fog, windshield frost, etc.).
•Surrounding light sources, such as street lights,
electric billboards and traf fic lights are illuminating
the road ahead.
•The brightness level of th e road ahead constantly
changes.
•The road is bumpy or has many curves.•A vehicle suddenly appears in front of you, or a
vehicle in front of you is not in the preceding or
oncoming direction.
•Your vehicle is tilted with a heavy load in the rear.•A traffic sign, mirror, or other reflective object
ahead is reflecting strong light toward the vehicle.
•The oncoming vehicle freq uently disappears under
