Is it mandatory for motor vehicles to have side position lights?
Lighting
Explanation
The **side position lights** are important for other drivers to clearly see the vehicle and understand its size. However, not all vehicles are required to have them.
- **Requirement:** Only vehicles that exceed **6 meters in length** must have side position lights. This is because longer vehicles need to be more visible to prevent accidents, especially in low-light conditions.
- **Use of position lights:** These lights are mainly used when the vehicle is stationary in dark places or when there is little natural light, such as at night or in tunnels. When the vehicle is in motion, the position lights are combined with other lights to improve visibility.
Therefore, only longer vehicles, those measuring more than 6 meters, are required to have these lights to ensure road safety.
