Explanation

The drivers of motor vehicles and agricultural or forestry tractors are obliged to use also during the day the dipped beam (low beam) or the daytime running lights “DRL”, when they drive on public roads. This obligation will be respected regardless of the category of the public road on which they drive.

We draw attention that this rule is valid only during the day, not during the night. To better understand this rule we give the following example:

A driver of a motor vehicle who drives during the day, in normal conditions, is obliged to put into operation either the dipped beam (meaning the low beam), or the daytime running lights (DRL), as he considers, or he can even use both at the same time. But if he drives during the night, regardless if the road is or is not lit, the option to choose to put into operation the daytime running lights (DRL) instead of the dipped beam (low beam) is NO longer valid and he is obliged to use the dipped beam (low beam) or the driving lights (high beam), depending on the degree of lighting of the public road on which he drives.

More information about the obligation to drive also during the day with the dipped beam or with the daytime running lights in operation can be found here - The obligation to use the dipped beam (low beam) or the DRL lights during the day.

The correct answer is: B
