The drivers of motor vehicles and agricultural or forestry tractors are obliged to use also during the day 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 day, not during the night. To better understand this rule we give the following example:

A driver of an agricultural or forestry tractor who drives during the day, in normal conditions, is obliged to activate either the dipped-beam headlights (that is, the low beam), or the daytime running lights (DRL), as he considers, or he can even use both at the same time. However, if he drives during the night, regardless of whether the road is or is not lighted, the option of choosing to activate the daytime running lights (DRL) instead of the dipped-beam headlights (low beam) is NO longer valid and he is obliged to use the dipped-beam headlights (low beam) or the main-beam headlights (high beam), depending on the degree of lighting of the public road on which he drives.

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