Is it prohibited during the day to give warning signal with the main beam headlights, if this may cause blinding to other drivers?

Description

Art. 29 para. 2 pt. 3 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes, this is prohibited. The regulations permit warning other drivers with main-beam headlights (so-called 'flashing'), but with the key condition that it will not dazzle other drivers. According to Art. 29 para. 3 of the Road Traffic Act, dazzling another driver is not permitted and is dangerous, regardless of the time of day.
