If you are dazzled by headlights of vehicles coming towards you at night, what should you do?

When dazzled by oncoming headlights at night, it is important to slow down or stop to ensure your safety and that of others on the road. Bright headlights can significantly impair your vision, making it difficult to see the road ahead, detect hazards, or judge the distance of vehicles. By slowing down, you give yourself more time to react to any potential dangers and allow your eyesight to recover from the temporary glare.

Stopping is a safe alternative if you find that continuing to drive would pose a risk, as it further minimizes any chance of an accident. The key is to maintain control of your vehicle and ensure a clear line of sight as the other vehicle passes.

Speeding up or changing lanes swiftly could lead to loss of control or collision, while ignoring the glare and continuing to drive puts you and others in danger. Therefore, reducing your speed is the most prudent action to take in this situation.
