Question 5327

When driving at night at more than 40 km/h on an insufficiently lit conventional road (carretera convencional), as a general rule, which lights must you have on?

  1. High-beam headlights.
  2. Position lights and the front fog light.
  3. Low-beam headlights.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: High-beam headlights.

On a road without streetlights, at night and above 40 km/h, the general rule is to use high beams, always with position lights. You must switch to low beams whenever you could blind anyone. Front fog lights do not replace high beams. In the image, your headlights illuminate the empty road far ahead.
