RAC says new headlights 'blinding drivers'

I've been complaining about this since they first brought the LED headlights out. Hopefully they'll do something about it but they probably should have realised it before they stuck them on millions of cars.

No doubt they're good for the driver of the car, but they do seem to cause problems for a lot of other road users. I even get blinded by cyclists these days!

I don't often drive in the dark but when I do I have so much rage with people driving up my back end with lights, lighting up the road Infront of me more than my own lights. Or them idiots driving round with 1 head light so the other one is double bright.

Hate night driving.....

My poor dog in the boot is usually the one taking the brunt of it.

I've started just pulling over and letting people pass if they're too close and too bright. Tailgating on it's own is a serious problem but add bright as hell lights to the scenario and it becomes too uncomfortable/dangerous for my liking, I seem to spend more time looking in my rear-view mirror than I do looking forwards these days.

I'm going to look into getting some anti-glare tint or something put on the rear and rear-side windows, for my dog's vision and my own sanity.
