Correct answer
- ASí, si no deslumbramos a los demás usuarios.Yes, if we do not dazzle other road users.
Explanation
The ban in Article 100 of the General Traffic Regulations refers to a vehicle that is stopped or parked. When you are held up by traffic, for example at traffic lights on an unlit road, you may keep main beam on if it does not dazzle anyone.
