If you are blinded by headlights, you should:

• A. Flash your high beams back
• B. Slow down and avoid looking directly into the lights of the approaching vehicle
• C. Speed up to pass quickly
• D. Pull over to the left

Answer: (B)

When you’re blinded by oncoming headlights, the priority is to protect your vision and regain focus quickly. The safest move is to slow down and avoid looking directly into the lights. Instead, shift your gaze toward the right edge of the roadway or the white line, while using your peripheral vision to monitor the approaching vehicle. Slowing down gives you more time to react and helps keep you in your lane as your eyes recover from the glare. Avoid actions like flashing high beams back, speeding up to pass, or steering toward the left; these only increase risk when visibility is compromised.
