BDifficulty 2/5

At night, above 40 km/h on an inadequately lit interurban road, in heavy rain and with no possibility of dazzling anyone, may you use main beam?

Correct answer

Yes, in this situation, switching to dipped beam if dazzling becomes possible.

Yes, in this situation. Rain does not create an absolute ban on main beam: Article 106 includes it among the alternatives and Article 100 regulates its use at night outside built-up areas. Switch to dipped beam as soon as dazzling is possible, including through mirrors. Adapt speed so you can see and stop safely; main beam does not guarantee better visibility in every rain condition.
