Correct answer
No, dipped-beam or main-beam headlights must also be used.
It is not permitted to travel between sunset and sunrise using only the vehicle’s position lights. During this period, dipped-beam or main-beam headlights must be used, depending on visibility conditions, to ensure safe driving and adequate visibility to other drivers. Position lights alone are insufficient to provide the necessary illumination in low-light conditions or darkness, so dipped-beam or main-beam headlights are essential to improve visibility on the road and reduce the risk of collisions. This rule applies both in normal night-time visibility conditions and when weather or environmental conditions significantly reduce visibility, such as heavy rain, fog or snow.
