Show answer

Correct answer

  • CSí, el alumbrado de posición y el de cruce.Yes, the sidelights and dipped headlights.
Explanation

In a tunnel you must have lights on at any time. If it is sufficiently lit, you must have the sidelights and dipped headlights on; sidelights alone are not enough. Only in insufficiently lit tunnels may main beam be used when it does not dazzle.
