Have any members, as I have, noticed a large increase in the number of oncoming headlights which dazzle (and sometimes almost blind) on single carriageway unlit roads in dry, clear weather conditions?

The amount of dazzle seems to vary from when the oncoming vehicle first comes into view to when we pass each other. Often the beam appears to be "bouncing" which makes me think that it could be automatic beam adjustment not doing the job for which it was designed.

I can easily identify older vehicles, like mine, which have standard halogen bulbs by the warmer colour of the light and they are never a problem. It's newer cars with LED units which are the suspects.

Is anyone else bothered by this?
