When driving a tram from dusk to down on an unlit road in a built-up area, are you allowed to use the high beam lights?
Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

According to the provisions of the Road Traffic Act, from dusk to dawn on unlit roads, a driver may use main-beam headlights. The fact that the situation occurs in a built-up area does not prohibit their use, if the road is not sufficiently lit. Under these conditions, the use of main-beam headlights is permitted to ensure adequate visibility, provided that other road users are not dazzled.
