How the exam asks it

About Daytime running lights, dipped beam and full beam: which statement is WRONG?

  1. There is no 'prohibited inside a built-up area' in the book.
  2. Dipped beam is mandatory at night, AND during the day when there is poor visibility (less than 200 metres).
  3. The book explicitly names 'another road user (including a pedestrian)' — a pedestrian counts fully as oncoming traffic.
  4. Daytime running lights stay on alongside dipped or full beam; you don't need to switch them off separately.
Show the answer

Correct answer: Daytime running lights stay on alongside dipped or full beam; you don't need to switch them off separately.

As soon as you switch on dipped beam, full beam or fog light, the daytime running light must be (automatically) switched off. It is a replacement, not an addition

Why learners get this wrong: You may only use full beam outside a built-up area; inside a built-up area it is prohibited outright.

Correct answer: Dipped beam is only mandatory at night; during the day it is never required.

Dipped beam is mandatory at night, AND during the day when there is poor visibility (less than 200 metres). The second condition is independent of the time of day

Why learners get this wrong: The ban on full beam applies only to oncoming vehicles, not to a pedestrian coming towards you.

Correct answer: There is no 'prohibited inside a built-up area' in the book.

There is no 'prohibited inside a built-up area' in the book. Full beam is prohibited under three concrete conditions: during the day, when another road user is approaching you, when you are closely following another vehicle. Outside a built-up area without oncoming or leading traffic, at night, full beam is allowed

Why learners get this wrong: The ban on full beam applies only to oncoming vehicles, not to a pedestrian coming towards you.
