Question 7504

If at night you are forced to leave your vehicle stopped on the shoulder of a road because of a breakdown, which lights must you use?

  1. The position lights and the hazard lights.
  2. Only the position lights.
  3. The hazard lights and the low beams.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The position lights and the hazard lights.

If a breakdown leaves you stopped on the shoulder at night, you must leave your position lights and hazard lights on, if your vehicle has hazard lights. You may also use low beams, but they are not required, and position lights alone are not enough after a breakdown. In the image, the passenger car stopped on the shoulder has its turn signals and rear lights on.
