Correct answer

  • AVías interurbanas insuficientemente iluminadas.insufficiently lit roads outside built-up areas.
Explanation

Main beam, also called high beam, is designed for use on roads outside built-up areas that are not sufficiently lit. This is because on these roads there is less traffic and visibility may be limited, so it is important to see and be seen. Using main beam in these conditions improves safety by giving a better view of the road and of other vehicles.
