Show the correct answer
Correct answer
B. B.
Explanation
In the drawing, three warning light symbols: A - a red double triangle, B - two green lamps with rays pointing to the sides, C - a blue headlamp with horizontal lines. Sidelights (position lights) switched on are indicated by light B - answer B.
The colours of warning lights have a meaning: green and blue ones inform you that something is switched on, yellow (amber) ones warn, and red ones mean a fault or danger. The symbol of two small lamps facing away from each other and shining to the sides stands for sidelights, which show the outline of the vehicle at the front and rear. The red double triangle (answer A) means hazard warning lights, and the blue headlamp with horizontal rays (answer C) - main beam (high beam). Remember that sidelights alone are not enough for driving - in traffic you use dipped headlights (low beam). Sidelights are useful, for example, in a tractor without hazard warning lights, when you need to signal that a broken-down vehicle is parked.
