Question 6332

May you drive if the brake lights are not working?

  1. No, since they are required.
  2. Yes, since they are optional.
  3. Yes, if you have the third brake light.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, since they are required.

Every passenger car must have brake lights to warn the driver behind that you are braking. You must not drive if they are not working, even if the third brake light works, because it does not replace the two at the outer edges. In the image, the car ahead is braking with all three on.
