It is night. You are stopped with a breakdown on the carriageway outside the built-up area, just outside Schoonebeek. What applies to your sidelights?

Explanation

False — Outside the built-up area, sidelights when stopped are a hard duty, not just advice

Why learners get this wrong

• Wrong. Sidelights are mandatory here; that does not exclude using hazard lights, but it does not replace the sidelight duty
• Wrong. Outside the built-up area, sidelights when stopped are a hard duty, not just advice
