As I get older, it is becoming more and more difficult to drive at night. The bright, high-beam headlights of the oncoming cars are totally blinding and force me to practically stop till the car passes me.
Is there no way to design cars that do not blind the drivers of cars in the opposite lane?
Cars are getting fancier headlamps that are more blinding than the ones before. These high intensity headlamps are deadly, since the blinding effect continues after the car has passed by.
No one seems to be bothered by this. Am I the only one affected by this? Or are others used to driving blind?
It looks like people in other countries are at least aware this problem.

Hi,
I see many drivers on Indian roads driving with the fog lights on (when there's no fog). My guess is that the driving schools here don't teach people the correct use of these lights (along with many other things :)). People simply assume that all the lights are meant to be used all the time.
-D
Yes Driving schools don't teach anything much- just how to use clutch and brake and steer. No road rules, no parking skills, nothing.
