CDifficulty 3/5

A lorry travels at night, between sunset and sunrise, on an insufficiently lit road through a built-up area. Which lights must it use?

Correct answer

Position lights and dipped headlights.

Position lights and dipped headlights. In a built-up area use dipped headlights rather than main beam, even when road lighting is insufficient. Position lights alone are insufficient for driving at night in this situation. Poor lighting does not make a through-road outside a built-up area or authorise main beam. The question explicitly states the night-time period covered by the obligation.
