Question 6051

On this road outside a built-up area, low beams must be used...

  1. always.
  2. when there is a possibility of blinding other road users.
  3. only when high beams are not available.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: when there is a possibility of blinding other road users.

The road in the image has no streetlights, so at night, above 40 km/h, you must use high beams. You must switch to low beams whenever you could blind anyone, such as an oncoming driver or the driver ahead. You also use low beams if your vehicle has no high beams, but that is not the only case.
