driving at night

Now that the clocks have gone back and it's getting dark earlier, I dread driving at night, The glare of headlights coming towards me , especially if there's a line of cars.

I had that problem when I was developing cataracts. That has resolved. Other issues now.

I drive at night using glasses that have amber-coloured lenses to reduce any glare. They make quite a bit of difference.

This sort of thing...

Re: driving at night

Hi Paula

I too hate driving at night, it's about time someone invented headlamps that don't dazzle.

Those glasses our Judd suggested look good but I wear distance glasses for driving so they wouldn't be any good for me which is a real shame. If you don't wear glasses I think Judds suggestions is well worth buying.
