Question 1133 in the bank

What is a driver required to do when one of his two headlights malfunctions during “light time”?

  1. Correct answer: He must stop. It is forbidden to continue driving.
  2. He should keep driving. It is permitted to continue driving slowly until the nearest garage.
  3. It is forbidden to continue driving only if the high beam malfunctions.
  4. It is forbidden to continue driving only if the low beam malfunctions.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: He must stop. It is forbidden to continue driving.

During light time, both headlights must work. With only one, the vehicle lights the road poorly, and oncoming drivers may take it for a motorcycle and misjudge its width. So the driver must stop and not continue until the headlight is fixed. Parking lights or fog lights do not replace a headlight, and there is no permission to drive slowly to a garage.
