Your license plate light must make the plate visible from what distance?
-
A.
100 feet
-
B.
200 feet
-
C.
50 feet Correct
-
D.
300 feet
The answer is "50 feet"
The required-equipment list states the white plate light must illuminate the plate to be visible from 50 feet. Choice B, 200 feet, is the horn and rear-view mirror figure printed a few rows down in the same equipment table; drivers who scan the wrong row of that table land there.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. 100 feet
One hundred feet does not appear as a plate-light distance in the required-equipment table. This answer reaches for a familiar round number when no specific figure comes to mind, treating 100 feet as a safe default for any small bulb.
B. 200 feet
Two hundred feet is the horn and rear-view mirror standard, not the plate-light distance. This answer grabs the first 200-foot figure that jumps off the equipment page, since two neighboring rows print it and the number feels large enough for a rear-facing light.
D. 300 feet
Three hundred feet is the daytime brake-light standard, not the plate-light distance. This answer carries the brake-light 300-foot figure over to the plate-light row on the assumption that all rear-facing lights share the same visibility standard.
