To be fair, what point is great eyesight if then car manufacturers go ahead and make sure that in twilight and night you can’t see diddlysquat anymore because oncoming headlights halo in the stupid copper-wiring in the windshield.
There’s a few options we have that i don’t need but don’t care, but i never, ever would buy a car again that comes with a heated windscreen baked into the spec. It’s the one option that does the exact opposite of what it’s supposed to do. In three years i never had to scratch the window once, never had the heated screen on (the front – of course the back went on a few times to defog).
Sorry for the offtopic rant, had to go shopping earlier (all lit roads) and it’s foggy, the halos become so big that it’s virtually impossible to drive safely.
Only a few months ago i went to the optician because of that issue, i thought something was wrong with my eyes (night-blind or something), but turns out my eyes are perfectly fine. 40% is surprising though, judging by how the majority around here (rural south wales) drives, they never had an eye examination and are legally blind.
