BDifficulty 3/5

At night, a car travels at 30 km/h on an insufficiently lit interurban road. There are no conditions requiring fog lights. In addition to position lights, may it use dipped headlights without switching on main beam?

Correct answer

Yes; at that speed it may use dipped headlights, and main beam only if it does not dazzle.

Yes. At no more than 40 km/h it may use dipped headlights instead of main beam, under article 101.2.b. Main beam may be used if installed and it does not dazzle others; replace it with dipped headlights if it could dazzle, including through the mirrors of the vehicle ahead. Article 100.1 requires main beam above 40 km/h in its specified circumstances, subject to the exceptions in articles 101 and 102. The requirement in insufficiently lit tunnels is also subject to those conditions.
