Correct answer
- BSí, pero se recomienda usar las luces de cruce.Yes, but it is recommended to use dipped headlights.
During the day, in dense fog or heavy rain, main beam is allowed, but it is advisable to use dipped headlights as well, to improve visibility and avoid dazzling other drivers. The rules say that in reduced visibility, using lights (including main beam) is compulsory for road safety. So the correct answer is that you may drive with main beam on, but it is recommended to switch on dipped headlights.
