Correct answer

  • BTendremos que utilizar la luz de corto alcance.We must use dipped headlights.
Explanation

If we are driving in the lane next to the one opened in the opposite direction to normal, we must have at least dipped headlights on, both by day and by night. We would have to drive at a maximum of 80 km/h only if there were just one lane in our direction.
