Facts
Driving with only the parking lights on is a question that many drivers wonder about, and the answer can be a bit complicated. In general, you should not drive with only the parking lights on. The purpose of the parking light is to make the car visible when it is parked, not when it is moving. The parking light is not bright enough to illuminate the road ahead of you or to make your car visible to other drivers.
According to Swedish road traffic regulations, the car's headlights must always be on when driving, regardless of the time of day. The main light helps you see and be seen, which is important for preventing accidents. Only in certain extreme weather conditions where bright headlights can dazzle other drivers or make it difficult for you to see the road, can you consider turning off the headlight and using only the parking light.
But it's important to remember that it's your responsibility as a driver to ensure that your car is visible to others on the road. If you drive with only the parking lights on and get into an accident, you may be held liable.
So to summarize, are you allowed to drive with only the parking lights on? No, generally speaking, you shouldn't. Instead, use your headlights to be visible and see on the road. Park carefully and always think about safety, it is always your number one priority as a driver.
