A: Some time after the vehicle has passed you

B: Before the vehicle starts to pass you

D: As soon as the vehicle passes you

On full beam, your lights could dazzle the driver in front. Dip your lights as soon as the driver passes you and drop back so that the dipped beam falls short of the other vehicle.
