Show answer
Correct answer
- BLuz de cruce o corto alcance.Dipped headlights.
A road is considered insufficiently lit when, with normal eyesight, at some point on its carriageway you cannot read a number plate at 10 metres or cannot make out a dark-painted vehicle at 50 metres. In built-up areas, whether the road is sufficiently or insufficiently lit, you must always use dipped headlights, because main beam is prohibited. To drive, you need the sidelights plus some other light.
