BDifficulty 2/5

A car fitted with main beam travels above 40 km/h on an insufficiently lit road outside a built-up area, with no risk of dazzling or other reason requiring dipped beam. Outside tunnels, during which period is main beam required?

Correct answer

Between sunset and sunrise

Between sunset and sunrise under the stated Article 100 conditions. Also use other required lighting. Change to dipped beam as soon as any road user could be dazzled, including through mirrors of drivers ahead, under Article 102. This is not a general duty to use main beam throughout the day; always adapt speed to visibility.
