If an oncoming vehicle has its high-beam headlights on, where should you look?

Straight ahead
At the oncoming driver
The left side of the road
The right edge of the road

The correct answer is: The right edge of the road

When an oncoming vehicle has its high-beam headlights on, the glare can be blinding and make it difficult for you to see the road ahead. To avoid being temporarily blinded by the oncoming high beams, it is recommended to look towards the right edge of the road or the white line marking the edge of your lane. This allows you to maintain visibility of the road while minimizing the impact of the bright lights. Looking straight ahead, at the oncoming driver, or at the left side of the road may expose you to the glare and increase the risk of temporary vision impairment.
