What type of lights are permitted on a non-emergency vehicle?

1. Flashing lights

2. Colored lights

3. Spotlights

4. Both spotlights and fog lights

The correct answer is: Both spotlights and fog lights

A non-emergency vehicle is allowed to use spotlights and fog lights, which are utilized for enhanced visibility in certain driving conditions. Spotlights can help illuminate an area of interest, particularly in low-light situations or when needing to see further down a road. Fog lights are designed to shine a wide, low beam of light that cuts through fog, rain, or snow, helping the driver see the road better without causing glare that can further impair visibility. The inclusion of both spotlights and fog lights in the correct answer acknowledges their utility and compliance with regulations that govern their use on non-emergency vehicles. These lights, when used appropriately, do not disrupt other road users or suggest an emergency vehicle status. Understanding the appropriate use and limitations of vehicle lighting is crucial for safe driving practices.
