Have you ever driven a car at night on the roads
recently? Or been in a car with someone driving at
night? Now tell me how many of you out there have
experience this.
You are driving nicely. Relaxed and calm. Everything
is fine until this car comes opposite your direction
with headlights glaring to their full capabilities.
And you realize that you can't see a thing. The
glare hits your eye and reflects back to nothingness.
You try to signal to the guy to use the dipper but to
no avail. It comes in full speed with its
super-headlights glaring at you in anger at being
questioned. You relent. You slow down. Let the car
pass you. You wait for a few more moments till the
normalcy in your eyesight returns. You drive more
cautiously.
I dread to think what could have happened when you are
temporarily blinded by that glare and a person walks
in front of your car at that moment. Need I be more
graphic? And the problem is in not only cars, but also in bikes and auto-rickshaws.
Is there a way using glaring headlights in cars be
banned? Is there a way driving can be more pleasurable
at night?
