BDifficulty 2/5

Does a car 5 m long and 1.90 m wide meet the dimensional conditions for optional parking lights?

Correct answer

Yes, those dimensions meet the applicable limits.

Yes. Its dimensions meet the General Vehicle Regulations’ optional parking-light conditions. Article 17.1 gives maximum length and width of 6 and 2 m; Annex X, note 3, expresses width as less than 2 m. The stated car is below both limits, without raising the boundary case of exactly 2 m. Lights must meet other technical and use conditions; their function is to indicate a parked vehicle, not replace driving lights.
