On a poorly lit interurban road, a vehicle is travelling at a speed below 40 km/h. Is it permitted to drive with low-beam lights?

Correct answer

Yes, but you may also switch on the high-beam lights provided you do not dazzle other drivers.

When travelling at more than 40 km/h: Between sunset and sunrise, on roads outside built-up areas (interurban roads) that are poorly lit. At any time of day, in tunnels, underpasses, and road sections affected by the 'tunnel' sign that are poorly lit. However, low-beam or dipped headlights must be used: By vehicles that do not have high-beam lights. When driving with high-beam lights and there is a possibility of dazzling other road users. When travelling at a speed not exceeding 40 km/h, both low-beam and high-beam lights may be used (either one). The use of high-beam lights is prohibited when the vehicle is stopped or parked, or when driving on roads located within a built-up area.
