At night or in reduced visibility conditions, the drivers of motor vehicles, agricultural or forestry tractors and trams who approach an intersection not controlled by traffic lights or by a traffic police officer are obliged to signal by alternating the low‑beam lights with the high‑beam lights. But in the situation in which another vehicle travels from the opposite direction at a distance of less than 200 m, this type of signalling can no longer be performed, because in this way you dazzle with the light of the headlights the driver of the vehicle that is approaching.
It is prohibited the use of the high‑beam lights (long beam) when from the opposite direction a vehicle approaches at a distance less than 200 meters. Thus, when encountering vehicles that travel from the opposite direction or at the signalling of the driver of motor vehicles who has engaged in a dangerous overtaking, the repeated changing of the high‑beam light with the low‑beam light is prohibited.

(2) At night, when two vehicles approaching travel from opposite directions, the drivers are obliged that from a distance of at least 200 m to use the low‑beam lights together with the reduction of speed. When the driver of a motor vehicle, agricultural or forestry tractor approaches a vehicle that travels in front of him, he is obliged to use the low‑beam lights from a distance of at least 100 m.
(3) At night or in reduced visibility conditions the drivers of motor vehicles, agricultural or forestry tractors and trams who approach an intersection not controlled by traffic lights or by traffic police officers are obliged to signal by alternating the low‑beam lights with the high‑beam lights if they do not thus violate the provisions of paragraph (2).
