You are driving at night on a busy downtown road. Which headlight operation is correct? (The area has not been specially designated by the provincial police commissioner.)
💡 Hint
When driving at night where traffic is heavy, there is a duty concerning the direction of your headlight beam (Article 20(2) of the Enforcement Decree). Think about how to reduce glare in a city where oncoming cars, cars ahead and pedestrians are always present, and whether bright streetlights let you turn off your headlights.
Answer: ④
Explanation
Under Enforcement Decree Article 20(2), when driving where traffic is heavy you must keep the headlight beams pointed downward at all times. In busy areas there are always oncoming cars, vehicles ahead and pedestrians, so high beams cause glare. Headlights are required at night even downtown, so driving with only the taillights is also wrong.
