Correct answer
Reduce speed to allow stopping within the illuminated area.
Reduce speed so that the vehicle can stop within the illuminated area. Heading to a garage does not permit any speed, and this is not general authorisation to drive without adequate lighting. If you cannot continue safely, immobilise the vehicle somewhere safe and request assistance. Repair the fault; ordinary dipped-beam use is not itself a lighting breakdown.
