Correct answer
- BNo, está prohibidoNo, it is prohibited
Explanation
In built-up areas you must use dipped headlights, even when the road is poorly lit, under Article 101 of the General Traffic Regulations; main beam is for roads outside built-up areas, and in town it may only be used as short flashes to warn other road users.
