Questions Learners Have About Night Lighting Rules

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Night Lighting Rules, including how questions match the official theory exam in Spain, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

When is it mandatory to use vehicle lights in Spain?

In Spain, it is mandatory to use appropriate vehicle lights between sunset (ocaso) and sunrise (salida del sol), and at any time of day in tunnels, underpasses, or when visibility is significantly reduced due to adverse weather conditions.

What is the difference between 'Luz de Cruce' and 'Luz de Carretera'?

'Luz de Cruce' (low beams) illuminates the road without dazzling other drivers and is used in urban areas or well-lit interurban roads. 'Luz de Carretera' (high beams) provides maximum illumination for poorly lit interurban roads at speeds over 40 km/h, but must be switched off to avoid dazzling others.

How do I know if a road is 'insufficiently illuminated'?

A road is considered 'insufficiently illuminated' when you cannot read a vehicle's license plate from 10 meters away, or distinguish a dark vehicle from 50 meters away.

What is 'deslumbramiento' and how do I prevent it?

'Deslumbramiento' is dazzling or blinding other road users with your lights. To prevent it, you must switch from 'Luz de Carretera' to 'Luz de Cruce' as soon as there's a possibility of dazzling, whether to oncoming traffic, or to vehicles ahead via their rearview mirrors.

Can I use 'Luz de Carretera' when following another vehicle?

No, you must switch to 'Luz de Cruce' when following another vehicle if there is a possibility of dazzling its driver through their rearview mirrors. High beams should only be used when there is no risk of dazzling any other road user.
