BDifficulty 2/5

At night, a car travels through an urban junction in clear weather. May it use main beam instead of dipped headlights?

Correct answer

No, use position lights and dipped headlights.

No. Article 101 requires position lights and dipped headlights when travelling at night on urban roads, including poorly lit ones. A junction’s existence does not universally prohibit main beam on an interurban road: articles 100 to 102 apply there and dazzling risks must be avoided. This scenario expressly concerns an urban junction.
