Correct answer
- AEl de largo alcance.Main beam.
When driving at night on an insufficiently lit road outside built-up areas at more than 40 km/h, you must use main beam (also called high beam). This light lets the driver see further along the road, which is essential to spot any obstacle or danger early enough and react in time. Main beam is especially important in these conditions, because visibility is reduced and reaction time is crucial at higher speeds. However, you must make sure you do not dazzle other road users; if there is a risk of dazzling, you must switch to dipped headlights.
