On a two-wheeled moped in daylight with good visibility, you use an ordinary lane in its normal direction, outside tunnels and underpasses, with no sign requiring lights. Is dipped beam compulsory merely because the vehicle is a moped?

Correct answer

No, although it is advisable to use it.

Not for that reason alone, although using it improves visibility. Article 104 requires daytime dipped beam on motorcycles and on all vehicles using reversible, additional or contraflow lanes. This question excludes those cases. Night-time, tunnels and insufficient visibility trigger the corresponding lighting duties. Respect the manufacturer’s intended lighting operation; a daytime running light does not replace dipped beam when dipped beam is compulsory.
