Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A. Do not look directly at the lights.

If dazzled by the lights of an oncoming vehicle, do not look directly at the oncoming lights. Instead glance towards the verge until the vehicle has passed and/or slow down and stop if necessary. This will avoid any temporary blindness caused by the brightness of the oncoming lights.
