Explanation
The glare from oncoming headlights can be a serious problem when driving at night. It causes your pupils to contract, and after the vehicle passes, it takes time for your eyes to readjust to the darker conditions - this is known as glare recovery time. During this time, you are effectively driving blind. To reduce the effects of glare, avoid staring directly at oncoming headlights. Instead, look toward the right edge of the road and use quick glances to monitor the position of the oncoming vehicle. Also, keep your windshield clean-smudges, streaks, and grime can reflect light and increase glare, making it harder to see clearly at night.
