Is it permitted to drive using only the vehicle’s position lights between sunset and sunrise?
Lighting
Explanation
It is not allowed to travel using only the vehicle's **position lights** between sunset and sunrise. Here I explain why:
- **Position lights** are used when driving at night, passing through a tunnel, or on dark days with little natural light. However, when the vehicle is in motion, these lights must always be accompanied by another type of light. They can only be used alone when the car is stopped, for example, due to a breakdown on a poorly lit road.
- At night, it is necessary to use lights that provide greater visibility. Therefore, in addition to the position lights, you must turn on, at a minimum, the **dipped beam headlights**. This ensures that you can see and be seen properly on the road.
- Using only the position lights while driving is not enough to ensure safety, as they do not provide the necessary visibility to drive safely in low-light conditions.
Therefore, whenever you drive between sunset and sunrise, make sure to use the appropriate lighting to maintain road safety.
