het dagrijlicht

Translation

daytime running light

A forward-facing light that makes the vehicle more visible by day (Regeling voertuigen, art. 1.1). It does not light the road and does not switch on the tail lamps: in fog, dusk or rain you may see enough while remaining dark from behind. Once visibility is seriously impaired, dipped beam is compulsory (art. 32(1)) and running lights are not enough.

How it sounds in the exam
