If a vehicle using high beams comes toward you, you should look toward ____ of the road.
- Either side
- The center
- The right side ✓
- The left side
Answer: C. The right side
You should look toward the right side of the road.
Why this is the answer
The Florida handbook's night-driving section warns that glare from oncoming traffic can reduce your vision. It says not to look directly at oncoming headlights, and to use lane lines as visual guides while checking the other vehicle's position briefly. For a vehicle with one light coming toward you, it also says to drive as far to the right as you can. Putting that guidance together, your glance should be toward the right side of the road, away from the bright beams, while you keep your lane position.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Either side — Looking to either side is too vague; the handbook points you away from the oncoming glare and toward your lane lines, not to an unspecified side.
- B. The center — Looking toward the center aims your eyes closer to the oncoming headlights, which the handbook says not to look directly at.
- D. The left side — Looking toward the left side sends your gaze toward the oncoming traffic and its glare, rather than using the lane lines as a guide.
Remember it
At night, let the right-side lane line be your guide when headlights glare at you.
