| Description of the problem | I want to protest in the loudest voice that i have as a automobile driver the use by some recent model cars of high intensity headlights. I am not referring to high beams....... These lights are far worse than high beams. I am blinded by these lights and find my eyes turning to them involuntarily. I fear that they will be responsible for many accidents if other drivers react as i do. I see absolutely no need for such lights on our highways. This is the first compliant i have ever submitted in 57 years of driving! *ak |
