The cars made these days are all for women who do not feel safe unless they are sitting in cars that weigh ten ton,and five foot high. They are driven like sports cars, without any thought as to stopping.And another thing is, how can those damn lights be legal. If I put 100 watt bulbs in my car, they are illegal. Yet these spotlight like lights are so bright and certainly not aimed properly.Utterly ridiculous and unsafe for other drivers. On the new cars the headlights are just at other drivers eye line. I think they should be banned on the grounds of safety. I have actually thought of fitting a couple of the old spotlights., blue spot, that I took off my Daimler many years ago, and mounting them rally style at the same height. Did you know that headlights can not be higher than 41 inches from the ground, I think. Be good idea to measure some of these ‘blinders’ to see how high they are.
