Under what circumstances is it mandatory to use dipped beam or low beam headlights between sunset and sunrise?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations stipulate that all motor vehicles and mopeds must have their dipped beam (low beam) headlights switched on between sunset and sunrise when driving on sufficiently lit urban or interurban roads. The key here is the lighting: since there is enough ambient light, we do not need high beams (main beams) to see, and dipped beams serve to make the vehicle visible without dazzling others. The other options are incorrect because on unlit highways (insufficiently lit), high beams are generally used (unless dazzling occurs), and the number of lanes alone does not determine the type of light required.
