Correct answer

  • BReducir la velocidad, incluso hasta llegar a detenerse totalmente, si fuera necesario.Reduce speed, even to the point of stopping completely 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 stopping, until you recover from the dazzle; avoid moving onto the hard shoulder, as you may leave the road or meet road users on it.
