On an insufficiently lit road, what lighting must the overtaken vehicle maintain provided it does not dazzle the overtaking driver?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The general rule states that on insufficiently lit roads outside built-up areas, the use of high beams (main beam) is mandatory. Although there is an obligation to switch to low beams (dipped headlights) when being overtaken if there is a risk of dazzling (via mirrors), if no such disturbance occurs, the driver must maintain the high beams to improve road visibility until the other vehicle completes the maneuver or there is a risk of dazzling.
