It is still daytime, but the sun has already set. Which lights must you switch on?
Lighting
Explanation
When the sun has set but it is still daytime, it is important to turn on the **low beam or dipped headlights**. These lights are mandatory at night on all types of roads, both inside and outside towns and cities. Even though there may still be some natural light, visibility can be insufficient, and the dipped headlights help to see better and to be seen by other drivers.
The **position lights** are not sufficient when the vehicle is in motion, as they must always be accompanied by another type of light. They are used alone only when the car is stationary, for example, due to a breakdown on a poorly lit road.
Therefore, in situations of low natural light, such as when the sun has already set, it is necessary to turn on the low beam headlights to ensure road safety.
