detecting dazzling in a dazzled vehicle caused by the oncoming dazzling vehicle by means of an optical sensor in the dazzled vehicle, wherein the dazzling is detected when the optical sensor either moves across a light-dark cut-off line or a dark-light cut-off line produced by the headlight system of the dazzling vehicle;
producing a message that dazzling has been detected, wherein the message includes information relating to a position of the dazzled vehicle at the time of the detected dazzling;
sending the message by means of a wireless transmission module of the dazzled vehicle to the dazzling vehicle.
