Question 5672

You are driving during the day in a lane that is open to traffic in the direction opposite to the usual one; what lights must you turn on?

  1. High beams.
  2. Low beams.
  3. Position lights only.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Low beams.

In a lane opened to traffic in the opposite direction from usual, you must keep at least your low beams on, even during the day. In the image, the blue passenger car approaching in that lane on the other side of the cones has them on. Position lights alone are not enough, and high beams could dazzle drivers traveling alongside you in the opposite direction.
