Glare is one of the topics in the Driving maneuvers block of the Spanish DGT theory. Overtaking, changes of direction, stopping, parking, lighting and warnings. Understanding this section well helps you answer the theory-exam questions on this topic with confidence.
In simple terms, this point of the DGT theory establishes that high beams must be switched to low beams as soon as there is a risk of glare affecting other road users, whether on the same road or another road nearby. This rule applies especially to drivers of oncoming vehicles, even if those drivers fail to comply with this requirement themselves.
Manoeuvres are tested with practical cases; remember the correct order: observe, signal and only then carry out the manoeuvre.
High beams must be switched to low beams as soon as there is a risk of glare affecting other road users, whether on the same road or another road nearby. This rule applies especially to drivers of oncoming vehicles, even if those drivers fail to comply with this requirement themselves. High beams must not be turned back on until the crossing vehicle has been completely passed.
