Between sunset and sunrise, which lighting is required?

• A. Headlights on high beam
• B. All sidelights on
• C. Parking lights only
• D. Hazard lights only

Answer: (B)

Darkness makes you less visible, so you must ensure your vehicle is lit to be seen by others. Between sunset and sunrise, the minimum appropriate lighting is to have all sidelights on, front and rear, so your car is visible from the sides as well as from the front and back. High beam is too bright and can dazzle other drivers, and it's not needed or appropriate for normal night driving. Parking lights (for a parked vehicle) aren’t suitable as your sole lighting while driving, and hazard lights indicate an emergency or a stationary breakdown, not normal driving. So keeping all sidelights on provides the right level of visibility for night driving.
