At night on an urban road, may you use main-beam headlights as continuous driving lighting?

Correct answer

No.

No; use dipped headlights with position lights, even if the urban road is insufficiently lit. A dipped-headlight fault does not authorise using main beam to continue normally. Distinguish continuous lighting from brief light warnings allowed by the rules, which must avoid dazzling. Outside built-up areas, main beam has its own conditions and must be replaced by dipped headlights if it may dazzle.
