What lights must cars use when parked at night if the speed limit exceeds 30mph?

Headlights
Sidelights/parking lights
Hazard lights
Fog lights

The correct answer is: Sidelights/parking lights

When parked at night on a road where the speed limit exceeds 30mph, vehicles are required to use sidelights or parking lights. This ensures that the parked car is visible to other road users, particularly in low-light conditions. Sidelights are specifically designed for this purpose; they allow your vehicle to be seen without distracting other drivers with full headlights. Using hazard lights in this scenario is not appropriate as they indicate a temporary stop or that the vehicle is in distress. Headlights are typically used when actively driving, while fog lights are intended to illuminate the road during adverse weather conditions, such as fog or heavy rain, and are not meant for parking situations. Therefore, sidelights or parking lights provide the necessary visibility without causing confusion for passing motorists.
