Slow down or stopThis was the right answer

If the headlights of an oncoming vehicle dazzle you, slow down or, if necessary, stop. Don’t close your eyes or swerve, as you'll increase your chances of having a collision. Don't flash your headlights either, as this could dazzle other drivers and make the situation worse.
