Correct answer
- ACuando conduce en cualquier vía pública.When riding on any public road.
A motorcycle must have its dipped headlight on during the day whenever it is on any public road. This is a compulsory safety measure that makes it more visible to other road users and so reduces the risk of accidents. Although lights are also needed in specific conditions such as tunnels or bad weather, using them is compulsory at all times during the day.
