Question 4853

A road is considered to be insufficiently lit when...

  1. the road does not allow you to see clearly.
  2. with normal vision you cannot read a license plate at 10 meters or distinguish a dark-colored vehicle at 50 meters.
  3. you cannot make out the license plate of another vehicle at 50 meters.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: with normal vision you cannot read a license plate at 10 meters or distinguish a dark-colored vehicle at 50 meters.

A road is insufficiently lit if, at any point on the roadway and with normal vision, you cannot read a license plate from 10 meters away or make out a dark car from 50 meters away. Just feeling that visibility is poor is not enough, and the 50 meters refers to the dark car, not the license plate.
