Correct answer

  • APor una vía interurbana insuficientemente iluminada.On an insufficiently lit road outside built-up areas.
Explanation

The main beam is compulsory when driving at more than 40 km/h between sunset and sunrise on insufficiently lit roads outside built-up areas, and in poorly lit tunnels (Article 100 of the General Traffic Regulations). In built-up areas or on well-lit roads you use dipped headlights.
