Correct answer
No, only optionally.
Buses under 6 metres in length are not required to fit side marker lights, although they may be fitted optionally. These lights are required on longer vehicles to improve their visibility in low-light conditions. The option "Yes, at least two amber lights" is incorrect, as this is only mandatory on buses over 6 metres long. The option "Yes, at least four amber lights" is also incorrect, because the number of lights varies according to the length of the vehicle, and in this case they are not mandatory. Side lights help other drivers identify the size of the bus, but on shorter vehicles fitting them is optional.
