Glare.
Drivers can be blinded for a short time by bright light. It takes
time to recover from this blindness. Older drivers are especially
bothered by glare. Most people have been temporarily blinded by
the high beams of an oncoming vehicle. It can take several seconds
to recover from glare. Even two seconds of glare blindness can be
dangerous. A vehicle going 55 mph will travel more than half the
distance of a football field during that time. Don’t look directly
at bright lights when driving. Look at the right side of the road.
Watch the sidelines when someone coming toward you has bright lights.
