Show answer

Correct answer

  • CPosición y cruce.Sidelights and dipped headlights.
Explanation

At night in a built-up area you drive with the sidelights and dipped headlights, whether the road is sufficiently lit or not. Main beam is only used outside built-up areas, on insufficiently lit roads and at more than 40 km/h; in town it would dazzle others.
