When driving at night, if an oncoming vehicle is shining its high beam lights at you, you should:

Flash your high beams at the other vehicle
Look away and towards the right side of the road
Increase your speed
Wave the other vehicle on

The correct answer is: Look away and towards the right side of the road

When driving at night, if an oncoming vehicle is shining its high beam lights at you, it is important to avoid looking directly at the lights. This can be distracting and can cause temporary blindness in some cases. Flashing your high beams (A) or waving the other vehicle on (D) can also be distracting for both drivers. Increasing your speed (C) is unsafe and can put you and others at risk. The safest option is to look away and towards the right side of the road (B), as this allows you to maintain control of your vehicle and avoid getting blinded by the oncoming vehicle's high beams.
