The use of low‑beam headlights during the day is mandatory for:
Although the road traffic legislation has been updated and at this moment it is mandatory that when travelling during the day on all categories of public roads, the low‑beam headlights (short beam) or the daytime running lights (DRL) must be used, the answer to this question remains still correct and in accordance with the legislation.
To better understand this rule we give the following example: A driver of a motor vehicle travels during the day under normal conditions, in which case he is obliged to put into operation either the low‑beam headlights (that is, the short beam), or the daytime running lights (DRL), as he considers, or he may even use both at the same time. But if he accompanies a military column or a cortege, the option to choose to put into operation the daytime running lights (DRL) instead of the low‑beam headlights (short beam) is NOT valid anymore because the road traffic legislation provides that in this case it is mandatory to use the low‑beam headlights (short beam), without leaving the option to use the daytime running lights (DRL) instead of the low‑beam headlights.
You can find more information about the obligation to travel also during the day with the low‑beam headlights or with the daytime running lights in operation here - The obligation to use low‑beam headlights (short beam) or DRL during the day.
