High intensity headlights are blinding my vision both from oncoming cars and from cars following me from behind in my side mirrors and rear view mirror. This is a serious hazard that we must look at from a preventive perspective! it is not just one day but many.
Blue headlights need to be banned. These lights are blinding. One article mentioned road rage and I can understand that. These high dollar vehicles are blinding us folks with the ordinary cars. Being blinded by the oncoming driver does not seem to be very safe.
The hid headlights on new cars and trucks are too bright.
