Explanation
When you encounter an oncoming vehicle with bright headlights at night, avoid looking directly at the headlights, as this can temporarily blind you. Instead, look toward the right edge of the road to help guide your vehicle and stay in your lane. Keep the oncoming vehicle in your peripheral vision. Never retaliate by keeping your own high beams on - doing so can blind the other driver and increase the risk of a crash for both of you.
