Headlights, high beams and fog lights

Driving without required lights and dazzling another driver with high beams are different allegations. Dipped headlights also matter by day for motorcycles and mopeds.

Give the time, weather and lights in use. If a fault arose while driving, record how it was detected and when it was repaired.

Documents for your defence
