What should you do if a car coming toward you at night keeps its high beams on?

Looking to the right lane or edge markings of the road is the appropriate response when faced with an oncoming vehicle that has its high beams on. This technique helps to avoid being blinded by the bright lights and allows you to maintain your lane without losing your orientation. By focusing on the edge markings, you can keep a safe path on the road and continue driving without compromising your safety or the safety of others.

The other actions are less advisable in this situation. Slowing down and looking straight ahead can be dangerous, as it may leave you unable to see where you are going or react to any obstacles in the road. Flashing your high beams at the other driver might not be effective and could escalate the situation, leading to potential road rage or further distraction. Honking your horn could also draw unnecessary attention or provoke a negative response from the other driver, which could further compromise your safety. Therefore, focusing on the right lane markings is the most effective and safest action to take when confronted with bright headlights at night.
