if an oncoming vehicle has their high beams on and does not dim them, you should:

a: flash your high beams repeatedly
b: look toward the right edge of your lane and slow down
c: stare directly at their lights to signal them
d: honk your horn continuously

Explanation:

Analyze the hazard of oncoming high beams

Looking directly into oncoming high beams can cause temporary blindness or glare, which severely compromises driving safety at night.

Evaluate the options

• Option A (Flash high beams repeatedly) can blind the other driver, creating a highly dangerous situation for both vehicles.
• Option B (Look toward the right edge of your lane and slow down) allows you to maintain visual guidance using the white line (fog line) while avoiding the direct glare of the oncoming lights.
• Option C (Stare directly at their lights) will cause temporary blindness due to glare.
• Option D (Honk your horn continuously) is distracting and does not resolve the visual hazard.

Determine the safest action

The standard defensive driving protocol is to guide your vehicle by looking toward the right edge of your lane and reducing speed.

Answer:

• A: Flash your high beams repeatedly
• B: Look toward the right edge of your lane and slow down (Correct answer)
• C: Stare directly at their lights to signal them
• D: Honk your horn continuously
