Is it permitted to drive between sunset and sunrise using only the vehicle’s parking lights?
Lighting
Explanation
To drive at night, it is **mandatory to use additional lights** besides the position lights. Position lights alone are not sufficient when the vehicle is in motion. These lights are used only when the car is stopped, for example, due to a breakdown on a poorly lit road.
During the night, dipped beam headlights or main beam headlights must be turned on. Main beam headlights are necessary on roads outside towns or cities when there is little natural light and driving at more than 40 km/h. This ensures that the vehicle is visible and that the driver can adequately see the road.
Therefore, **it is not allowed to drive only with position lights between sunset and sunrise**. It is also necessary to use dipped beam headlights or main beam headlights to ensure safety in night driving.
