Correct answer

  • CLuces de cruce, tanto de día como de noche.Dipped headlights, both by day and at night.
Explanation

According to the General Traffic Regulations, especially Article 41, vehicles driving in lanes opened for traffic in the opposite direction to normal must have at least dipped headlights on, both by day and at night. The aim of this rule is to make the vehicle more visible and ensure the safety of all road users, as it helps other drivers notice vehicles travelling in a direction that is not the normal one.
