Zorluk: OrtaLighting and Horn Usage

The Highway Code specifies exact lighting requirements for different driving conditions and stationary situations. Match each road situation with the correct lighting action that must be taken.

  • Parking overnight on an unlit road where the speed limit is 40 mphLeave parking lights (sidelights) switched on and park facing in the direction of traffic flow
  • Following another vehicle closely at night on a dark rural roadKeep headlights dipped to prevent dazzling the driver ahead via their mirrors
  • Waiting in a stationary queue of traffic at night on a level roadApply the parking brake and release the footbrake to avoid dazzling following drivers with brake lights
  • Driving in daytime during dense fog that severely reduces visibilitySwitch on dipped headlights and, if necessary, use front or rear fog lights

Cevap

Parking overnight on a 40 mph unlit road matches with leaving parking lights on facing traffic flow; following a vehicle at night matches with keeping headlights dipped; waiting in a stationary queue matches with applying the parking brake and releasing the footbrake; driving in daytime dense fog matches with using dipped headlights and fog lights if necessary.
Each driving scenario corresponds to a clear statutory rule or safety guideline in The Highway Code designed to maximize visibility while preventing dazzle to other road users.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate night parking regulations on roads with speed limits above 30 mph.
Identify that parking lights (sidelights) must be left on and the vehicle must face the direction of traffic flow.
The Highway Code (Rules 248 and 249) mandates parking lights on roads with speed limits greater than 30 mph to ensure the stationary vehicle remains visible to oncoming traffic without causing an unlit obstruction.
2
Evaluate headlight etiquette when following another vehicle at night.
Identify that headlights must remain dipped.
Main beam headlights reflect off the interior and exterior mirrors of the vehicle ahead, severely dazzling and blinding the driver.
3
Evaluate lighting safety when stopped in stationary queues at night.
Identify that the parking brake should be applied and the footbrake released.
Sustained high-intensity brake lights cause discomfort and dazzle drivers stopped directly behind in queues.
4
Evaluate daytime adverse weather requirements.
Identify that dipped headlights and optional fog lights should be engaged.
Dipped headlights and fog lights ensure the vehicle can be seen in severely reduced visibility without dazzling other road users.
