Correct answer
Switch from main beam to dipped headlights.
Switch from main beam to dipped headlights as soon as a risk of dazzling is noticed, under Article 102. This includes approaching vehicles and those ahead whose mirrors may reflect the light. Do not wait until an overtake ends if that risk already exists. Also adapt speed to the illuminated distance, and do not replace dipped headlights with position lights alone.
