If a car approaches you with bright headlights, you must __________, to prevent being temporarily blinded.

• A. Look toward the right edge of the road
• B. Dim your dashboard lights
• C. Move to the right edge of the road and stop
• D. Increase your speed

Answer: (A)

When bright headlights dazzle you, your vision can be temporarily blocked. The best immediate response is to look toward the right edge of the road. This redirects your gaze away from the glare and uses your peripheral vision to monitor lane position, helping your eyes recover faster and you maintain control of the vehicle.

Other options don’t address the glare as effectively: dimming the dashboard lights doesn’t reduce the impact of the incoming lights on your eyes; stopping in the middle of traffic is unsafe unless you’re in an emergency; and increasing speed makes it harder to react to hazards.
