Question 7469

Can you dazzle the drivers of vehicles traveling ahead of you in the same lane with your high beams?

  1. Yes, through their rearview mirrors, so you must switch to low beams.
  2. Yes, because of the reflection off the roadway.
  3. No, you can only dazzle drivers coming toward you.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, through their rearview mirrors, so you must switch to low beams.

Yes. Your high beams reflect in the mirrors of the vehicle ahead in your lane and blind its driver. That's why you must switch to low beams as soon as you could blind them. In the image, the headlights of the car behind shine in the interior rearview mirror and bother the driver.
