A2Difficulty 3/5

When riding your motorcycle in conditions of heavy rain and fog, which lights must you switch on, at least?

Correct answer

The position light and the dipped-beam headlight.

Position lights and dipped headlights. Position lights alone do not illuminate the road, and motorcycles must use dipped headlights even during daylight. Front fog lights may be used if fitted and conditions justify them; fitting them is not mandatory. Rear fog lights are used only in especially adverse conditions, such as dense fog or very heavy rain, and switched off when conditions improve. Main beam is not to be used always or within built-up areas.
