Texas State Inspection Practice

What clearance lights are necessary on vehicles 80" or more in overall width?

1. 1 red light in front and 1 amber light in rear

2. 2 amber lights in front, and 2 red lights in rear

3. 3 white lights in front and 3 white lights in rear

4. 4 amber lights in front and 4 red lights in rear

The correct answer is: 2 amber lights in front, and 2 red lights in rear

Vehicles that are 80" or more in overall width require multiple clearance lights to ensure visibility on the road. Option A and C are incorrect because they only have a single color of light, either red or white. Option D has too many lights, which can be confusing for other drivers on the road. The correct answer, B, gives a clear indication of the vehicle's dimensions with two amber lights in the front and two red lights in the rear. This follows the standard color coding for clearance lights, where amber indicates the front and red indicates the rear of a vehicle.
