Question 2576

When making a stop, are you allowed to leave the high-beam headlights on?

  2. No, because it is prohibited.
  3. Only if I stop on insufficiently lit roads.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, because it is prohibited.

The prohibition on using high beams also applies during a stop, even if you do not expect to blind other road users.
