Reverse lights:
- Should not be installed in any vehicle other than a private passenger car.
- Correct answer: Are only turned on when the driver shifts into reverse gear, and only for as long as the reverse gear is activated.
- Are turned on by a separate switch, and should be accompanied by a warning buzz.
- Are used during “light time” only.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Are only turned on when the driver shifts into reverse gear, and only for as long as the reverse gear is activated.
The reverse light turns on only when reverse gear is engaged, and only for as long as the gear stays engaged. It signals to drivers and pedestrians that the vehicle is reversing or about to reverse, and lights the road behind it. So it cannot be operated by a separate switch, and it turns off when you take the vehicle out of reverse.
