On motorways and extra-urban roads, dipped headlights must be on even by day, or daytime running lights may be used instead.
Italian text
Nelle autostrade e strade extraurbane, è obbligatorio accendere i fari anabbaglianti anche di giorno o, in alternativa, le luci di marcia diurna
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: TRUE
During the day, dipped-beams are used on highways and out-of-town roads or, when permitted, daytime lights. Position lights alone are not enough. Headlight orientation and cleaning matter: a poorly adjusted beam can reduce visibility or dazzle other users.
True or false?
On an extra-urban road on a sunny day, switching on the position lights is sufficient.
