Correct answer
- BSí, porque la vía no está suficientemente iluminada.Yes, because the road is not sufficiently lit.
In poor visibility, such as heavy rain, the General Traffic Regulations require lights to be used. According to Article 106, when visibility is greatly reduced, the appropriate lights must be used. Main beam can be used to improve visibility on poorly lit roads outside built-up areas, when you cannot make out a black vehicle at 50 metres.
