BDifficulty 2/5

You drive a car at night above 40 km/h on an inadequately lit interurban road. Main beam is fitted and cannot dazzle anyone. With no conditions justifying fog lights, which lights are required?

Correct answer

Position lights and main beam.

Use position lights and main beam, under Articles 99 and 100. Under these conditions main beam is required, not merely optional. Switch to dipped headlights if dazzling is possible; dipped-light rules also apply if main beam is absent or travelling at no more than 40 km/h without using it. Front fog lights have specific permitted conditions, including certain narrow winding sections, and rear fog lights require particularly adverse conditions: darkness alone does not justify them.
