What should you do when faced with glare while driving at night?

1. Speed up to get out of the glare quickly

2. Use high beam lights

3. Slow down and avoid staring directly into approaching lights

4. Close your eyes briefly

The correct answer is: Slow down and avoid staring directly into approaching lights

Glare while driving at night can be dangerous as it can reduce your visibility on the road and make it difficult to see other vehicles or obstacles. Speeding up to get out of the glare quickly, as suggested in option A, is unsafe as it increases the risk of accidents and makes it more difficult to see potential hazards on the road. Option B, using high beam lights, can also worsen the glare and make it harder for other drivers to see. Closing your eyes, as suggested in option D, is extremely dangerous and should never be done while driving. The best course of action when faced with glare while driving at night is to slow down and avoid staring directly into approaching lights. This allows your eyes to adjust to the changing light levels and reduces the risk of accidents.
