True, that.
Anyway- ive just been on a "trip". nothing long, just the usual from one place to another. But for a change i was paying a lil bit more attention to cars coming from across. i counted 3 cars with badly adjusted "classic" lights, that gave my eyes a bit of struggle... and maybe 30 of the "bi-xenon-self adjusting-super-hiper-latexwrapped-buzzword-buzzword-buzzword" .. That did the same. Thats nearly 1/3rd of cars seen.

Now youre just picky
of course on normal commute i dont care what the hell is it, its either blinding me or not. Today, because of you mentioning number of drivers of "older" cars with maladjusted lights, ive been counting

Oh i do very well know what i saw
mix of cars, about 60 percent running on old, halogen lights, and only these few had issues and out of remaining, good third were dazzlers.. BTW: me stating openly that my viewpoint is biased doesnt mean that yours isnt

I will happily agree that more modern cars lights dazzle. Some seem borderline main beam in dip

Totally agree George. I was out first thing this morning and I could barely see ahead because an oncoming car with ( presumably ) modern LED lights was approaching from the opposite direction. He wasn't on main beam but the effect of these incredibly bright lights on other motorists was the same as badly aligned conventional lights. It can only get worse

I suspect it's a combination, I won't suggest which is has the greater influence on seeing less in oncoming traffic, however I'd hazard a guess my eyes are not far behind any other single reason. |
