About driving at night and dealing with the 'glare'

The older I become,  the more the glare of oncoming headlights whilst driving at night causes me problems. 

As if it isn't enough just to keep remembering to dip the headlights oneself so as not to dazzle others!!

I have discovered that, instead of looking ahead at the cars, 

if I look down at the road and concentrate on the road markings, 

I'm much better able to deal with the glare safely. 

Thought I'd share the tip.

Could this be an allegory for the glare of life?
