Correct answer
Drive at a speed that allows the vehicle to be stopped within the illuminated area.
If, while driving, you suffer a failure of the vehicle's main-beam headlight system and are forced to drive using lights of lower intensity, such as dipped-beam headlights in this case, you will be permitted to drive at night under these conditions provided you adapt your vehicle's speed sufficiently to be able to stop the vehicle within the illuminated area.
