Correct answer

  • CReduciremos la velocidad hasta incluso llegar a detenernos.Reduce speed, even coming to a stop if necessary.
Explanation

If you are dazzled: - Look towards the right-hand side of the carriageway and avoid looking straight at the lights of the oncoming vehicle. - Reduce speed as much as necessary, even coming to a stop, until you recover from the effects of the dazzle. - Avoid moving onto the hard shoulder, as you may run off the road or find road users on it.
