Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving at night and entering Warsaw - you pass the sign with the name of the town; the road is lit by street lamps, cars are coming from the opposite direction, and another car is driving in front of you. In this situation you are not allowed to drive with main beam switched on. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act allows you to use main beam only from dusk to dawn on unlit roads, and only when it will not dazzle other drivers; it also requires you to switch to dipped headlights when a vehicle is approaching from the opposite direction and when you are approaching a vehicle in front, if its driver could be dazzled. Here none of the conditions is met: the road has street lamps, and there are other cars ahead and coming towards you. You drive with dipped headlights.
Legal basis: Art. 51 para. 1 and 3 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
