When you drive at night, you can reduce the problem of glare from the headlights of an approaching car by:
- Looking to the lower right side of your lane ✓
- Having the inside lights on to make the amount of light equal
- Looking at the spot on the lower edge of the steering wheel
- Wearing glasses with lightly tinted lenses
Answer: A. Looking to the lower right side of your lane
Look to the lower right side of your lane to reduce glare from an approaching car's headlights.
Why this is the answer
The manual says that when approaching headlights glare at you, you should move your eyes to the right and use the road edge as a guide until the other vehicle passes. That is what looking toward the lower right side of your lane does: it takes your gaze away from the bright lights and gives you a steady edge to follow. The manual also says light from inside the vehicle makes it harder to see the road ahead, so keeping the interior light off is part of seeing better at night.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. Having the inside lights on to make the amount of light equal — The manual says light from inside your vehicle makes it harder to see the road ahead and tells you to keep the interior roof light off, so adding inside light does not balance glare.
- C. Looking at the spot on the lower edge of the steering wheel — The manual directs your eyes to the right and the road edge as a guide, not to a spot on the lower edge of the steering wheel.
- D. Wearing glasses with lightly tinted lenses — The manual does not recommend lightly tinted glasses for this; it points you to the right road edge and clean windshield glass instead.
Remember it
Aim your eyes at the right road edge, not at the bright lights, until the car has gone by.
