AMDifficulty 3/5

You drive at night with main beams and notice that you may dazzle another road user. What must you do with that lighting?

Correct answer

Switch to dipped beams.

Switch from main beams to dipped beams as soon as a risk of dazzling is noticed. Article 102 also protects those ahead who can be dazzled through mirrors and users of other transport routes. Do not wait for overtaking to finish before dipping the lights. When passing opposing traffic, do not restore main beams until beyond the other vehicle’s position; do not switch off all lighting needed for night driving.
