Question 263 in the bank

In a vehicle that has an overall width of 210 centimeters or more and that is lawfully equipped with side lamps:

  1. Correct answer: The driver must turn-on the side lamps during “light time”.
  2. The driver must turn-on the side lamps in an inter-urban road only.
  3. The driver doesn’t have to turn-on the side lamps during ‘light time”.
  4. It is allowed to drive at any time, even if the side lamps are out of order.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: The driver must turn-on the side lamps during “light time”.

Side lamps show other road users the full width of a wide vehicle, so they can judge how much of the road it takes up. When such lamps are fitted by law, the driver must turn them on during "light time", on urban and inter-urban roads alike. Driving during light time with the side lamps out of order is not allowed.
