A secret switch under the rearview mirror in many cars could save lives, with some drivers only now finding out that it exists. According to the RAC, nine out of 10 drivers think that some or most headlights are too bright and 90% of them say that they get dazzled.
The Government has been looking at regulations for brighter new LED lights. Transport Minister Baroness Vere recently said in Parliament: "Regulations are already in place to help prevent headlamps, including those using LED technology, causing dazzle and glare. Nevertheless, work is ongoing at an international level to develop and introduce improved headlamp aiming requirements. These are also likely to mandate automatic headlamp levelling systems on new cars."
But there is also already a solution that could help - at least with the glare from cars behind you reflected in your mirror.
