Question 5366

In an insufficiently lit tunnel, what lights must you have on if you are driving at a speed of 80 km/h?

  1. High beams, provided you do not dazzle other road users.
  2. Position lights and high beams, but you must never use low beams.
  3. Position lights and low beams, but you must never use high beams.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: High beams, provided you do not dazzle other road users.

In a poorly lit tunnel outside a built-up area, above 40 km/h, you must use high beams with position lights. If you could blind anyone, such as an oncoming driver, you must switch to low beams. So neither type is ruled out.
