Question 2123

If you are driving at a speed no greater than 40 km/h on an insufficiently lit road outside a built-up area, which lights must you use?

  1. Low-beam headlights are mandatory.
  2. High-beam headlights in all situations.
  3. Low-beam headlights, although you may use high-beam headlights if you do not blind other road users.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Low-beam headlights, although you may use high-beam headlights if you do not blind other road users.

At night and at a speed no greater than 40 km/h, you must use low beams if you are not using high beams. You may use high beams when permitted and when they do not blind others, but they are not mandatory at that speed.
