Is it permitted to use high beam (main beam) headlights when driving on urban roads?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is No, it is prohibited. According to General Traffic Regulations, the use of high beam (main beam) headlights is strictly reserved for roads outside built-up areas. Within built-up areas (urban roads and traverses), their use is forbidden regardless of speed or if the road is insufficiently lit, due to the high risk of blinding pedestrians and other drivers. In these cases, you must mandatory drive with low beam (dipped) headlights.
