Question 7523

On insufficiently lit roads outside built-up areas, when is the use of high-beam headlights prohibited?

  1. When driving through an underpass.
  2. When the vehicle has its low-beam headlights on.
  3. When the vehicle is stopped.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the vehicle is stopped.

If your vehicle is stopped or parked, you must not use high beams, even if the road is dark. While driving, you may use them together with low beams, and they may be required in a poorly lit underpass. When driving, you must switch to low beams whenever you could blind someone.
