Question 787

May a driver traveling on a road outside a built-up area in heavy rain or dust that severely reduces visibility use high-beam headlights?

  1. Only at night.
  2. Yes, but only at sunset.
  3. Yes, provided low-beam headlights are not required.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, provided low-beam headlights are not required.

Heavy rain or dust that severely reduces visibility allows the use of high-beam headlights. They must be switched to low beams when necessary, for example, to avoid dazzling others.
