Am I the only one who gets mad about this? Whenever I drive at night, I live in West London (W11), I am totally blinded by virtually most cars coming in the opposite direction. They seem to have their full beams on, so much so that I put mine on to confront them. It actually stings my eyes they are so bright and I am sure damages the eyes of drivers who view them.
What I think the problem is?
1/ 90% of drivers in my area of west london setting their lights full up (you can adjust on most new cars how high you want your lights), instead of the lower options.
2/ The fact that they are mostly new cars makes the lights brighter anyway.
3/ Many 4X4s sit higher on the road and they are nightmare to confront.
4/ Finally anyone who has ever driven around Kensal Rise, Wilsden, Kilburn will see terrible drivers, many of whom have bought their license (having paid someone else to sit their test). I have seen many who actually drive around with their full beams on and are confused when I flash them.
How to solve it?
I think the Police should stop everyone with dangerously high lights. They just drive around like lost farts at night, may aswell do some good and attempt to protect other drivers eyes from the idiots.
Personally I am thinking of getting one of those stick on visors that you attach to the front windscreen, that used to be all the rage a few years ago and that come in blue, purple ect. Not sure how much they are or where to get them though.
