At night on a well-lit urban road, without conditions requiring additional lighting, which lights must a motorcycle have on?

Correct answer

Position lights and dipped headlights.

Position lights and dipped headlights under Article 101.1. Position lights alone are insufficient, and absence of glare does not authorise substituting main beam here. Motorcycles must also use dipped headlights by day on any road. Night-time rules outside built-up areas depend on lighting, speed and glare, so dipped headlights are not presented as the sole option on every road.
