What should a driver do if dazzled by lights at night reflecting in their interior mirror?

When a driver is dazzled by lights at night reflecting in their interior mirror, using the night driving mode, if available, is the correct response. This feature is specifically designed to reduce glare from headlights of vehicles behind by adjusting the angle of the mirror. By switching to the night mode, the driver can significantly decrease the intensity of the light reflected from the rear, allowing for safer driving conditions.

This action enhances visibility and comfort while driving at night, as it helps maintain focus on the road ahead rather than being distracted or blinded by bright lights from following vehicles. It is a practical and immediate solution to improve safety and mitigate the effects of glare.

In contrast, simply ignoring the glare or continuing to drive without any adjustment places the driver and others on the road at risk, as it can lead to impaired visibility and potential accidents. Adjusting the interior mirror may help, but utilizing the night driving mode is a more effective strategy. Switching on the interior lights might actually increase the overall glare inside the vehicle, making it harder to see clearly outside.
