Emergency ProceduresDifficulty: 1/5
You park your car at night in a lay-by on a main road where the speed limit is 40 mph. The street lighting is poor but the road is otherwise quiet. What must you do before leaving your vehicle?
Explanation
According to Rule 249 of the Highway Code, all vehicles must display parking lights when parked on a road or lay-by where the speed limit is greater than 30 mph. This helps other road users see your vehicle and reduces the risk of a collision, especially in poor light or at night. Hazard warning lights are not a substitute for parking lights in this situation.
