Question 8221

It is nighttime and, because of a breakdown, you need to stop your vehicle on the shoulder of a road. Which lights must you turn on?

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

Correct answer: The position lights and the hazard lights.

At night, a vehicle stopped on the shoulder must have its position lights and hazard lights on, if it has hazard lights. You must also place the V-16 at the highest point on the vehicle. Low beams are not required in this case, and position lights alone are not enough. In the image, the car stopped on the shoulder has the V-16 on its roof.
