Explanation
When approaching oncoming traffic in the opposite lane, do not look directly into the vehicle’s headlights. Staring directly at oncoming headlights will impair your vision, making it difficult to see the road ahead. Instead, shift your gaze toward the right edge of your lane. By looking toward the right edge of your lane or the edge of the road, you reduce the intensity of the glare, allowing you to maintain better visibility.
