Will I Get Penalty Points for Driving with Width Lights on at Night?

[DelaneyLynn]

No, you won't get penalty points as there are no relevant regulations in current traffic rules. Introduction to Width Lights: Automotive width lights refer to the front and rear position lights of a vehicle. Essentially, clearance lights and width lights are quite similar. The location of width lights varies depending on the vehicle model. On passenger cars, width lights are commonly called parking lights. For larger vehicles with bigger dimensions, the lights on both front and rear sides are referred to as width lights. On trucks, width lights are commonly known as side marker lights. Precautions for Using Lights When Driving at Night: If road lighting conditions are poor, you may turn on high beams. However, please switch to low beams when there's a vehicle ahead or during oncoming traffic. When approaching intersections or encountering oncoming vehicles, you may briefly flash your high beams - this serves both to better illuminate the road ahead and to alert passing vehicles and pedestrians at the intersection.
