Show answer
Correct answer
- AEn vías interurbanas con poca iluminación.On poorly lit roads outside built-up areas.
Explanation
Under Article 100 of the General Traffic Regulations, main beam is compulsory between sunset and sunrise outside built-up areas, on roads that are not lit well enough, at more than 40 km/h, and in poorly lit tunnels, unless it could dazzle others. In built-up areas you use dipped headlights.
