An excellent example of the creeping infantilisation of adults which seems to beendemic in 21st century life.

Years ago we had manual dipswitches and people were taught to use them to prevent dazzling oncoming drivers.

Now that auto-dipping lights are available, people assume they are suitable for use in all conditions and fail to accept any responsibility for ensuring they are used appropriately.
