If your vehicle's main beam headlights fail and you are forced to drive on an interurban road using the dipped beam headlights, what must you do?
Lighting
Explanation
To drive safely when the high beam lights fail and only the low beam lights are available, it is important to **adjust the vehicle's speed**.
- **Low beam lights**: These lights are mandatory at night on all types of roads, both inside and outside towns and cities. Their main function is to illuminate the road without dazzling other drivers. However, their range is limited.
- **Appropriate speed**: Since low beam lights illuminate only a limited part of the road, it is crucial to drive at a speed that allows the vehicle to stop within the illuminated area. This ensures that you can react in time to any obstacle or unexpected situation on the road.
- **Safety**: By adjusting the speed to stop within the illuminated area, the risk of accidents is minimized, especially in low visibility conditions.
Therefore, the correct option is to drive at a speed that allows the vehicle to stop within the area illuminated by the low beam lights.
