Correct answer
- BEl alumbrado de corto alcance.Dipped headlights.
To drive at night on a road in a built-up area, whatever its level of lighting, you must use dipped headlights. Main beam is prohibited in built-up areas. Even if the road is poorly lit, dipped headlights must be used to avoid dazzling other road users. When driving, the position lights must always be used together with some other lights; you cannot drive with only the position lights.
