Correct answer
- COpcionalmente el de largo o corto alcance.Optionally, main beam or dipped headlights.
Vehicles fitted with main beam must use it when driving at more than 40 km/h: - between sunset and sunrise, on poorly lit roads outside built-up areas; - at any time of day, in tunnels, underpasses and stretches of road covered by the 'Tunnel' sign that are poorly lit. However, dipped headlights must be used by: - vehicles that do not have main beam; - vehicles driving with main beam that could dazzle other road users. When driving at no more than 40 km/h, you can use dipped headlights or main beam. It is prohibited to use main beam when the vehicle is stopped, parked or in a built-up area. In this case, as you are not driving at more than 40 km/h, main beam is optional, not compulsory.
