BDifficulty 2/5

On an inadequately lit interurban road, the red car follows the green car closely and is not yet alongside it. It keeps its main beam on, which can dazzle the driver ahead through the mirrors. Is this correct?

Correct answer

No, as it may dazzle the driver of the green vehicle.

No. Switch from main beam to dipped beam whenever another user could be dazzled, including through mirrors. While overtaking, avoid dazzling the vehicle ahead. Coming alongside does not automatically authorise switching back to main beam: its use must satisfy the applicable conditions and dazzle nobody. Overtaking does not justify keeping main beam on.
