Correct answer

  • ASí, aunque puede encender la de largo alcance si no deslumbra a otros usuarios.Yes, although it may switch on main beam if it does not dazzle other road users.
Explanation

Main beam is only required outside built-up areas, on roads without enough lighting, when driving at more than 40 km/h. Below that speed dipped headlights are enough, and you may use main beam if it does not dazzle anyone.
