Can full-beam headlights dazzle the driver of a vehicle travelling ahead in the same direction?

Correct answer

Yes, through the mirrors; use dipped headlights if dazzling is possible.

Yes, through their rear-view mirrors. Switch from full beam to dipped headlights as soon as dazzling is possible under Article 102.2. During overtaking, being alongside or reaching another vehicle alone does not determine the change: avoid dazzling any road user and follow the other lighting rules. The risk is not limited to oncoming vehicles or determined solely by a bend’s direction.
