Correct answer
On an insufficiently lit road outside a built-up area.
On an insufficiently lit road outside a built-up area. Article 100 requires it under those conditions, but change to dipped beam as soon as dazzling is possible, including through mirrors of drivers ahead. Darkness does not allow continuous main beam on an urban road, and a sufficiently lit interurban road does not itself require it. Always observe speed, visibility and other lighting requirements.
