BDifficulty 2/5

On a road section through a built-up area, may you keep main beams on to illuminate the road during ordinary night-time driving?

Correct answer

No.

No. Use dipped beams for night-time driving through a built-up area, whether lighting is sufficient or insufficient, under Articles 100 and 101. The absence of another user to dazzle does not authorise maintaining main beams in this situation. This is distinct from the authorised brief light warnings under Article 110, which have a different purpose and their own conditions.
