Explanation

For answer  A 

​The drivers of vehicles are obliged to use the low‑beam or high‑beam lights on poorly lit traffic arteries, when visibility is reduced, while driving, both in the urban area and outside it.


For answer  B 

In the case of waiting at night on the carriageway of national roads the position or waiting lights will be used, not the low‑beam or high‑beam lights as specified in the question. And in the case of parking the vehicle in specially designated places, but unlit, using any lights is not mandatory, not even the position or waiting lights.


For answer  C 

The drivers of motor vehicles and agricultural or forestry tractors are obliged to use the low‑beam lights (short beam) or the daytime running lights “DRL” also during the day, when they drive on public roads. This obligation will be respected regardless of the category of public road on which they drive and regardless of whether traffic is or is not overcrowded.

You can find more information about the obligation to drive also during the day with the low‑beam lights or the daytime running lights on here - The obligation to use the low‑beam lights (short beam) or the DRL lights during the day.
