What may be the effect of wrong adjustment of low-beam lights?

Description

Annex 1 pt 4.1.2 p. 11979 of the Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure of 18 September 2009 on the scope and method of conducting tests (Journal of Laws No. 155, item 1232)

Explanation

Correct answer: Blinding the drivers approaching from the opposite direction.

Incorrectly adjusted dipped-beam headlights, especially those aimed too high, can dazzle drivers approaching from the opposite direction and those in preceding vehicles. Dazzling is extremely dangerous because the driver loses their ability to see for a few seconds, which can easily lead to an accident.
