Show answer
Correct answer
- ASi tiene dudas, encienda las luces de cruce.If in doubt, switch on the dipped headlights.
Explanation
When in doubt, the safest option is to switch on the dipped headlights: they let you see and, above all, be seen by others without dazzling them. Switching the lights off is never a good option when visibility is doubtful, and main beam can dazzle other drivers.
