Description of the problem | I-20 0400. Traveling in the right lane. 18 wheeler ahead was pulled to the shoulder. I moved over to the left lane. While moving over there was metal in the road(learned from state police later from the 18 wheeler). Unable to avoid the object the result was a blown tire. The design of the left headlight is made so on a two lane road the oncoming traffic wont be blinded. However, with an interstate if in the right lane the left lane has a blind spot. The headlight is 1/2 the length of the right headlight. Please please look into this. I was lucky with only a blown tire more severe damage or loss of life due to lack of visibility on dim setting is frightening. |
