Vehicle handling
It is dark and a vehicle is coming towards you. What must you do with your headlights?
- Keep them on main beam so the other driver sees you
- Switch them off until the vehicle passes
- Dip them so you do not dazzle the oncoming driverCorrect
- Flash them repeatedly
Why?
Rule 114 of The Highway Code says you MUST NOT use any lights in a way that would dazzle other road users, so dip your headlights from main beam when meeting oncoming traffic to avoid blinding the other driver.
