Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo we see the front of a tram with its headlights switched on. When driving a tram, you are allowed to use main beam (high beam) on an unlit road if you do not dazzle other drivers - the answer is YES.
From dusk to dawn on unlit roads, a driver may use main beam instead of dipped headlights (low beam) or together with them, as long as they do not dazzle other drivers or pedestrians walking in a column. This also applies to a tram. When a vehicle is coming from the opposite direction or you are driving behind another vehicle, you switch to dipped headlights. You also switch from main beam to dipped headlights when you could dazzle the driver of another tram.
