Correct answer
No, they are optional on this passenger car.
No, fitting them is optional. Article 17.1 of the General Vehicle Regulations allows these lights on the motor vehicles within its scope that are no longer than 6 metres and no wider than 2 metres; vehicles failing either condition may not have them. They differ from the passenger car’s compulsory position lights. Optional installation does not remove lighting duties when immobilised in circumstances covered by the Traffic Regulations.
