Glasses to stop being blinded by idiots?

Alot of newer cars come with xenon headlights which are brigher than the older style lights as standard.

That is because they are driving an automatic.

No its not its because they are lazy and dont want to put the handbrake on and take their foot off the brake. When you drive an auto its just the same, you can apply the handbrake and take your foot off. Then put it back on the brake when you want to go.

Infact Im sure when I did my driving theory test there was a question all about making sure you took your foot off the brake and using the handbrake so that you did not blind the person behind you.

I thought it was me going mad before i read this post but headlight are definitely getting brighter and i hate driving in the dark now.

Well I'm glad it's not just me who feels that way. Don't these people realise the danger they are causing to other motorists? There seems to be a growing number of people who turn their headlights on when not necessary (fog lights in broad daylight is not uncommon) or who have the set incorrectly.

Retribution springs to mind, but why be just as stupid as they are?

Perhaps we should adopt the Egyptian way of driving at night. If you see a car coming with their lights on, you both turn your lights off so neither of you are dazzled.

I couldn't believe it when it first happened, then I was introduced to the dahab shortcut !!!!

Probably a bit of a daft question, but the rear view mirror in our Astra has an anti glare coating on it so the car headlights behind are not dazzling in the mirror. Why don't manufacturers fit a similar coating to windscreens?

Because you coudn't see in daylight??

I've never had a car that I knew had that, but for many years they have had a dip position, try using that in daylight and it blacks out, similar to wearing shades at night,
