When you're driving at night, most folks have a tendency to look directly into the headlights of oncomng traffic. It's a pretty natural thing to do. Something bright and shiny is moving in your field of vision, so it draws your eye.
It also tends to kill your night vision, leaving you seeing spots, and not seeing the road as well as you did before.
A little trick that I was shown is to not look directly at the oncoming lights. Instead, look down and to the right, and watch the line on the right side of the road.
The oncoming lights will still dazzle your eyes, but instead of dazzling the center of your vision, they'll get the far left side, and leave you still able to see the road just fine.

I try to do this but all the time the light reflects anyways and it becomes pointless, I drive to work at around 4:50am and people around here are dumb enough to leave their brights on till the last second. Also, I'd just rather not die in a head on collision so I try to figure out where in their lane they are, sometimes they're not even IN their lane.
Or you could just close your eyes and hope for the best.
