What do you do if a vehicle approaches you with bright headlights?

  1. Look straight ahead

  2. Look to the left side of the road

  3. Look to the lower right side of your lane

  4. Close your eyes briefly

The correct answer is: Look to the lower right side of your lane

When a vehicle approaches with bright headlights, looking to the lower right side of your lane is the best response. This tactic helps to minimize the impact of the glaring lights on your visibility. The bright headlights can cause temporary blindness or distraction, which makes it challenging to see the road properly. By directing your gaze toward the lower right side, you avoid direct exposure to the lights, maintaining better control of your vehicle and your situational awareness. This technique also allows you to keep an eye on the road and any obstacles or lane markings, helping you to stay safe as the other vehicle passes. It is important to remain focused and avoid looking directly at the bright glare, which could compromise your reaction time and driving safety.
