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.

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 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!

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