Use of lighting
Dipped headlights are mandatory from dusk to dawn and in poor visibility. Full beam may only be used outside built-up areas when there is no oncoming traffic — dip as soon as oncoming vehicles approach. Front fog lights are permitted when visibility is below 200 metres. The rear fog light may only be used when visibility is below 50 metres and must be switched off as soon as visibility improves to avoid dazzling following traffic.
