Ever cruised down a familiar road at night, only to be stumped by parking when the speed limit stays at 40 mph? Don't worry, it happens to the best of us! Here's the secret: even though the speed limit's the same, parking at night requires a small change to keep everyone safe on the road.
Theory Test Flashback: Shine a Light on Night Parking!
Remember that theory test grind? One key thing you learned is that whenever you park on a road (or lay-by) with a speed limit exceeding 30 mph at night, you absolutely must turn on your parking lights. Here's why they're important:
Night Vision Boost: Think of your parking lights as little superheroes! They make your parked car stand out in the darkness, especially for drivers approaching from behind who might not see you as easily.
Practical Test Challenge: Parking Under the Stars!
Now imagine your practical test. The examiner throws a nighttime parking scenario your way. Remember, using your parking lights here becomes a double win:
Safety First: It shows the examiner you prioritize safety by making sure your car is clearly visible. This can definitely score you some points!
Confidence Builder: Parking at night can feel trickier. Using your parking lights helps you feel more confident by knowing you're doing everything right according to the rules.
