Abstract
A vehicle that is the leaning vehicle or the straddled vehicle includes a fiber optic cable extending from a laser beam source unit to both a forward light-emitting part and a rearward light-emitting part via a forward-rearward branch portion, the fiber optic cable allowing a laser beam emitted from the laser beam source unit to be branched in the forward-rearward branch portion, and then supplied to both the forward light-emitting part and the rearward light-emitting part. A length of the fiber optic cable between the laser beam source unit and the forward-rearward branch portion is shorter than a total length of the fiber optic cable between the forward-rearward branch portion and the forward light-emitting part and between the forward-rearward branch portion and the rearward light-emitting part in a side view of the vehicle.
