Is it mandatory to switch off a motorcycle's lighting system while refueling?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is strictly mandatory. According to General Traffic Regulations, to refuel any vehicle, the engine must be stopped and the ignition switched off, in addition to turning off the lights and electrical systems (such as the radio or mobile devices). The main reason is safety: highly flammable fuel vapors are released during refueling. Any electrical spark or heat generated by the light bulbs could cause a deflagration or fire. Therefore, keeping any light on, even position lights, is not permitted.
