Cevap

Slow down or stop safely, and look towards the left-hand verge of the road
According to the Highway Code, if you are dazzled by oncoming headlights, you must slow down or pull over and stop if you cannot see clearly. Diverting your gaze towards the left-hand pavement or verge helps maintain lane positioning while shielding your eyes from direct glare.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Assess the loss of visibility caused by oncoming full-beam headlights
Recognise that your forward sight distance is temporarily compromised by glare
Bright headlights can temporarily blind you and hide pedestrian or edge-of-road hazards
2
Reduce vehicle speed smoothly and avert your direct gaze towards the near kerb or left-hand verge
Maintained vehicle positioning and reduced stopping distance until vision recovers
Looking toward the left edge prevents direct pupil constriction from the oncoming beams while keeping you on course
