Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

True. Drivers should leave sidelights on in addition to hazard warning lights when broken down on an unlit road in darkness.
The Highway Code advises that when a vehicle breaks down and causes an obstruction in darkness or poor visibility, drivers should activate hazard warning lights to warn of the hazard and keep sidelights on so other road users can clearly see the vehicle's outline.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the environmental conditions and vehicle status described in the scenario.
The broken-down vehicle is stationary, causing an obstruction, and situated on an unlit road in darkness.
Breakdown safety rules specify additional lighting measures when darkness or poor visibility reduces road visibility.
2
Evaluate the relevant Highway Code rules regarding breakdown illumination and visibility.
Rule 274 explicitly states that if your vehicle breaks down and it is dark or visibility is poor, you should keep your sidelights on in addition to hazard warning lights.
Sidelights provide constant white light at the front and red light at the rear, marking the vehicle's footprint and profile clearly to approaching traffic.
