According to general regulations, under what circumstances is it mandatory to switch on the high beam (long-range) headlights?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is based on visibility regulations: every vehicle equipped with high beam headlights must strictly use them when driving at speeds over 40 km/h, outside built-up areas (interurban roads), on insufficiently lit roads. A road is considered insufficiently lit when a license plate cannot be read at 10 meters or a dark vehicle cannot be distinguished at 50 meters. The other options are incorrect because: 'Whenever desired': False, as high beams are prohibited inside built-up areas (urban) or whenever they might dazzle other road users. 'Only on motorways': False, the rule applies to any road outside built-up areas that meets the lighting and speed conditions.
