1. Stay Calm and Alert:
- Remain calm and composed to make informed decisions.
2. Maintain Focus:
- Keep your eyes focused on your lane and avoid looking directly at the oncoming headlights.
3. Dim Your Headlights:
- Dim your headlights to reduce the glare and signal the oncoming driver to do the same.
4. Lower Your Side Mirrors:
- Adjust your side mirrors slightly downwards to minimize glare reflection.
5. Slow Down:
- Reduce your speed to give yourself more time to react and adjust.
6. Move Over:
- If possible, move slightly to the right (if safe to do so) to give the oncoming car more space.
7. Use Your High Beams Briefly:
- If the other driver does not dim their lights, briefly switch on your high beams to signal that they should do the same.
8. Avoid Eye Contact:
- Refrain from making eye contact with the other driver, as this may escalate the situation.
9. Use Your Hazard Lights:
- In rare cases, where the situation becomes intense, turn on your hazard lights to get the attention of the oncoming driver.
10. Pull Over:
- If the glare is causing significant visual impairment, pull over to the side of the road until the oncoming vehicle passes.
11. Report the Incident:
- If the situation persists, you may consider reporting the incident to the local authorities or highway patrol.
12. Stay Safe and Patient:
- Remember that safety is paramount. Be patient and wait for the oncoming car to pass before resuming your normal driving speed.
