Question 4386

Are cyclists required to turn on their lights when riding at night?

  1. Yes.
  2. Only when riding on roads outside built-up areas.
  3. No, if they are wearing reflective clothing.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes.

Yes. At night, a bicycle must have a white position light on at the front and a red one at the rear, both in the city and on roads outside it. On a road outside a built-up area, the cyclist must also wear something luminous or reflective that is visible from 150 meters away, such as a vest, which does not replace those lights. The cyclist in the image is wearing a reflective vest and has the lights on.
