If a car coming toward you at night keeps its high beams on, what should you do?

• A. Look at the left edge of your lane
• B. Look at the car's headlights
• C. Look at the right edge of your lane or road
• D. Stare at the center line

Answer: (C)

When a car coming toward you at night uses high beams, glare can wash out your vision. The safest response is to shift your gaze to the right edge of your lane (the edge of the road or the white line) and use that as a stable guide. This avoids staring into the bright headlights, which can cause temporary blindness or afterimages, and helps you maintain your lane position. You can still keep awareness of hazards with your peripheral vision, but the edge provides a reliable reference point in bright glare. Avoid looking directly at the headlights or at the center of the road.
