Voice your opinion on headlight glare/brightness night driving at Transport Canada's survey:

Transport Canada wants to learn how headlight glare affects road users and what vehicle or lighting features may influence how people experience it at night.

Here is an article about the brightness of headlights. I hear this every day from my patients young and old! The new ones are too bright and shine right in the oncoming driver's eyes. Sounds like Transport Canada is going to review it and hopefully (someday) make some regulations.

Modern headlights are brighter than ever, but the glare experienced by other drivers has never been worse and experts says regulations need to catch up.

Enjoy the nice weather everyone!
Here's an article reminding parents to send their kids outside to prevent them becoming near-sighted. It doesn't have to be in the direct sunshine, shade or cloudy days are just as good.
