighting must remain on?

Correct answer

Position lights, or a permitted alternative for parallel parking.

Position lights. When parked parallel in this situation, they may be replaced by parking lights or the two position lights on the side facing the carriageway under Article 105.2. Parking lights are not mere reflectors or other vehicles’ side-marker lights. Being parked does not by itself allow leaving the vehicle unlit.
