While it has been shown that the observer's gaze location (e.g., either fixed or free) does not significantly impact perceptions of discomfort glare in the context of oncoming headlamps (Bullough et al., 2003), the impact of different viewing locations, especially upon the entrance of a curve while driving, on target detection is not well understood.
