BDifficulty 2/5

An extra temporary lane has been created on a two-way carriageway using both shoulders. A car travels at 70 km/h in the correct position, but with its dipped headlights off. With no lower specific limit, is it driving correctly?

Correct answer

No, because it does not have at least its dipped headlights switched on.

No. Article 42 requires at least dipped headlights by day and night for vehicles using the shoulders and extra lane. The general range is 60–80 km/h, or lower established or posted limits, subject to circumstances requiring reduced speed. Using a shoulder opened as a lane is not itself improper driving.
