BDifficulty 3/5

At night, a main-beam fault cannot be repaired en route and you need to continue to a safe repair location. Dipped beams work and safe travel is possible. How must you adapt speed?

Correct answer

Reduce it enough to stop within the illuminated area.

Reduce it so you can stop within the area illuminated by the dipped beams, under article 107. The question assumes continuing is necessary and safe: if safe travel is impossible, do not continue and request assistance. An unspecified “low” speed is insufficient, and fog lights cannot be used outside authorised situations. Avoid dazzling and repair the fault as soon as possible.
