Headlights of other cars

Hi

I was driving my daughters corsa today while my Mondeo was being serviced
This morning and evening while driving with the headlights on, every other cars headlights that was travelling towards me, sent out two thin light beams straight towards my lights... Sometimes four or five cars at at time...it was something I've never experienced before...any ideas what causes this?
Cheers

    Best to put this on the motoring forum - this is the parking tickets sub forum!

    Its either a case of getting her to clean the windscreen properly or THEY are trying to send you a message.
    My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016). :(

    For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com

    How do they send out beams to your lights?

    Flashing you because you didnt have your headlights on properly?
    Driving around on side/parking lights?

    Clean the screen with a proper cleaner. Or the good old tried and tested method of vinegar and newspaper. Or a lemon.

    You need something to cut through the oily layer of road grime.
