When riding a motorcycle on the road at night, which lights must be turned on?
💡 Hint
The lights to turn on at night are set by vehicle type, and differently for driving and for stopping or parking (Article 19 of the Enforcement Decree of the Road Traffic Act). A motorcycle has fewer required lights than a motor vehicle, but remember it still needs both a light that shines ahead and a light visible from behind.
Answer: ②
Explanation
Under Enforcement Decree Article 19(1)2, a motorcycle must have its headlight and tail light on when riding on the road at night. Tail light only is the rule for stopping or parking (paragraph 2 of the same article), and an interior light applies to vehicles such as buses.
