Correct answer
- CSí, aunque no es recomendable porque puede deslumbrar.Yes, although it is not advisable because it can dazzle.
Explanation
Drivers generally think that main beam lights up the road very well and dipped headlights only a short distance. If we switch on main beam in fog, it will only light up the fog and our vision will not improve; it may even dazzle us. That is why it is advisable to switch on dipped headlights or the appropriate fog light.
