Question 256 in the bank

When is a driver of a motor vehicle required to dip the vehicle’s lights?

  1. When driving backwards.
  2. When entering a premises.
  3. While searching for a parking spot.
  4. Correct answer: When the vehicle is standing.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: When the vehicle is standing.

When the vehicle is standing with its lights on, the high beam blinds drivers and pedestrians facing it, so you must dip the lights. The high beam is meant to extend the range of vision when driving on a dark road, and there is no reason to leave it on in a standing vehicle.
