For answer  A 

The road legislation does not limit the use of the high beams only outside built-up areas. The statement is wrong because it does not take into account the situations in which within built-up areas the road may be insufficiently lit, and the high beams may be used. Therefore, answer A cannot be correct.

For answer  B 

The road legislation provides that the high beams (also known as “long beam”) are used both in the urban area and outside it, depending on the degree of lighting of the public road. This means that the use of the long beam is not limited by the area in which you drive (in or outside built-up areas), but depends exclusively on the concrete visibility conditions. Therefore, if the road is not sufficiently lit, the driver must use the high beams (long beam), regardless of whether they are in the urban area or outside it. However, the driver must also respect the other rules regarding the use of the lighting system, which are detailed in the Audio-Video lesson in “Step 1” on Școala Rutieră --> Road Code - The technical condition of vehicles and the lighting and light signalling system.

For answer  C 

The road legislation does not provide for the use of the high beams (long beam) during the day, because they do not bring a real visibility benefit for the driver, since natural light is sufficient. Moreover, the use of the long beam during the day may disturb and negatively affect the other traffic participants, without increasing safety. In addition, during the day, on all categories of public roads, the legislation provides the use of the low beam or the daytime running lights, not of the high beam (long beam).

The correct answer is: B
