|
|
Sound your horn.

Explanation
If a driver approaching you fails to dim their headlights, you may flash your high beams to let them know. If they still don't dim the lights, look toward the right side of the road. This will keep you from being “blinded” by the other vehicle’s headlights, and will allow you to see well enough to stay on course until the other vehicle has passed.
When driving at night, always use low beam headlights as soon as you see another vehicle approaching.
