Flash your high beams quickly to remind the other driver to drop the high beams and if that doesn't work try to focus on the right side of the road.

What are dual beam headlights?
Car headlights have to be able to "dip" so as not to dazzle oncoming traffic, they therefore can switch between a "high" beam and a "dipped" beam and thus have a dual beam.

Should you only use your high beams on country roads at nights only?
High beams should be used only when there is no oncoming traffic, fog, snow or heavy rain. The reason for oncoming traffic is obvious - you don't want your lights to cause glare or vision problems for the oncoming drivers.But the reasons for using low beam in fog, snow and heavy rain is because when your lights are on low beam, they are directed downward toward the road, and not directed towards the distance, which enables you to see the road better in poor visibility conditions.Many drivers think low beam is a "dimming" of the lights, but it's actually more of a 'pointing downward' of the beam. So when your lights are in low beam, it gives you greater vision in poor driving conditions by training the lights downward on the road instead of towards the distance.
How many feet should you dim your lights when approacing a car?
I have been i situation in the Australian outback where you can be approaching a car for nearly an hour traveling at over 120 kmh and their high beam is already irritating. so I turn mine down when ever I see on coming traffic. and normally they do the same for me. So the right time to turn down your high beam is when you are facing oncoming traffic. any time you are blinded by oncoming traffic just flash your high beams and in the majority of cases the oncoming car will dip his lights.
When driving in fog what light beam do you use?
Unless you have fog lights which are specifically designed for the purpose you are better of using your low beam. As using the high beam will tend to bounce light back at you causing you not to be able to see as far into the fog and being less able to discern oncoming objects and lights.Low beam headlights, low beam headlights & fog lights or just fog lights unless its night time.lower headlightsLow beams, fog lights or both.
