What does the Highway Code mean by 'night' when deciding whether to use headlights?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. The period from half an hour after sunset to half an hour before sunrise
- Step 1: Rule 113 defines night for the lighting rules. Step 2. Night runs from 30 minutes after sunset until 30 minutes before sunrise. Answer: The period from half an hour after sunset to half an hour before sunrise. Why not the others: Sunset to sunrise, a fixed clock period and one hour offsets are not the Code definition.
