Arkansas Commercial Driver License (CDL) Practice Test

How can you avoid the glare of oncoming vehicles?

1. Use high beams

2. Slow down

3. Look at the right lane marking

4. Look straight ahead

The correct answer is: Use high beams

Using high beams is not the best strategy to avoid the glare of oncoming vehicles. In fact, high beams can increase the glare for yourself and other drivers. The correct choice is to look at the right lane marking, which helps to keep your focus on the road without being blinded by the bright lights of oncoming traffic. This technique allows you to maintain your lane position while minimizing the impact of the glare. Slowing down is also a sensible approach, as it gives you more time to react to any potential hazards caused by reduced visibility. However, maintaining a focus on right lane markings can be more effective in dealing specifically with glare issues. Looking straight ahead may not help you avoid the glare as it can keep your line of sight aligned with the oncoming headlights. Focusing on the right lane marking allows you to navigate better while mitigating the effects of bright lights.
