Question 17 in the bank

What is “night time”?

  1. The period of time in which it is required to turn on the vehicle’s parking lights
  2. A period of heavy fog only
  3. Correct answer: The period of time that starts 15 minutes following sunset and ends 15 minutes before sunrise
  4. The period of time between sunset and the following sunrise.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: The period of time that starts 15 minutes following sunset and ends 15 minutes before sunrise

By the legal definition, night time begins 15 minutes after sunset and ends 15 minutes before sunrise. It does not depend on fog, which can occur in daytime too, and it is not simply the span between sunset and sunrise. The definition matters because during night time drivers must turn on the vehicle's lights.
