Show answer

Correct answer

  • CLa luz de cruce o de corto alcance.Dipped headlights.
Explanation

While driving behind the vehicle you are going to overtake, you must use dipped headlights so as not to dazzle its driver through the mirrors. You can switch on main beam when you are alongside it, if it does not dazzle anyone coming the other way.
