Are you allowed to use high-beam lights in this situation?

Description

Art. 51 para. 3 of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, consolidated text with subsequent amendments)
Explanation

Correct answer: No

In the situation shown, using main beam headlights is prohibited for two reasons. Firstly, the road is illuminated by street lights. Secondly, other vehicles are approaching from the opposite direction. According to Art. 51 of the Road Traffic Act, switching on main beams in such conditions would dazzle other drivers, which is not permitted and is very dangerous.
