Car permit · Sharing the road
As a driver, you should know that every bicycle ridden after dark is required to have:
Correct answer: A white light in front and a red light or red reflector in back.
Answer options
- ABrake lights that come on whenever the rider slows down
- BWhite reflectors fixed to the front and back fenders
- CA white light in front and a red light or red reflector in back Correct
Why
A bicycle ridden at night needs a white light that shines forward and a red light or red reflector on the back, so drivers approaching from either direction can spot it. White fender reflectors would not meet this rule, and bicycles do not need brake lights.
