What action is indicated when the rear lights are white and lit?

• A. Reversing
• B. Stopping
• C. Turning left
• D. Accelerating

Answer: (A)

White rear lights mean the vehicle is reversing. These lights come on when the driver selects reverse gear, signaling that the car is moving backward or about to back up. So the action indicated is backing up. When you see this, slow down, give them space, and be prepared to stop or let them finish backing out. This is different from brake lights (red) which show stopping, or indicators/tail lights for turning or simply being visible; reversing lights are a specific cue that the vehicle is moving in reverse.
