What may be the effect of wrong adjustment of low-beam lights?

Description

Annex 1 pt 4.1.2 p. 11979 of the Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure of 18 September 2009 on the scope and method of conducting tests (Journal of Laws No. 155, item 1232)

Explanation

Correct answer: Deterioration of road visibility at night.

Incorrectly adjusted dipped-beam headlights, especially those aimed too low, will insufficiently illuminate the road ahead of the vehicle. This shortens the driver's field of vision, which is particularly dangerous at night and in bad weather. The driver may notice an obstacle, a pedestrian, or a bend too late, making a safe reaction impossible.
