Night driving

We don’t like night driving now, but I do wish that it was mandatory for cyclists to have lights and to wear something reflective on their clothing. So many are on the roads in black/ dark clothes and are practically invisible.

My dh was told by his optician recently that these tinted glasses are not legal as the tint is too dark.
Ps I dislike driving in the dark too.

I have used them for the first time this evening - very pleased so far.

I think that's a fabulous idea. I've never heard of such things myself, but I do know that as we get older our eyes are more sensitive to glare.

I wonder if it would be possible to eventually start lobbying vehicle manufacturers to create headlight bulbs that are easier on the eyes to reduce glare.

Our particular problem at this time of year is glare from the sun dropping low. It was so bright yesterday afternoon that neither my good sunglasses nor DH’s driving sunglasses were much use. DH got some relief from pulling the sun visor on the windscreen down, but I am so short in my seat that mine is useless.

DH has a pair of the yellow night time ones and finds them helpful. His pair have lenses at the sides too.

I have an anti-glare coating on my usual prescription driving glasses.
