Correct answer
- BNo.No.
According to Article 101 of the General Traffic Regulations, every vehicle driving between sunset and sunrise must have dipped headlights on as well as the position lights, even on well-lit roads. This is because position lights alone do not give the visibility needed for safe driving, especially where visibility may be affected. Driving with only the position lights on would be a serious offence, because more light is needed to prevent accidents.
