BDifficulty 2/5

Outside built-up areas, you drive at night above 40 km/h on an insufficiently lit road. When must you switch from main beam to dipped beam?

Correct answer

When there is a possibility of dazzling other users.

As soon as there is a possibility of dazzling other users. Article 102 requires avoiding dazzle, including through the mirrors of vehicles ahead. That obligation does not depend on exceeding 40 km/h. In the stated conditions, main beam is used under Article 100 until dipped beam is required instead.
