What lights should be shown on a parked car, tractor or works vehicle at night on an unlit public road?

  1. Dipped headlights.
  2. Tail lights only.
  3. At least one side lamp front and rear on the side nearest the kerb.
  4. Correct answerAt least one side lamp front and rear on the side nearest the centre of the road.

Explanation

When leaving a vehicle on an unlit public road at night this creates a potential danger for other road users. Drivers should therefore leave side/parking lights on, so that the vehicle can be seen by other road users. Drivers should not leave headlights on when parked as this may cause other road users to become disoriented.

在无照明的公共道路上,停放的汽车、拖拉机或工程车辆在夜间应显示哪些灯光?

  1. 近光灯。
  2. 仅尾灯。
  3. 在靠近路缘的一侧,至少安装一个前侧灯和一个后侧灯。
  4. 在靠近道路中心的一侧,至少安装一个前侧灯和一个后侧灯。

在夜间将车辆停在无照明的公路上会对其他道路使用者造成潜在危险。因此,司机应开启示宽灯/停车灯,以便车辆能被其他道路使用者看到。司机不应在停车时开启前大灯,因为这可能导致其他道路使用者迷失方向。
