C1Difficulty 3/5

A lorry equipped with main-beam headlights travels at night above 40 km/h, outside a built-up area on an insufficiently lit road. It is not in a tunnel and there is no risk of glare. Which lighting must it use?

Correct answer

Main-beam headlights.

Main-beam headlights, used alone or with dipped beam. The question specifies the required time, speed, location and road lighting. Switch to dipped beam when required to avoid dazzling others. Main beam is not required on every urban road and must not remain on when stopped or parked. Tunnels and reduced-visibility situations have specific conditions distinct from this case.
