Question 1564 in the bank

What are you required to do when during a night drive you are confronted with a vehicle that doesn’t dip its lights and blinds you?

  1. Correct answer: Slow down and keep as much as possible to the right.
  2. Turn on the high beam to overcome the blinding effect of the other vehicle.
  3. Drive faster to shorten the duration of being blinded.
  4. Keep driving with a low beam at your current course and speed

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down and keep as much as possible to the right.

Dazzling causes momentary blindness, so slow down to have time to stop if an obstacle appears on the road, and keep to the right to move away from the vehicle coming toward you. It is important not to look into the lights. Turning on the high beam would also dazzle the other driver and increase the danger, and speeding up shortens the time you have to react and lengthens the stopping distance.
