Learn to look through the right side of your windshield when blinded by light from cars coming in opposite direction.
Do not speed.
With time you'll get used to it

I need help here too. I drive based on assumptions at night. That is why I avoid staying out late or better yet, I use the cab.

If our streets were well lighted, it will go a long way helping road users at night.

NnamdiN:
You're probably short-sighted, drive slowly, stay behind somebody if you're not familiar with the road, if there are street lights, dim your own lights, too many lights will affect your vision. And if you can, avoid night driving.

moscobabs:

Thank U sir,but someone advised not to dim my light so I can see very well .But I will consider it sa. I really appreciate ur contribution still need more

NnamdiN:
I dim my lights when there are street lights already, sometimes I don't even use the lights. I wear glasses though, I'm almost blinded by too many lights hitting the glass hence the need to dim mine.

Victoriousvic:
Geez! I still can't get myself to drive at night. The last time I did it was almost a nightmare, but God no gree.

I hope I can learn a thing or two from this thread.

My problem also is the light from cars on the opposite lane getting into my eyes. I wear glasses too.

moscobabs:

but sir,can wearing glasses reduces light blinded

some do...my husband used to have same problem...but with his glasses now - he can even look @ the sun without blinking :let alone light from other cars.

For me, I dim my light if there are enof street lights - sometimes I put it off totally.

Sincerely I use a lot of 'igbaju' @9t. These are roads that I have been using for years, so I know where every pothole/obstruction is...lol
-If it's a dualized road better for me.
-if it's a single lane - then you gats be careful, move @moderate speed. I actually use the headlamp of forthcoming cars to know their position.

With time you go dey enjoy am joor. I have always loved driving @9t.

which car u buy? Come carry me commot and buy me shawarma.

I used to have similar problem,but now, i do not only drive at night, i also drive perfectly midnight lol. If you do not have any special eye defect this simple tip should help u. When you are driving at night and vehicles with bright headlamps are coming in the opposite direction, never attempt to gaze at their headlamps(as this might cause momentary blindness) but rather focus on your eyes on your lane. If it doesn't work, momentarily switch off yours and use theirs till they pass u by.

@OP

Drive slow. Never more then 60km/h on a single lane road.

On an expressway, you can try driving as far away from the median as possible. That way the lights from oncoming cars disturb you less.

Also you should try to watch the road as far ahead of you as possible so you'll know what to do with your steering when the lights are in your eyes.

You should be able to see any objects on the road, its only the boundaries of the road that become invisible with lights in your eyes. You can use the position of oncoming cars to have an idea of where the road is.

Adjust your head lamps so that they are pointing more at the ground than straight ahead. The road should become clearer.

You are allowed to use your full lamps from time to time.

I hope this helps you. It works for me, tho its better to avoid driving early in the night when the roads are busy.
