You have finished working in the fields and want to drive home on public roads with your tractor. It is already dusk. What must you do?

In Germany, when driving a tractor on public roads at dusk, it is mandatory to switch on the vehicle’s standard lights to ensure visibility to other road users, even if you still have good sight. This helps prevent accidents by making your tractor more visible. Additionally, you must check that all lights are working properly and clean them if needed, as dirty or faulty lights reduce visibility. Work lights are not intended for road use and can dazzle other drivers, so they should not be turned on while driving on public roads. Following these rules helps maintain safety for everyone.
