Safety margins

You are suddenly dazzled by bright, low sunlight ahead. What should you do?

Slow down, and stop if you cannot see
Correct
Speed up to get out of the glare
Close your eyes for a moment
Switch on your full-beam headlights

Why?

Rule 237 of The Highway Code says if you are dazzled by bright sunlight you should slow down and, if necessary, stop. You cannot keep a safe margin from hazards you cannot see, so reduce speed until your view clears.
