    ¿Qué alumbrado usará para circular en una travesía insuficientemente iluminada?

    Which lights will you use to drive on a poorly lit travesía (stretch of road through a town)?

    • AAlumbrado de posición con el de corto alcance.Position lights with dipped headlights.
    • BAlumbrado de posición con el de largo alcance.Position lights with main beam.
    • CSolamente alumbrado de posición.Only position lights.

    When we drive on a road outside a built-up area where it passes through a town (a travesía is inside a built-up area), we use the position lights together with dipped headlights, whether it is well lit or poorly lit.

53. Nº 53

    Circulando con nuestra motocicleta un día de lluvia intensa, ¿qué alumbrado utilizaremos?

    When riding our motorcycle on a day of heavy rain, which lights should we use?

    Explanation

    The position light and the dipped headlight are necessary in heavy rain to make the vehicle more visible and warn other road users that we are there. It is important to use at least these lights to reduce the risk of accidents.

54. Nº 54

    La regulación, el funcionamiento y el estado del sistema de alumbrado, ¿hay que revisarlos con frecuencia?

    Should the adjustment, operation and condition of the lighting system be checked often?

    • ANo, con una vez cada dos o tres años es suficiente.No, once every two or three years is enough.
    • BSí.Yes.
    • CNo, sólo es necesario cambiar las bombillas cuando estén fundidas.No, you only need to change the bulbs when they have blown.
    Explanation

    Lights are very important to see and be seen. Each light must shine in a particular way; for example, dipped headlights must light a sufficient distance without dazzling other road users. If they are not properly adjusted, they could dazzle others, or we might not see far enough. That is why we must check the lights often.

55. Nº 55

    ¿Las señales acústicas se pueden usar?

    Can the horn be used?

    • ANo ,en ningún caso.No, never.

    • CLas luces de cruce y, en caso de disponer de ellas, las luces antiniebla delanteras.Dipped headlights and, if fitted, the front fog lights.
    Explanation

    In reduced visibility, such as fog, heavy rain, snowfall or smoke or dust, it is compulsory to use the appropriate lights. In these cases you must use dipped headlights and, depending on the conditions, the front fog light, as long as the vehicle has one, as fitting it is not compulsory. This light can be used alone or together with dipped headlights or main beam, depending on the situation. The rear fog light, for its part, must only be used when conditions are especially unfavourable, such as thick fog, very heavy rain, heavy snowfall or dense clouds of dust or smoke, because using it wrongly can dazzle other road users.

60. Nº 60

    ¿Hay que revisar con frecuencia el ajuste, el funcionamiento y el estado del sistema de alumbrado?

    Should the adjustment, working order and condition of the lighting system be checked often?

    • BSí.Yes.
    • CNo, sólo hay que cambiar las bombillas cuando se funden.No, you only need to change the bulbs when they blow.
    Explanation

    It is advisable to check often that all the lights work, are clean and are properly adjusted: a blown bulb or a badly aimed headlight reduces visibility, may dazzle others and means other road users do not notice what we are doing. It is not enough to change bulbs when they blow.

61. Nº 61

    When visibility is reduced by heavy rain, main beam...

    • AEs obligatorio utilizarlo.is compulsory.
    • BEstá prohibido utilizarlo.is prohibited.
    • CNo suele ser el más adecuado.is not usually the most suitable.
    Explanation

    In heavy rain you must switch on your lights, but main beam is not usually the most suitable: it reflects off the raindrops and dazzles the driver. It is usually better to use dipped headlights or the front fog light. It is neither prohibited nor compulsory.

66. Nº 66

    ¿Está permitido usar las luces largas al circular por una travesía?

    Are you allowed to use main beam when driving through a travesía (stretch of road through a town)?

    • BCorto alcance o posición.Dipped headlights or position lights.
    • CPosición.Position lights.
    Explanation

    In fog that is not thick, we use at least dipped headlights. If we have a front fog light, we may use it if we choose.

69. Nº 69

    En una vía interurbana insuficientemente iluminada circula un turismo a 40 kilómetros por hora, ¿está permitido que use las luces de corto alcance?

    • CTanto la de ver como la de ser visto por los demás usuarios de la vía.Both to see and to be seen by other road users.
    Explanation

    Lights have a double purpose: they let the driver see the road and its obstacles, and they make the vehicle visible to other road users. That is why position lights or dipped headlights are also switched on in situations where you can see well, such as in tunnels or in rain.

71. Nº 71

    • Ccuando se circule por carriles para VAO.when driving in HOV (VAO) lanes.
    Explanation

    During the day you must have the appropriate lights on in tunnels, underpasses and stretches covered by the “Tunnel” sign (Article 98.1 of the General Traffic Regulations). It is not enough to switch them on only when visibility is poor, and HOV (VAO) lanes do not require it on their own.

78. Nº 78

    ¿Se debe revisar periódicamente el sistema de alumbrado del vehículo como parte del mantenimiento preventivo?

    Should the vehicle's lighting system be checked regularly as part of preventive maintenance?

    Explanation

    Regular checking of the vehicle's lighting system is an important part of preventive maintenance. It includes checking that the headlights, indicators, brake lights and fog lights work. Incorrectly adjusted headlights can dazzle other drivers or light the road poorly, especially at night. In Spain, drivers are advised to check the condition of their lights regularly and adjust them if necessary.

    Explanation

    Active safety systems help the driver reduce the chance of an accident happening. They include, for example, the lights, tyres, brakes, suspension and steering. Passive safety systems, on the other hand, aim to reduce injuries to a minimum once an accident has happened. They include, for example, the chassis and body, seat belts, airbags, the head restraint and the helmet.

82. Nº 82
