During night driving, which lights must be used to overtake another vehicle?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is low beam headlights (dipped headlights). According to traffic regulations, when overtaking at night, you must avoid dazzling the driver ahead of you (through their rear-view mirrors) as well as oncoming traffic. Therefore, using high beam (main beam) headlights is prohibited if there is a risk of dazzling. You must keep your low beams on until you are level with the other vehicle or have passed it, at which point you may switch back to high beams if driving on an interurban road and conditions allow.
