You саг be terrporanly blinded by approaching
headlamps. Il can ta>ie a second or tvvo, or even severaf
seconds, far your eyes to re-ad)usl to the dark. Wherr
you are [aced with severe glare [as Irom a driver
who doesn’t lower the high beams, cr a vehicle with
misairriEd headlamps), slow down a little. Avoid starmg
directly into the approaching headlamps.
Keep your windshield and all Ihe glass on your vehicle
dean — inside and out. Glare at night is made much
worse by dirt on the glass. Even tho inside of the glass
car build up
a film caused by dust. Cifrty glass makes
lights dazzle and flash rnore than clean glass would,
making thq pupils of your eyes coniracl repeatedly.
Remember that your headlamps light up far less of a
roadway when you are in a turn or curve. Keep
your eyes moving: that way, it's easier to pick out dimty
lighled objects. Just as уоуг headlamps should be
checked regularly tof proper aiпn^ so should your eyes
he examined regularly. Some drivers suffer from
nig hi blindness — the inahtlily to see in dim light — and
aren’t even aware of it
