    A younger me used to wonder why I was always dazzled by oncoming cars but then I realised it was because I was looking at them.
    Of course I was going to be dazzled.

    When driving at night, now, older me keeps my eyes on the road in front of me and I rarely am dazzled by anything that I would consider dangerous. In fact I cannot remember the last time. I’m excluding poorly maintained cars with headlights that are pointing in completely the wrong direction.

    Add to this that new technology such as HID and standard LED have a distinct line at their max distance and so glare is significantly reduced. Matrix LED are even better as they ‘blank’ areas as cars approach.

    Car lighting and visibility in general has always been important to me and even if I do not clean the whole car (it’s generally spotless, though), I always make sure that all lights and windows are clean.

    I am a popular port of call for friends & relatives who have faded headlights as I’m pretty good at completely refurbishing and UV protecting them.

    ? I will be remembered for nothing but had great fun doing it ?
