At night, what should you do to avoid dazzling other drivers?
Lighting
Explanation
To avoid dazzling other drivers at night, it is important to **switch from high beams to low beams** when approaching another vehicle on the road. High beams can be very bright and cause glare, which impairs the other driver's visibility.
- **Glare**: When a vehicle dazzles you, too much light enters your eyes, preventing you from seeing the road well. To avoid causing this problem to others, you should use dipped headlights (low beams) instead of full beam headlights (high beams) when approaching another vehicle from any direction.
- **Curves**: On a curve, the vehicle traveling on the inside should switch to low beams, as its lights directly illuminate the road and can dazzle the driver coming in the opposite direction.
- **Overtaking**: When overtaking at night, it is crucial to turn off the high beams and turn on the low beams to avoid dazzling the driver of the vehicle you are overtaking through their rearview mirrors.
By following these practices, road safety is improved by reducing the risk of dazzling other drivers.
