Info Sheet Missiles v2

Rule 215 of the Australian Road Rules specifies that you must not drive a vehicle at night unless the headlights, tail lights and number plate illumination light are functioning and clearly visible. This also includes any side clearance marker lights. Night is defined in the rules as between sunset and sunrise the next day.

For those on a Learner Permit, any driving performed between sunset and sunrise counts towards your night driving hours requirements.

Whatever the actual lighting up time is it is often preferable to switch your lights on earlier and switch off later than official set and rise times.

Your lights are for your safety as well as the safety of others and ensure that you can be seen easily even if you don’t need your lights to see.
