Show answer

Correct answer

  • ALuces de posición y luces cortas.Sidelights and dipped headlights.
Explanation

At night, on a sufficiently lit urban road, you must have your sidelights and dipped headlights on (Articles 99.1 and 101.1 of the General Traffic Regulations). Main beam is intended for interurban roads that are not well enough lit, not for a well-lit street.
