You are driving on the A7 towards Kornwerderzand and see the sign for your exit approaching. About how many metres before the exit lane do you indicate (in metres)?
Show the answer
Correct answer: 300 m
Correct: 300.0 m (±25.0).
RVV 1990 art. 32: dipped and main beam
At night and in poor visibility by day motor vehicles use dipped or main beam; main beam is forbidden by day, when meeting traffic and when following closely.
How the exam asks it
About Daytime running lights, dipped beam and full beam: which statement is WRONG?
- There is no 'prohibited inside a built-up area' in the book.
- Dipped beam is mandatory at night, AND during the day when there is poor visibility (less than 200 metres).
- The book explicitly names 'another road user (including a pedestrian)' — a pedestrian counts fully as oncoming traffic.
- 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.
About Lighting when stopped: which statement is WRONG?
- Inside a built-up area, sidelights when stopped somewhere dangerous or a nuisance are 'advisable, but not required.'.
- If your sidelights are enough to stand still, they're also enough to drive away with, as long as you take it easy.
- The requirement explicitly applies 'also to any trailer or caravan,' and 'it does not matter whether it is attached to your car or unhitched.'.
- Outside the built-up area, sidelights when stopped are a hard duty, not just advice.
Show the answer
Correct answer: If your sidelights are enough to stand still, they're also enough to drive away with, as long as you take it easy.
The text explicitly warns: with only your sidelights (and rear light) on, you may not drive. Sidelights are exclusively for standing still; for driving you need dipped beam (or full beam)
Why learners get this wrong: Even inside a built-up area you are required to switch on your sidelights (or parking lights) if you stop somewhere dangerous at night.
Where this is explained
- Indicating, brake lights and hazard lights
- Daytime running lights, dipped beam and full beam
- Lighting when stopped
- Bridge and tunnel: side wind, the bridge light, and the tunnel emergency procedures
- Fog-light rule: rain versus fog
- Required lighting and the MOT (APK)
- Fog: why your normal driving habits no longer apply
