At night on a sufficiently lit dual carriageway, which lights must you use?
Lighting
Explanation
To drive at night on a **sufficiently illuminated dual carriageway**, it is necessary to use the **position light and the dipped beam**. This is because illuminated dual carriageways do not require the use of main beam headlights, as these are designed for roads with little lighting, such as those outside towns or cities.
- The **dipped beam** or passing light is suitable for situations where there is sufficient lighting, such as on well-lit dual carriageways, as it provides the necessary visibility without dazzling other drivers.
- The **main beam** is used on poorly lit roads or outside urban areas, and it is not necessary on well-lit dual carriageways because it could dazzle other drivers.
Therefore, on a sufficiently illuminated dual carriageway, the combination of **position light and dipped beam** is the correct option to ensure safe driving and avoid dazzling other drivers.
