Parking at night or in poor visibility<br />
If you leave your vehicle on <strong>the</strong> road at night or when visibility is poor, it<br />
must have front and rear parking lights alight unless it is made clearly visible<br />
from a distance of 200 metres by a lighted street light or o<strong>the</strong>r lamp.<br />
If your vehicle is 2.2 metres wide or wider, you must always have <strong>the</strong><br />
clearance and side marker lights alight at night or in poor visibility.<br />
Rear vision mirrors<br />
Your vehicle must have a mirror or mirrors fitted so that you can have a<br />
clear view of any vehicle approaching from behind. If, for any reason, your<br />
view from an internally-fitted mirror is obscured, external mirrors must be<br />
fitted that provide a clear view.<br />
Panel vans and utilities must be fitted with two external rear vision mirrors.<br />
At least one mirror must be fitted to each side of any vehicle when<br />
towing a trailer that is wider than <strong>the</strong> towing vehicle. Motorcycles built<br />
after (June 1975) must also have a rear vision mirror on each side.<br />
Check list<br />
Your vehicle needs to be fitted with:<br />
• lights – headlights, tail lights, number plate light, parking lights<br />
• horn<br />
• mirrors – an internal rear view mirror, and if this does not offer<br />
a clear view, side mounted rear view mirrors.<br />
This equipment must be kept functional and clean.<br />
