In Norwegian road safety and vehicle operation, at what point should a driver switch from high beams (fjernlys) to dipped beams (nærlys) when meeting oncoming traffic at night?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. As soon as oncoming headlights appear (200-300 m)

  1. Step 1: To prevent blinding oncoming road users, drivers must dim high beams as soon as light beams meet or when oncoming headlights emerge over a crest or curve. Answer: As soon as oncoming headlights appear (200-300 m). Why not the others: the alternative options do not accurately reflect vehicle safety standards, statutory requirements, or physical mechanics under Norwegian road regulations.
