If a car approaches you with bright headlights, you must

• A. Look towards the right edge of the road
• B. Look toward the left edge of the road
• C. Keep eyes fixed ahead
• D. Flash your high beams back

Answer: (A)

When a car with bright headlights approaches, shift your gaze toward the right edge of the road. This reduces the glare hitting your eyes and gives you a steady reference point to keep your vehicle in its lane. Staring straight ahead or toward the oncoming headlights makes the glare harder to manage and can cause you to drift. Looking toward the left edge isn’t as helpful for staying in your lane, and flashing your high beams back is dangerous and illegal in many places, plus it doesn’t lessen your glare. Using the right edge as a guide helps you maintain control and respond safely.
