If we are driving at night on a road with insufficient lighting at more than 40 km/h, are we required to have the high beam headlights on?
Lighting
Explanation
To drive at night on a **poorly lit road** at more than 40 km/h, it is important to know when to use **high beam headlights**. These lights are mandatory on **roads outside built-up areas** when there is little natural light. This is because, under these conditions, visibility is limited and high beam headlights help to better see the road.
- **Outside built-up areas**: It is mandatory to use high beam headlights when driving at more than 40 km/h on poorly lit roads. This improves visibility and safety while driving.
- **Inside built-up areas**: It is prohibited to use high beam headlights, as they can dazzle other drivers and pedestrians due to the greater street lighting.
Therefore, the correct answer is that high beam headlights should only be used on roads outside built-up areas, as they are prohibited inside built-up areas.
