While driving during “lighting up time” in a vehicle with an overall width of 220 cm, is it obligatory to turn-on the “Extremity“ side lights?
- Correct answer: Yes.
- No, the side lights are to be used for warning when the vehicle malfunctions and stands on the road.
- Yes, but only from November 1st until March 31st of the following year
- No, the side lights should only be turned-on while the vehicle is standing for any reason.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Yes.
On a wide vehicle like one 220 cm across, the extremity side lights must be on throughout lighting-up time, while driving and not only when standing. They show other drivers the vehicle's full width, so they can judge the space when overtaking or passing it. The duty applies all year round, not just in the winter months.
