What is the legal definition of “lighting up time”
- The time period of natural lighting conditions, when there is no need to have the vehicle lights turned on
- Correct answer: The night time or any other time of the day in which visibility conditions are poor due to weather conditions.
- The time period in which the vehicle’s lights must be turned on while driving in a freeway
- The night time period, between sunset and sunrise
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: The night time or any other time of the day in which visibility conditions are poor due to weather conditions.
Lighting up time is not only the night. It also covers any other time when visibility is poor, for example because of fog, heavy rain, haze or dust storms. During this time vehicle lights must be on so you can see and be seen. A definition limited to the hours between sunset and sunrise is therefore incomplete.
