In this situation, can you use high-beam lights?

Description

Art. 51 para. 3 pt. 2 of the Road Traffic Act
Explanation

Correct answer: No

In the visible situation, another vehicle is driving directly ahead of you, and its rear lights are clearly visible. According to Art. 51 para. 3 pt. 2 of the Road Traffic Act, a driver may use high-beam headlights only if they do not dazzle other drivers. In this case, switching on high beams would dazzle the driver of the vehicle ahead through their rear-view mirrors, therefore it is prohibited.
