What would you do when driving at night and you are dazzled )blinded) by a vehicle approaching from your opposite direction?
- Correct answer: Slow down, keep to the right and look at the yellow line or at the right edge of the road.
- Honk strongly to alert the other driver that he is blinding you.
- Stop on the right of the road and turn on the parking lights until the blinding vehicle passes.
- Turn on the high beam to improve your field of vision.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down, keep to the right and look at the yellow line or at the right edge of the road.
Glare from oncoming headlights blinds you for a few seconds, so you slow down to gain time to react and keep to the right to stay away from the oncoming vehicle. Looking away from the lights toward the yellow line or the right edge of the road keeps you on course. Switching on the high beam would dazzle the other driver too and make the situation more dangerous.
