Is it permitted to make simultaneous use of high beam (main beam) and low beam (dipped beam) headlights?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, the regulations allow both sets of lights to operate at the same time. The General Traffic Regulations state that it is lawful to use high and low beams simultaneously, provided that rules regarding dazzling other road users are respected (switching to low beams when necessary). Technically, this improves near perimeter vision (thanks to low beams) while illuminating the distance (with high beams). Remember that they must be accompanied by the position lights and the license plate illumination.
