Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

If, due to an irreparable breakdown during the trip, the vehicle must be driven with lighting of lower intensity than normal, the fundamental safety rule is visibility. The driver must reduce speed to adjust it to their field of vision, ensuring that the vehicle can be stopped within the zone illuminated by the remaining lights. Continuing at normal speed would be dangerous because the braking distance could exceed the visibility distance.
