Correct answer
- ALas luces de cruce (luces cortas).Dipped headlights.
Under the General Traffic Regulations, specifically Article 41, when driving in a lane opened for the opposite direction to normal, it is compulsory to switch on dipped headlights both by day and at night. This rule is in force to ensure that vehicles travelling in the unusual direction can be seen and to increase road safety on roads where the flow of traffic is affected. So the correct answer to the question is 'dipped headlights'.
