From the key facts

  • Motor vehicles (including mopeds) always ride with lights on: during the day daytime running lights or dipped headlights; without daytime running lights, a motorcycle's dipped headlights switch on automatically – SVG art. 41, VRV art. 30, VTS art. 140 para. 3
  • Motorcycle: mirrors on the left and right (each at least 69 cm²); with a design speed up to 50 km/h, one on the left is enough; moped: one on the left with at least 50 cm² – VTS art. 143, 179b

All key facts, the questions with explanations and the exam simulation are part of the course.
