What lights must the overtaken vehicle keep on on a poorly lit road until the overtaking vehicle has returned to its lane?
Lighting
Explanation
To drive safely on a **poorly lit road**, it is important to use the **appropriate lighting**. In this case, the overtaken vehicle must maintain the **road lighting** while being overtaken.
- **Road lights**: These lights, also known as high beams, are essential on roads outside towns or cities, especially when there is little natural light. They are mandatory when driving over 40 km/h in these conditions.
- During an overtaking maneuver, the vehicle being overtaken must keep the road lights on. This is because these lights illuminate the road for both vehicles, facilitating a safe overtaking.
- Road lights provide better visibility in low-light conditions, which is crucial to avoid accidents and ensure that both drivers can clearly see the road.
Therefore, on a poorly lit road, the use of **road lighting** is the correct option for the overtaken vehicle.
