Question 4416

When the use of lighting is required, position lights and clearance lights must be on for vehicles...

  1. with a height greater than 4 meters.
  2. with a width greater than 1.80 meters and a height greater than 4 meters.
  3. with a width greater than 2.10 meters.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: with a width greater than 2.10 meters.

Clearance lights indicate the vehicle's overall width and are placed as high and as far toward the outer edges as possible. If the vehicle is more than 2.10 meters wide, they are mandatory and must be turned on along with the position lights. From 1.80 to 2.10 meters wide, they are optional. Height does not matter. In the image, the coach bus has its two rear clearance lights on at the upper corners.
