    Perhaps it is the general lack of concern executed by vehicle drivers, that
    is the cause of the blinding glare. For example, the improperly loaded trunk
    or pickup bed, that has the vehicle's lights aimed higher than legally
    permitted.

    Isn't that the truth. Makes you wonder what exactly the drivers are looking
    for when their lights are aimed at the treetops.

    =====================


    I get a charge out of watching cars go bye on the highway in a snow
    storm or fog.... They look like they're trying to communicate with the
    'mother-ship' by pointing one headlight into the upper reaches of the
    atmosphere:)

    Their ape relatives, perhaps?

    Wholly agreed. Particularly in dark country areas, I often have a very
    difficult time seeing my side of the road when someone with about 10M
    candle-power shooting off their front bumper comes along in the opposite
    direction. At least with my power mirrors I can simply aim them down
    when they run up behind me...

    The big lie about DRL's being safe. It's proven that they don't do any
    good.

    Here is a bit of text regarding DRL's from the following website.

    The first, last and only large scale U.S. study that has been completed and
    published on the effects of DRLs as safety devices, was conducted by the
    insurance industry supported Highway Loss Data Institute. The results;
    vehicles equipped with DRLs were involved in more accidents than similar
    vehicles without DRLs. The difference was minimal. but the meaning was
    strait forward, DRLs aggravate other motorists, obscure directional lights,
    waste fuel, "mask" other road users that don't have headlights on, or don't
    have headlights period (pedestrians and bicyclists) and their net effect on
    accident reduction is zero or worse.

    For the Highway Loss Data Institute's ** actual ** position on DRLs,
    see: http://www.iihs.org/safety_facts/qanda/drl.htm

    Numerous insurance companies offer discounts for their use... Think
    about it.
