As if driving at night facing millions or flashlights (headlights) or in
 weather isn't challenging enough, I've noticed some cars with the hallogen headlights that seem to burn right through my head.  This seems more like a gripe, but there it is. |

Oh yes!
I hate those headlights! And it's funny because you know, you are "not supposed to look directly into the oncoming cars headlights" but it's like sometimes you just can't help it. I try to focus on the right side white line on the road - that seems to work. Oh and the people who come up behind you and forget about the bright lights!!! UGH!!! Don't even get me started!!!

I'm with you guys on this one, I don't like them either. I'm already night blind so driving in the dark is hard enough without adding those headlights into the mix!
 When I lived overseas, a lot of people had kind of yellowish headlights on their cars, those weren't to bad to look at. I've seen some in the states, but not many. Laura Forum Moderator ***You're welcome to enter your birthday, etc in the Celebrate folder so we can party with you!! =) ***  |

When someone is in the back of me w/those lights, I have to cover my rearview mirror in order to see. If the person is near & in front, I honk & flicker my lights.
The worst is the those SUVs with those light. They are piercing. Sometimes it gets so visually confusing, I get disoriented. I have poor to no depth perception, so the hallogen light really throw of any strategies I try to use to compensate for lack of stereoptic vision. |

I can't handle them either. I'm lucky in that I'm not generally bothered by computer screens or CFLs, but man, those halogen headlights just bore through my head. Killer.

It's gotten to the point that I don't feel safe driving in general for a number of reasons, but I *especially* don't at night, and a big part of the reason is my complete inability to handle the glare from headlights. DBF drives us anywhere if we're going at night, and I wear sunglasses (amber lenses, polarized, to help cut glare). It's doubly awful if it's raining - which it does a lot of here in the NW!
