TOPIC: Headlights
#255206
Headlights 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Glad to see so many others find headlights on cars (and motorbikes and lorries and buses) are too bright. I actually will not drive after dark unless necessary. I thought it was me turning 80 but now gather many agree.

It's a real problem; a Government that prioritises our well being over the might of the motor car industry would limit the headlights.

Headlights point in different directions, from place to place

Wow I was just thinking this yesterday as I had to move my car to a garage which I did at night and I thought the lights on other cars were a nightmare.

It's those rotten four wheel drives and new cars that seem to have lights for country driving, not the city.

The BBC at its best - a topic that dazzled me and millions of others yet never gets covered.
I even found, in my last Morocco trip, I was dazzled by headlights BEHIND me, reflected in my mirror.
I actually didn't go to some restaurants because I knew I'd have to drive back at night.
Several of my favourites I only visited because I could navigate the road back blindfolded, I knew it so well.

It's just as dangerous for the drivers who have the lights - if dazzled we drive into them....

It's the LED lights that are the worst. I have them on my Audi but I cannot control the angle of the beam they are preset for some reason. Mind you I have LED on my big adventure motorcycle and I'm glad it is bright, even in the day. I want motorists to know I am there. I've already had one flying lesson into a car windscreen I don't need another one!

A year ago I got a set of real headlights. The bright LED's for walking with on your forehead in the dark. You can even dip them!

Since getting them I've discovered they have many more unintended great uses apart from walking along dark unlit footpaths and trails.

Might be worth - JK and others -looking into anti headlight prescription glare glasses? Which I didn't know existed until today.

AI informs me they can be highly effective. I think I will give them a go...

I hope you don't do dogging Rich, it's always the quiet ones with the filthy and kinky minds.

Thank you for that Wyot. Sadly, I bought a new frame recently but the salesman never mentioned anything about anti-glare. It would be good to have a pair like that for concerts also.
