Should the position lights be kept on all the time?

When driving at night, the position lights need to be kept on. Here are the precautions for using car lights: When a motor vehicle passes through an intersection controlled by traffic lights and turns left, the turn signal should be turned on, and the low beam should be used when driving at night. When a following vehicle is driving close to the vehicle in front in the same direction, the high beam should not be used. When a motor vehicle passes through a sharp curve, slope, arch bridge, crosswalk, or an intersection without traffic light control at night, it should alternately use the high and low beams to signal. High and low beams: Both are used for nighttime illumination. The high beam can improve visibility and expand the field of view. On dark roads without streetlights, the visible range with the high beam on is much larger than with only the low beam on. The low beam is for close-range illumination, with a short irradiation distance and unadjustable focus, covering approximately 30-40 meters. On roads without a centerline: When meeting another vehicle at night, switch to the low beam at least 150 meters away from the oncoming vehicle. When meeting non-motorized vehicles on narrow roads or narrow bridges, use the low beam. If a motor vehicle breaks down or is involved in a traffic accident on the road, obstructing traffic and making it difficult to move, the hazard warning lights should be turned on as required, and a warning sign should be placed 50 to 100 meters behind the vehicle. At night, the position lights and rear position lights should also be turned on simultaneously.
