BDifficulty 2/5

Under Article 17.1 of the General Vehicle Regulations, what are the maximum length and width limits for a car to carry optional parking lights?

Correct answer

Maximum length 6 metres and maximum width 2 metres.

Length no greater than 6 metres and width no greater than 2 metres: both conditions must be met. These are maximum limits, not dimensions the vehicle must reach; a vehicle 3 metres long and 1 metre wide is also within them. Installation is optional and must meet applicable technical requirements; this does not require fitting these lights or permit replacing position lights everywhere.
