Correct answer
- ANo.No.
On all roads in built-up areas, both streets and travesías (stretches of road through a town), it is prohibited to drive with main beam. These lights are very powerful and often dazzle other road users. As built-up areas have many pedestrians as well as vehicles, these lights may not be used. They may not be used either when the vehicle is stopped or parked.
