Question 1220

An inadequately lit road is one where…

  1. A license plate cannot be read at 50 meters or a dark vehicle cannot be made out at a distance of 10 meters.
  2. A license plate cannot be read at 10 meters or a dark vehicle cannot be made out at a distance of 50 meters.
  3. A vehicle cannot be made out at a distance of 20 meters.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A license plate cannot be read at 10 meters or a dark vehicle cannot be made out at a distance of 50 meters.

It is enough that a person with normal vision cannot read a license plate at 10 meters or distinguish a dark vehicle at 50 meters. Both conditions do not have to be present for lighting to be considered insufficient.
