Between sunset and sunrise, in which situation may you switch on only the parking lights?
Lighting
Explanation
To understand why only the **position light** can be turned on when immobilizing the vehicle on the shoulder of a road outside of town, it is important to know the proper use of vehicle lights.
- **Position lights**: These lights are mainly used to indicate the presence of the vehicle when it is stopped. According to the regulations, position lights can be turned on alone only when the vehicle is stationary, for example, due to a breakdown on a poorly lit road. This helps other drivers see the vehicle parked on the shoulder.
- **Lighting conditions**: On poorly lit roads, it is crucial for vehicles to be visible to avoid accidents. Position lights fulfill this function when the vehicle is immobilized.
Therefore, turning on only the position lights is appropriate and allowed when the vehicle is stopped on the shoulder of a road outside of town, especially if the lighting is insufficient.
