Flashers in the dark

[John]

Car drivers that is, with their 100 gazillion megawatt LED headlights. Just stop it.

The big thing around here are those centrally mounted F1-style rear brake light, every 318 and Golf seems to have one fitted. It's the most road-safe mod trend that's ever existed

Agreed - hate it - I'll do you a favour, you'll blind me for 20 seconds... - Gee thanks..

I've taken to dropping my lights to sidelights and back as a thank you...

[Mito Man]

I follow up thank them with a flash of the lightbar. Can never be too courteous.

[Beany]

With modern hyper powerful LED headlights, people parking on the wrong side of the road and leaving their headlights on is really starting to be a problem, particularly if there's any kind of incline - completely blinded as you approach.

It's a fucking liability.

You can always tell when a Nissan quasquai is following you- every bumpy section of road makes you get a blueish flash through the rear window making you look for the incoming emergency service

[Mito Man]

Yep that’s the worst thing about LEDs for me. Driving briskly late at night and you see another car in the mirrors which looks like an undercover cop with blues on

Word of the day; cunteous.

[nuttinnew]

You can always tell when a Nissan quasquai is following you-

its fog lights are on. (See also; Nissan Juke).

[Mito Man]

Must have visual impairment in the first place to buy a Juke, hence the fogs at night or during rain.

Driving the Ferrari this week and it’s been very noticeable that LED lights dazzle a hell of a lot more than previous. I wonder if the angle of the windscreen exacerbates it. Plus all the bloody SUVs out there!
