Passing target: 80% (40/50)
You are using your high beams on a dark rural road. An oncoming car appears ahead, and its driver has not dimmed their lights. What should you do?
A and an oncoming car B meet on a dark two-lane road. Both cars have broad high-beam light pools, and B has not dimmed its lights.
Correct answer: Switch to low beams and look toward the right edge of your lane until the car has passed.
Why
High-beam glare can leave a driver unable to see for three to five seconds; at 50 mph, the car covers about a football field in that time. Use high beams only on open roads with no traffic in sight, and use low beams when you follow another vehicle. Looking at the right edge of your lane keeps your car on course without staring into the glare.
