at last a report on those bright LED lights

I’ve just remembered that , when we used to travel round Europe in our Traveller, I’m sure we had to put a yellow film over the headlights when travelling through France. I read last night that another problem is that many cars are much higher, too, so someone in a little car like mine gets the full glare.

Those lights are like search lights, I remember a public information film on the telly back in the day with the slogan ‘dip don’t dazzle’.
Are these cars unable to dip their headlights??

The problem is that when those dreadfully dazzling headlights are dipped they’re still too bright.

I thought that it was just my aging eyesight that was causing me to find them difficult, but my DD says they are a problem for her, too.

I hate driving at night. Not only am I dazzled by oncoming cars but also by selfish motorists who have their lights permanently on full beam and drive about two inches from my rear bumper.

I’ve just driven home from my sons and unfortunately had to travel back at rush hour and I’ve resolved not to drive in the dark again, certainly not when the roads are busy. I felt very disorientated going round an island near to my home because of the lights and the lack of road markings. I was actually going to ask if anyone had bought those anti glare lenses that fit over your driving glasses ( even though my driving glasses are supposed to be anti glare).

Oh I agree, LED’s are blinding aren’t they? I read that it takes 9 seconds for older people to recover sight after being dazzled when driving but only 1 second for a 16 year old.I know 16 year olds don’t drive but it shows the difference.
