If the oncoming driver at night fails to use its low-beam headlights, you can attempt to reduce glare by...

• A. Stare at the oncoming vehicle.
• B. Frequently looking to the right side of the road.
• C. Turn on your high beams.
• D. Speed up.

Answer: (B)

When glare from an oncoming headlight makes night driving uncomfortable, the best move is to avoid looking directly at the bright lights. Instead, shift your gaze toward the right edge of your lane (the right-side road markings) and use your peripheral vision to monitor the road ahead. This keeps your eyes from being blinded by the headlights and gives you a stable reference point for lane position, helping you react safely if the other vehicle changes speed or position. Turning on high beams would make glare worse for you, staring at the lights is unsafe, and speeding up doesn’t address the glare problem. Keeping your eyes on the right edge and scanning the roadway maintains control even when the other driver isn’t using low beams.
