What does the aiming (adjustment) of a lorry's headlights consist of?

Correct answer

Adjusting and aiming the beam of light projected by the headlights, both vertically and horizontally.

Vehicle lighting devices must be adjusted, both vertically and horizontally, so that they provide safe, effective illumination without dazzling or inconveniencing other road users. We adjust the headlights by aiming the beam of light they project.
