Correct answer
- BPosición y luces de corto alcance.Position lights and dipped headlights.
On a poorly lit road in a built-up area, the driver must use the position lights together with dipped headlights. This makes the vehicle visible to other road users and at the same time lights the carriageway properly without dazzling other drivers. Switching on only the position lights is not enough, because they do not light the road, and using only main beam is not appropriate either, because it could dazzle other vehicles on the road.
