Question 7498
The driver of a vehicle stopped on the roadway or shoulder of a road section through a built-up area (travesía) that is insufficiently lit, between sunset and sunrise, is required to...
- keep the position lights on.
- turn off the lights to avoid draining the battery.
- always keep the hazard lights on.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: keep the position lights on.
At night, if your vehicle is left stopped on the roadway or shoulder of a poorly lit road section through a built-up area (travesía), you must keep your position lights on so others can see you. You must also use hazard lights in specific cases, such as a breakdown or an accident. Turning the lights off to save the battery is not allowed. If you are parallel parked, you may replace the position lights with the parking light.
