Safe drivingQuestion 243 of 312

An oncoming driver does not dim the high beams, and the glare blinds you. What should you do?

  1. Slow down and look at the right edge of the road
  2. Look straight at the lights
  3. Flash your high beams and speed up
  4. Close one eye and keep your speed
Show answer

Correct answer: Slow down and look at the right edge of the road

Looking at the right edge keeps you out of the glare. Slowing down gives you time if you cannot see.
