Question 262 in the bank

What is the correct way to stand or leave an over-210-centimeters-wide motor vehicle during “light time”?

  1. The four indicator lights and the portable lamp should be turned on and a warning triangle should be placed.
  2. Correct answer: The vehicle’s side and width projection light should be turned on, unless the road’s lighting is sufficient for observing the vehicle.
  3. The vehicle’s side light should be turned on, and the portable lamp should be flickering.
  4. There is no provision of law for this type of vehicle, but only for over-280-centimeters-wide vehicles.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: The vehicle’s side and width projection light should be turned on, unless the road’s lighting is sufficient for observing the vehicle.

A wide vehicle standing on the road during light time can be a hard-to-see obstacle in the dark. Its side and width lights show other drivers its full width and position. If the road lighting is good enough to see the vehicle clearly, they are not required. Hazard lights and a warning triangle are for breakdowns or emergencies, not for ordinary parking.
