You are driving west on a clear late afternoon when the low sun suddenly shines directly into your eyes, making it difficult to see the road ahead and oncoming traffic. What should you do first?

Explanation

According to the Highway Code, Rule 93, you must slow down, and if necessary stop, if you are dazzled by bright sunlight. Driving at normal speed or faster when you cannot see clearly is dangerous, as you may not detect hazards, pedestrians, or changes in the road ahead. You must reduce your speed immediately and be prepared to stop until your vision and awareness of hazards are restored.
