You're driving at night. What should you do if you're dazzled by headlights coming towards you?

View hint

If the headlights of an oncoming vehicle dazzle you, slow down or, if necessary, stop. Do not close your eyes or swerve, as you’ll increase your chances of having a collision. Do not flash your headlights either, as this could dazzle other drivers and make the situation worse.
