Have you ever been driving down the road at night and been temporarily blinded by a car behind you or coming towards you with super-bright headlights? You’re not alone. According to research by the RAC, 95 per cent of drivers say that some or all car headlights are too bright these days, with a quarter of all drivers driving less because of an increasing amount of glare.
Across Europe, a study by the FIA – which as well as running F1 and motorsport represents 140 motoring clubs and organisations – revealed that 71 per cent of drivers find glare intolerable or annoying, while 51 per cent pinch their eyes shut or close them briefly.
