Correct answer
- CAlumbrado de corto o largo alcance si no hay riesgo de deslumbramiento.Dipped headlights or main beam, if there is no risk of dazzling.
Vehicles fitted with main beam must use it when travelling at more than 40 km/h: - Between sunset and sunrise, on insufficiently lit roads outside built-up areas. - At any time of day, in insufficiently lit tunnels, underpasses and stretches of road covered by the ‘tunnel’ sign. However, the following will use dipped headlights: - Vehicles that do not have main beam. - Vehicles using main beam that could dazzle other road users. At a speed of no more than 40 km/h, you may use dipped headlights or main beam. Main beam is prohibited when the vehicle is stopped or parked, or inside a built-up area.
