Show answer

Correct answer

  • BAlumbrado de corto alcance.Dipped headlights.
Explanation

In a built-up area, if the road is poorly lit, at night you must have dipped headlights on as well as the position lights (Article 101 of the General Traffic Regulations). Main beam is only used outside built-up areas, and position lights alone are not enough.
