While parking a broken-down car on a paved road outside a built-up area, do you have to leave the low-beam lights on?
Description
Art. 50 para. 2 pt. 2a of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137)
Explanation
Correct answer: No
No, the regulations do not require turning on dipped beam headlights, which are used to illuminate the road while driving. According to Art. 50 of the Road Traffic Act, a stationary damaged vehicle must be indicated by activating the hazard warning lights. Additionally, outside built-up areas, a warning triangle must be placed 30-50 m behind the vehicle.
