How should the asymmetric low-beam lights in a truck illuminate the road?

How should the asymmetric low-beam lights in a truck illuminate the road?
Explanation

Correct answer: For a distance higher on the right than on the left.

The principle of asymmetrical dipped headlights is to better illuminate the roadside, which, for right-hand traffic as is mandatory in Poland, means the right-hand side of the carriageway. Therefore, the right-hand headlamp illuminates the road over a greater distance, allowing pedestrians or obstacles to be seen. At the same time, the left-hand headlamp has a shorter range to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers.
