Show answer
Correct answer
- BEl que circula por la parte interior de la curva.The one on the inside of the bend.
On a bend, the headlights of the vehicle on the inside point towards the outside, exactly where the oncoming vehicle is, so it must be the first to switch to dipped headlights. The beam of the vehicle on the outside shines less on the other one, although it must also switch in time.
