BDifficulty 2/5

At night, with no fog or other adverse conditions, may a car travel on a sufficiently lit urban road using only its sidelights?

Correct answer

No, dipped-beam headlights are also required.

No. In this situation, sidelights and dipped-beam headlights are required. Street lighting does not remove that obligation. Sidelights show the vehicle’s presence and dimensions but do not replace dipped headlights; daytime running lights do not replace them at night either. This rule concerns the car and conditions described, not every vehicle or lighting situation.
