Question 4638
A road is considered insufficiently illuminated when...
- the license plate cannot be read at 10 meters or a dark vehicle cannot be distinguished at a distance of 50 meters.
- the license plate cannot be read at 50 meters or a dark vehicle cannot be distinguished at a distance of 10 meters.
- a vehicle cannot be distinguished at a distance of 20 meters.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: the license plate cannot be read at 10 meters or a dark vehicle cannot be distinguished at a distance of 50 meters.
A road is insufficiently lit if, with normal vision, at some point on the roadway you can't read a license plate from 10 meters away or make out a dark vehicle from 50 meters away. Failing either test is enough. Remember: 10 meters for the license plate and 50 for the dark vehicle.
