Question 411 of 554

In which of the situations is the driver of motor vehicles obliged, at night, to change the main beam to the dipped beam?

A when the road is unlit;
B when driving in the urban area, on a road with multiple lanes per direction;
C in the situation in which from the opposite direction a motor vehicle approaches, from a distance of at least 200 m.

Explanation

For answer  A 

The road traffic legislation does not provide that when, at night, the road is unlit you change the main beam (high beam) to the dipped beam (low beam).


For answer  B 

The road traffic legislation does not provide that when you drive at night in the urban area, on a road with multiple lanes per direction, you change the main beam (high beam) to the dipped beam (low beam)


For answer  C 

At night, when approaching another vehicle moving from the opposite direction, you are obliged that from the distance of at least 200 meters to use the dipped headlights (low beam), simultaneously with reducing the speed. Thus, if you have in operation the main beam (high beam), you have the obligation to change it to the dipped beam (low beam).


The correct answer is: C
