Correct answer
- BLuces de cruce (luces cortas).Dipped headlights.
According to Article 101 of the General Traffic Regulations, in urban areas and when the lighting is poor, dipped headlights must be used. This is especially important when you cannot read a number plate at less than 10 metres, as this shows poor visibility. Using dipped headlights helps avoid dazzling other drivers, which is essential for road safety.
