Question: An approaching driver fails to dim their high beams. You should:

Answer options:

• Flash your high beams at them ✅ Look at the right edge of the road and slow down
• Speed up
• Stop in the lane

Correct answer: Look at the right edge of the road and slow down

Explanation: Looking at the right edge of your lane and slowing down is the correct action because it protects your vision from oncoming glare while helping you maintain a safe path of travel. Flashing your high beams back is dangerous as it can blind the other driver, while speeding up or stopping abruptly in the lane increases the risk of a collision. Under ICBC safety guidelines, drivers must look slightly to the right (such as the fog line) and reduce speed to manage temporary blindness safely. On the ICBC knowledge test, remember that defensive, non-retaliatory actions are always the correct choice for handling hazard scenarios.
