Correct answer
- ADisminuye la velocidad y, en caso necesario, detén el vehículo con la máxima precaución.Reduce speed and, if necessary, stop the vehicle with the greatest care.

When dazzled, reduce speed as much as necessary, even stopping, and look towards the right-hand edge of the carriageway so as not to lose your path. Closing your eyes or staring at the lights only makes the momentary blindness last longer.
