When may you use main beam headlights?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. On unlit roads when there is no oncoming traffic and no vehicle ahead
- Step 1: Main beam can dazzle. Step 2. Dip your lights for other traffic, including vehicles ahead whose mirrors would reflect them. Answer: On unlit roads when there is no oncoming traffic and no vehicle ahead. Why not the others: Lit roads and following traffic cause glare, and fog scatters main beam.
