Question 1296 in the bank

Under which conditions is it advised to turn on the lights during the day?

  1. Correct answer: When the sun is behind the driver.
  2. When the sun is in front of the driver.
  3. When the sun is to the left of the direction of driving.
  4. When the sun is to the right of the direction of driving.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: When the sun is behind the driver.

When the sun is behind you, drivers coming the other way are looking straight into it and are dazzled, so they can hardly see your vehicle. Turning on your lights makes you stand out to them. When the sun is in front of you, you are the one dazzled, and your lights don't help you see. Daytime lights are about being seen by others.
