Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: At least one side lamp front and rear on the side nearest the centre of the road..
When leaving a vehicle on an unlit public road at night this creates a potential danger for other road users. Drivers should therefore leave side/parking lights on; so that the vehicle can be seen by other road users. Drivers should not leave headlights on when parked as this may cause other road users to become disoriented.
