Question 253 in the bank

Is it permitted to drive a motor vehicle on an urban road while its high-beam headlights are on?

  1. Yes.
  2. Correct answer: No, unless the road is not properly lit and provided that other drivers are not blinded.
  3. No.
  4. Only during day time.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: No, unless the road is not properly lit and provided that other drivers are not blinded.

An urban road usually has street lighting, so you drive with dipped headlights. High beams are allowed when the road is not properly lit and provided that there is no danger of blinding other drivers or pedestrians. The permission depends on the road's lighting and on the absence of glare, not on the time of day. When there is a danger of blinding others, switch to dipped headlights.
