If there are no weather conditions reducing visibility, which lights must you use when driving at night on an inadequately lit interurban road?

Correct answer

The position lights and the dipped or main-beam headlights.

When driving at night on an inadequately lit interurban road and there are no weather conditions reducing visibility, we must use the position lights together with the dipped or main-beam headlights. Dipped headlights are suitable for most situations, as they illuminate the road sufficiently without dazzling other drivers. However, main-beam headlights may be used if we are travelling at more than 40 km/h and there is no possibility of dazzling other road users. We must remember that using main-beam headlights is prohibited when the vehicle is stopped or parked, or when driving on roads within built-up areas, as they could dazzle other drivers and pedestrians. Correctly adapting the use of lights is not only a matter of complying with regulations, but also of road safety, ensuring adequate visibility and avoiding accidents.
