You're driving at night with your headlights on main beam. A vehicle is overtaking you. When should you dip your headlights?

View hint

On main beam, your lights could dazzle the driver in front. Dip your headlights as soon as the driver passes you and drop back so that the dipped beam falls short of the vehicle in front.
