Explanation
Correct answer: When approaching a moving vehicle in front of you and there is a possibility of blinding the driver.
The driver is obliged to switch from main beam headlights to dipped beam headlights when approaching an oncoming vehicle or a vehicle ahead. In the case of a vehicle in front, main beam headlights can dazzle its driver through reflection in the mirrors, which is very dangerous. According to Art. 51 of the Road Traffic Act, you must also switch off main beam headlights when approaching a rail vehicle or a water vessel if there is a risk of dazzling.
