Show answer

Correct answer

  • CLas luces de posición.The sidelights.
Explanation

According to Article 105.1 of the General Traffic Regulations, any vehicle that is stationary between sunset and sunrise on the carriageway or hard shoulder must have its sidelights on and, where fitted, its end-outline marker lights. Parking lights may replace them only in poorly lit travesías (stretches of road through a town), not on the hard shoulder of an open road.
