Question 7501
If the required vehicle lighting fails, may you drive at night with lighting of lower intensity?
- No, you may not continue your trip.
- Yes, as long as you maintain a speed that allows you to stop the vehicle within the illuminated area.
- Yes, you may continue to the nearest repair shop.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, as long as you maintain a speed that allows you to stop the vehicle within the illuminated area.
Yes. If a light fails during your trip and you cannot repair it, you may continue with weaker lighting, but at a speed that lets you stop within the area your lights illuminate. You are not limited to driving to the nearest repair shop, nor are you required to abandon your trip. For example, if your high beams fail, you continue with low beams at a lower speed.
