At night, you ride at 80 km/h on a motorcycle with a working main beam on an insufficiently lit dual carriageway outside a built-up area. There is no risk of dazzling and no other condition requiring dipped beam. Which lights must be switched on?

Correct answer

Position lights and main beam; dipped beam may accompany main beam, but both need not operate simultaneously.

Use position lights and main beam. Above 40 km/h on an insufficiently lit road outside a built-up area, main beam is required in this situation. It may operate alone or together with dipped beam: both are not required simultaneously. If another road user could be dazzled, replace main beam with dipped beam and adapt speed to visibility. Position lights alone are insufficient.
