Question 8 of 802

From what distance from the vehicle that is moving from the opposite direction, at night, are you obliged to use the dipped-beam headlights?

A from at least 100 m;
B from at least 150 m;
C from at least 200 m.

Explanation

We must make the difference between the following two situations that we encounter in the questions in the tests:

  • at night, when approaching another vehicle that is moving from the opposite direction, you have the obligation that from the distance of at least 200 meters from it to use the dipped-beam headlights, concurrently with the reduction of the driving speed.
  • at night, when approaching another motor vehicle that is moving in front of you, in the same direction, you have the obligation that from the distance of at least 100 meters from it to use the dipped-beam headlights, without the reduction of the driving speed being also mandatory.

In the case of this question, considering that it is about a vehicle that is moving from the opposite direction, at night, you have the obligation that from the distance of at least 200 meters from it to use the dipped-beam headlights, concurrently with the reduction of the driving speed.
In the situation in which at that moment you are moving with the main-beam headlights on, you must switch them to the dipped-beam headlights, in order not to disturb those in front, concurrently with the reduction of the driving speed.
In the situation in which at that moment you are moving having on, instead of the dipped-beam headlights, the daytime running lights (DRL), you must switch on the dipped-beam headlights, concurrently with the reduction of the driving speed.

The correct answer is: C
