Correct answer
- ASí.Yes.
According to the General Traffic Regulations, vehicle lights, including those of motorcycles, must be switched off while refuelling. This is for safety, because sources of ignition can cause fires where fuel is being handled. Switching off the lights avoids the risk of starting a fire in the refuelling area, where there are petrol vapours that can catch fire.
