What risks could arise if you drive with your main beam lights on?

Driving with your main beam lights on can cause two main risks. First, you may dazzle oncoming road users, which can impair their vision and increase the risk of accidents. Second, wild animals caught in the strong beam may become confused or frightened, causing them to freeze and remain in the light, which can lead to potential collisions. Recognizing these two risks helps ensure you use your main beams only when appropriate, for example, on unlit roads without oncoming traffic, and always switch to dipped headlights when another vehicle approaches. Your selections are correct according to the German traffic rules.
