How should a driver act if they realize they might dazzle other road users with high beam headlights?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic regulations state that high beam headlights (main beam) must be immediately switched to low beams (dipped beam) if there is a risk of dazzling others. This applies not only to oncoming traffic but also to vehicles driving in the same direction (to avoid dazzling them through their rear-view mirrors) and other road users. Turning off the lights would be dangerous as you would lose visibility, and switching on fog lights is only permitted under specific adverse weather conditions.
