What is the difference between position lights and brake lights?
1 Answers
Position lights and brake lights differ in their functions: Position lights are used to indicate the width and length of the vehicle to avoid collisions and scratches; brake lights are used to alert following vehicles that the car is slowing down or stopping. Brake lights are brighter and more noticeable, only illuminating during braking with a larger lighting area. When brake lights are on, position lights remain lit. In addition to providing illumination, car headlights also serve as a means of communication between drivers. Proper use of light signals can help prevent accidents and serve as reminders and warnings.
