Article 102 Glare

by Mark Nolan

1. Long-range or full beam lighting must be replaced by short-range or normal headlights as soon as the possibility of producing glare for other users of the same route or of any other means of communication is detected, and especially to the drivers of vehicles travelling in the opposite direction and even if they do not comply with this requirement, and the road lighting will not be restored until the position of the vehicle has passed.

2. The same precaution will be observed with respect to vehicles that drive in the same direction and whose drivers can be dazzled through the rear-view mirror.

 

Remember to disconnect full beam when traffic comes towards you or when you have vehicles ahead and do not activate it again until you are sure that you will not dazzle anyone.        

 

3. In case of you being a driver who suffers glare, you will reduce speed as necessary, even coming to a total stop, to avoid reaching other vehicles or pedestrians that are moving in the same direction.

 

Infringements of the rules of these requirements will be considered a serious matter as foreseen in article 65.4.e) of the articulated text.
