Show answer

Correct answer

  • BNo.No.
Explanation

You cannot drive on any type of road with only the position lights; at the very least you must use the position lights with dipped headlights. We must leave them on, between sunset and sunrise or in weather or environmental conditions that reduce visibility: * when stopped on the carriageway or hard shoulder of any road, including tunnels, underpasses or enclosed places; * also when parked: - on a hard shoulder that cannot be driven on, on a road outside a built-up area; - on the carriageway or hard shoulder of a poorly lit travesía; - on the carriageway or hard shoulder of a road in a built-up area, when the lighting does not let other road users see the vehicle from a sufficient distance.
