Modern Menace

With the recent introduction of Xenon (zeenon) and latter day illegal Halogen light bulbs being fitted to new cars, the dangerous piercing glare of oncoming headlights has become even more hazardous than they were in the past, especially whilst driving in the dark on motorways and unlit country lanes these headlights have the appearance they are on full beam when in fact their not.

It now seems to be the latest craze on “How to annoy other driver’s”, as more and more drivers are driving continuously with their headlights on full beam?

Despite being illegal, it appears that drivers embarrassed driving their old cars, have decided to drive with their headlights on full beam, thus giving the “appearance” from a distance, that their driving a newer model car than they really are, the ‘full beam’ is to trick the observer into believing they are viewing a ‘new’ car with ‘Xenon or Halogen’ headlights on, instead of an old clapped motor vehicle they are trying to mask by this ridiculous, dangerous new fad which seems to be growing, and which results in temporarily blinding any oncoming drivers and their passengers. www.seesafer.co.uk
