Blinded by the light

“I agree they can be problematic, but they’re better for that vehicle’s driver, giving a much better, brighter and longer reaching light.”
Or as my dad used to say, “ I’m alright Jack, pull the ladder up!”
It ok you can see better but f##k everyone else.
I’m not a driver and it’s this sort of attitude that put me off ever being one!

I think too few people adjust the angle of their lights according to the load in the car. This means they often tip up too much when loaded.
It really annoys me as it's so simple these days.

Yes, it is awful. they should be regulated.

Probably xenon headlights, usually standard on quality cars. I followed my SinL to a restaurant and she complained that I’d been on main beam, but I hadn’t and my lights were set correctly. Her car was lower than mine, so the way my lights hit her interior mirror was to blame. I agree they can be problematic, but they’re better for that vehicle’s driver, giving a much better, brighter and longer reaching light.

I honestly think these new lights should be banned - they are awful.

Agreed - I had to stop driving at night because of the bright lights. Then I had an eye check up. They said that our eyes react more slowly as we age.
They recommended a special coating on the glasses. It has helped quite a bit, though I still find driving in the dark a challenge when it is raining.
