Are you obliged in this situation to use the low beam lights or daytime running lights?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving on a sunny day along an avenue between trees, with good visibility. Even then the car must have its lights on: in normal visibility you use dipped headlights, and during the day you may replace them with daytime running lights. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act requires you to use dipped headlights when driving in conditions of normal visibility, and from dawn to dusk it allows you to use daytime running lights instead. This duty applies all year round and at all times of day and night. The lights are not for you here, but for others: a car with its lights on can be seen from far away against the trees and shadows, so you simply switch them on every time you start the engine.
Legal basis: Art. 51 para. 1 and 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
