Explanation
If a vehicle using high beams comes toward you at night, it can be dazzling and make it challenging to see. To signal the other driver to dim their lights, flash your high beams quickly a few times. If they don't respond, avoid looking directly into their lights and focus on the right side of the road until the vehicle passes. This prevents you from being blinded by the headlights of the oncoming vehicle, allowing you to see well enough to stay on your course.
