Question 6002

On which roads must you use your high-beam headlights?

  1. On roads outside built-up areas that are insufficiently lit.
  2. On any type of road, whenever necessary.
  3. On urban roads, including road sections through built-up areas (travesías).
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: On roads outside built-up areas that are insufficiently lit.

High beams are for poorly lit roads outside built-up areas. At night, they are required on those roads above 40 km/h, unless you could blind anyone. In built-up areas, including road sections through them (travesías), you must not use high beams even if there are not enough streetlights, so they are not for every type of road. In the image, the road has no streetlights.
