If you are dazzled by the lights of another vehicle while driving, how should you act to maintain safety?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is to reduce speed, coming to a stop if necessary. Glare causes temporary blindness that prevents seeing the road and obstacles. According to regulations and safety standards, the driver must: 1) Maintain their trajectory. 2) Reduce speed progressively (avoiding sudden braking that might surprise the driver behind). 3) If visibility is zero, stop the vehicle in their lane or a safe zone to avoid collisions or running over pedestrians. Increasing speed is reckless given the lack of vision, and flashing lights back only creates more danger.
