Look to the opposite corner of the road but keep your steering wheel straight, so as to not veer in the direction you're staring. If they're driving with highs on, flash your high beams to indicate they should turn them off.

If you become sleepy while driving what is the best thing to do?
Turn into the oncoming traffic lane. The bright headlights and horns will keep you awake.
If you are walking on a road with no sidewalks which side should you walk on?
Always walk facing the oncoming traffic. In North America, you would walk on the left-hand side of the road. This allows you to better see oncoming cars and step aside out of their way if necessary. It also makes it more likely that an oncoming driver will see you, as you will be directly in his/her headlights.
Does driving with low beams durung the day increase your visibility?

Can you use your bright headlights on an interstate?
Use of Bright Beam HeadlightsUsually the use of bright beam headlights is allowed on most major highways, with the exception that most traffic codes REQUIRE that they be switched to the low beams when there is oncoming traffic.The purpose of this is to prevent or reduce the glare and chances of "blinding" the driver of oncoming vehicles, and thus to increase safety on the highways.It is not only RUDE AND CRUDE to fail to dim your headlights for oncoming traffic, but it also is usually a violation of the law.
When driving in a crosswind situation you could be blown into oncoming traffic or other roadside hazards?
True
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.
Headlight Highbeams-is there a distance between you and oncoming traffic when you must dim your headlights?
Yes. When your high beams run the risk of blinding oncoming traffic you must dim them. The exact distance will vary with how powerful your beams are, and the alignment of the cars. If you're on the outside face of a curve you can keep them on a little longer. In Texas, per 9-1 of the Texas Drivers Handbook, you should lower (dim) your headlights when you are: 1) Within 500 feet of an approaching vehicle. 3) When driving on lighted roads. 4) When driving in fog, heavy rain, sleet, snow, or dust.
In Florida when approaching another vehicle from the rear at night how many feet must you dim you headlights?
in florida you must dim your headlights from the oncoming traffic at 500 feet. and from the rear at 300 feet.
Can you make a you turn from the bike lane into oncoming traffic?
No. Bicycles travelling on a public roadway are subject to the same traffic laws as motor vehicles. Making a U-turn and driving into oncoming traffic would be unlawful for a motor vehicle and thus, also for a bicyclist.
Lower highlight beams must be used when?
Your headlights should be set to low-beams whenever you meet oncoming traffic, as a courtesy to prevent your headlights from distracting the other driver. You should also use low beams when driving in fog or heavy rain, to prevent light reflected by the rain or fog from blinding YOU.
