het achteruitrijlicht

Translation

reversing light

A light intended to illuminate the road behind the vehicle and to warn other road users that the vehicle is reversing or is about to reverse (art. 1.1 Regeling voertuigen). It is white and comes on with reverse gear. It warns, but it gives you no priority: when reversing you must give way to all other traffic (art. 54).

How it sounds in the exam
