Correct answer
- CSí, aunque no es recomendable porque pueden deslumbrar.Yes, although it is not recommended because it can dazzle.
The correct answer is that you may switch on main beam, although it is not recommended because it can dazzle. According to Article 106 of the General Traffic Regulations, main beam is allowed in reduced visibility, such as fog. However, you must be careful not to dazzle other drivers, so the fog light is considered more suitable in these conditions.
