When driving a tram, are you allowed to use the high beam lights on an unlit road if you do not blind other drivers?

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

The rules for using a vehicle's external lighting are the same for all drivers, including tram drivers. On an unlit road, in conditions of insufficient visibility, the driver is required to use main beam headlights. However, they must be switched to dipped beam headlights if they could dazzle other drivers, which is the key condition stated in the question.
