more mature drivers giving up night driving?

The problem with organising day time events is it restricts the same range of people who are free to go. Many of my groups are mixed age, with most still working. I'm continuing to drive at night but I do find the glare from headlights is much worse these day. I wonder if it's possible to buy anti glare glasses. Anyone know?

I’ve avoided driving at night for a year but I had my left cataract removed two weeks ago and I noticed the other night when out with my daughter that it’s improved quite a lot so hopefully when my other eye is done I will be happy to drive at night again.

I can imagine giving up when I no longer need to drive at night. It’s not just the bright headlights and massive cars - I also can struggle to see road markings that councils no longer bother to repaint, or to avoid all the widening potholes that no-one repairs. Add to that cars parked on both sides of streets that means you have to play chicken with oncoming cars…

At my recent eye test the optician said there is growing and widespread concern about the use of LED lights and also the positioning of headlights, higher and larger on these unnecessarily large cars. The worst time at present apparently is between 3 and 6 o'clock; school traffic, appalling parking blocking one side of dimly lit roads, and the rush to get home.

I don’t drive at night unless I absolutely have to. My car is very low to the ground and the glare of headlights from larger cars and SUVs hits me straight in the eyes and blinds me.

I don’t have trouble driving after dark on familiar routes, but I know many do and won’t drive after dark. I sing in choirs and we rehearse in the evenings and I would hate to give that up. Our audiences are diminishing as some older people won’t come out at night.
It sounds a good idea to try to get your organiser to put on some daytime events if possible.

I believe it was discussed in parliament, although I'm not sure of the result. Certainly led lights are very bright and dazzling
