Glasses to stop being blinded by idiots?

scooby75

Now that we are into long nights, I'm finding myself driving to and from work in the dark (unlit motorways for most of the journey).

This brings with it the idiots, selfish and ignorant who either can't be bothered getting their headlights properly adjusted or who think that fitting their cars with bright headlights is a wonderful idea.

Which in turn leads to the rest of us sick to death of being blinded by said idiots / ignoramuses etc etc and not even able half the time to clearly see cats eyes (probably one of the best inventions made motorsafety wise).

Sooo, now I've got that off my chest, I've heard that you can buy glasses to stop being blinded whilst still being able to see clearly. I don't see why I should have to fork money out because of these idiots, but there we go.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has bought a pair of them. Are they any good? How much were they?

I know you can get a 'driving' tint added to your glasses at specsavers. I wanted to get it once until the girl told me it was tinted yellow and very uncool! Lol

Thanks, however I don't think that'll work on contact lenses!

No, but you could just buy a set of yellow tinted driving glasses.

if you have contacts then you cant ADD any glassware ontop that would/could obscure your vision because you could send your vision out of legal requirements, you have two options train your eye on the road and look past the glare, or ditch your contacts for the winter nights and get yourself some yellow tinted glasses from specsavers.

I give them a blast of the high beams if no one else is behind them.

So now you have TWO drivers who can't see careering towards each other. :eek:

Haha! The outcome of that would be interesting! But I have to agree with the OP here. Even within the city, you go half blind when flashy cars drive by, not that I care as I admire a nice car but some regulations are definitely needed on these sort of lights. I'm suprised one hasn't been put through already as they are becoming more common then ever.

You also notice how bright brake lights can be when you're sat behind someone at traffic lights who won't use the handbrake for whatever reason. There's one set of lights on my journey home from work which are on red for about 90 seconds - I sometimes put the sun visor down while I'm waiting behind these people.

That is because they are driving an automatic.

Surely wearing a pair of yellow tinted driving glasses is no different to contact lens wearers who use sunglasses during the day.
Provided that they are plain glass then I can't see the problem.
