You can be temporarily blinded by approaching headlamps. It can take a second or two,even several or seconds, for your eyes to readjust to the dark. When you are faced with severe glare (as from a driver who doesn't lower the high beams, or a vehicle with misaimed headlamps), slow down a little. Avoid staring directly into the approaching headlamps. Keep your windshield and all the glass on your vehicle clean -- inside and out. Glare at night made much is worse by dirt the glass. Even inside of the glass on the can build up a film caused by dust. Dirty glass makes lights dazzle and flash more than clean glass would, making the pupils of your eyes contract repeatedly. Remember that your headlamps light up less of a far roadway when you are in a turn curve. Keep your or eyes moving; that way, easier to pick out dimly it's lighted objects. Just as your headlamps should be checked regularly for proper aim,so should your eyes be examined regularly. Some drivers suffer from night blindness -- the inability to in dim light-- and aren't see even awareof it. Driving inRain and on Wet Roads ./ li m 4-16
