Years ago we had manual dipswitches and people were taught to use them to prevent dazzling oncoming drivers.
In the late 1950s, my Dad’s MG Magnette ZB had a floor mounted dip switch, to the left of the clutch.  As for the headlights being discussed; they are a real pain to oncoming traffic on the winding and undulating roads around here.

I have quality glasses, but what’s more important is cleaning them and cleaning the windscreen, inside and out, , it makes a massive difference.

Many new cars now have automatic dip beams - and they're not very good.
Plus those who think automatic headlamps will switch them on in all circumstances. How often a have you come across a car in daylight fog with only DRLs on. I think it partly due to nearly all cars having the instrument lighting come on with the ignition. M3Ws avoid this error.

I see a lot of the DRL problem. If you come out of London on the M3 or M4 both are well lit for a good distance out of London. During this time the cars lights remain dormant even if they are automatic-on/off. DRL's are on (front only) so making these cars stand out from behind.
When you get to the unlit lane the automatic cars light up, the others usually wake up and switch them on! Usually.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Misuse of fog lights is realy annoying as well as being illegal. Rear fog lights are, if anything, more annoying, not only for the dazzle but also because it makes the brake lights less obvious.

I must declare an interest being an optician, we sell loads of them - but over many years I can't remember another lens that has had such good reviews from users.
