Correct answer
- CDonde hay peligro de deslumbrar y en vías urbanas.Where there is a risk of dazzling and on urban roads.
Main beam is used outside built-up areas on roads that are not lit well enough, including motorways (autopistas) and poorly lit tunnels (Article 100.1 of the General Traffic Regulations, RGC). In built-up areas you use dipped headlights even if the road is poorly lit (Article 101.1), and you must switch to dipped headlights whenever you might dazzle someone (Article 102.1).
