Correct answer
Yes.
Road regulations allow a vehicle to use its main-beam headlights simultaneously with its dipped-beam headlights. Main-beam headlights, also known as full beam, emit a very intense white light designed to illuminate a long distance. Dipped-beam headlights, on the other hand, emit a less intense light over a shorter distance, which is ideal for well-lit areas or when there is a risk of dazzling other drivers. Using both lights at the same time, if the vehicle permits it, improves visibility by covering both long and short distances, increasing safety.
