Will Points Be Deducted for Non-Functioning Brake Lights?

[DeLaila]

Generally, non-functioning brake lights will result in a fine but no points deduction. Automobile Rear Brake Lights: Rear lights, also known as tail lights, are white lights positioned as close to the rear of the vehicle as possible, emitting a continuous glow. They display a 135° horizontal arc of light from directly behind the vehicle to 67.5° on each side. Their visibility distance varies based on the length of the vehicle, typically required to be 3 or 2 nautical miles. These lights help indicate the vehicle's movement and allow other drivers to discern its actions, aiding in determining crossing or overtaking situations. Function of Automobile Brake Lights: The primary purpose of rear brake lights and high-mounted brake lights is to alert following drivers when the vehicle ahead is braking, thereby helping to prevent rear-end collisions. The brake indicator on the dashboard serves to inform the driver when the rear brake lights are activated.
