Show answer
Correct answer
- BEl alumbrado de posición con el de corto alcance.The sidelights with dipped headlights.
Explanation
On an urban road, whether sufficiently or insufficiently lit, we will always use the sidelights together with dipped headlights. Main beam is prohibited in built-up areas because we could dazzle other road users whom we may not see.
