Who else hates driving in the dark?

I hate it ...but it's necessary.

Drivers with full beams....cars / vans higher than mine - and their headlights in my mirror..

cyclists without lights - dark clothes..


Pedestrians crossing - and not at lights or zebra crossing.

    A special place in hell must be reserved for anyone with HID headlights. Not technically even legal in the UK but forced upon us by Europe!

    I dont mind where there are lights in town but on country roads no way will I drive, my eyes lose the road, some idiot drives right at the back of me with his high headlights making me go even slower, and roundabouts at night,dont get me started about idiots on roundabouts at night.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    EXTERMINATE THEM!

    But to answer the question I quite like it. No one else spoiling my enjoyment of the country roads.

    I used to quite like driving at night till I had laser eye surgery - now I'm finding the halo effect a bit more of a nuisance.

    Try night anti glare glasses. I have a pair and they take the glare off other car lights.

    Prescription or off the shelf? I have to go back for a check up soon, so I might see what they say.

    I always figure they can see the road, so I drive straight at them, and I must be on the road too.
    (Only in the car with airbags though, in the older cars I own I aim ever so slightly left)
