Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Only when the vehicle stops, provided that they are not directed at another vehicle or along the length of the road.
A floodlight is a very powerful lamp that can dazzle other drivers and cause a crash. That is why it may be used only when the vehicle has stopped, and only if it is not aimed at another vehicle or along the road. The rule is not a special privilege for security patrols or fire engines, and security needs during light time do not allow driving with it on.
