Why does Volkswagen have only one reverse light on?

[NadiaLee]

Volkswagen vehicles have only one reverse light illuminated because a single light makes it easier for drivers to identify. Below are the reasons for having only one reverse light and an introduction to the installation position of reverse lights: Reasons for having only one reverse light: Since 2001, China's traffic laws have been revised to require each vehicle to be equipped with at least one fog light and one reverse light. Vehicles under 6 meters in length are mandated to have one reverse light installed, with the other being optional. In practice, a single illuminated reverse light is more noticeable to drivers. Symmetrical lighting on both sides might cause drivers to become desensitized, potentially mistaking the vehicle ahead for one driving in the wrong direction. A single light is easier to recognize. Installation position of reverse lights: The position of reverse lights is also regulated by national standards. Reverse lights are generally installed on the right side of the vehicle's rear. Since China follows left-hand drive, placing the reverse light on the right side allows drivers to conveniently reverse and park on the right side of the road at night. This arrangement not only complies with national regulations but also reduces production costs.
