In a taxi, what is the function of V-18 taximeter lighting when the meter starts charging?

Correct answer

Illuminate the meter so the fare can be read.

Illuminate the taximeter display so it can be read without dazzling. Annex XI of the General Vehicle Regulations says this lighting is not mandatory when the meter’s figures or letters are self-illuminating. It differs from the exterior multiple-fare indicator and the vacant indicator. Lighting the fare display must not be confused with externally showing the tariff being applied.
