Question 2641

If you are driving at night on an insufficiently lit road at more than 40 kilometers per hour, are you required to have your vehicle's high-beam headlights on?

  1. Outside built-up areas, yes; inside built-up areas, no.
  2. Yes, both outside and inside built-up areas, provided you are not required to use low-beam headlights.
  3. Yes, but only on road sections through built-up areas and roads outside built-up areas.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Outside built-up areas, yes; inside built-up areas, no.

Under those conditions, use high beams outside built-up areas unless you need to switch to low beams to avoid blinding others. In built-up areas, high beams are not used to illuminate the road.
