If, at night, you pass another car lighting the road with its lights, can this stop you from noticing any obstacles on the road?
aYes, because there is a possibility of being temporarily blinded by the lights.
bNo, the lights of the car coming from the opposite direction always improve visibility on the road.
cNo, this does not affect the visibility on the road.
Why?
The photo shows glare from an oncoming vehicle's headlights and their reflections on the road. This can temporarily dazzle the driver and make obstacles difficult to spot. It is therefore wrong to say either that these headlights always improve visibility or that they have no effect on it.
