The drivers of motor vehicles and agricultural or forestry tractors are obliged to also use during the daytime the dipped-beam headlights (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 daytime, not during the night. To better understand this rule we give the following example:
A driver of a motor vehicle who drives during the daytime, in normal conditions, is obliged to put into operation either the dipped-beam headlights (that is the low beam), or the daytime running lights (DRL), as he considers, or he can even use them both at the same time. But if he drives during the night, regardless of whether the road is illuminated or not, the option to choose to put into operation the daytime running lights (DRL) instead of the dipped-beam headlights (low beam) is NO longer valid and he is obliged to use the dipped-beam headlights (low beam) or the main-beam headlights (high beam), depending on the degree of illumination of the public road on which he drives.
More information about the obligation to drive also during the daytime with the dipped-beam headlights or with the daytime running lights in operation can be found here - The obligation to use the dipped-beam headlights (low beam) or the DRL lights during the daytime.
