Question 1579 in the bank

On a road designated for vehicle traffic, how is it required to stand a motorcycle with a sidecar during “light time” when the road is not lit?

  1. With the head light or parking light on.
  2. With the brake light on.
  3. Correct answer: With the rear light and parking lights on.
  4. With only the parking light on.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: With the rear light and parking lights on.

A motorcycle with a sidecar is wider than a solo motorcycle, so when it stands on an unlit road during light time it must show where it is and how wide it is. That is why the parking lights and the rear light must be on, making it visible from both front and rear. A brake light only works while braking, and a single light does not mark the vehicle from every direction.
