The yellow glasses are fantastic. You can buy them cheap at a sporting good
store. I used my shooting glasses for years until yellow glasses became
cool and more common. But the shooting glasses still have the wrap around
spring ear piece that'll keep them on no matter what.

An *emphatic* ditto from me! Even when I drive the Sentra at night, it can
be a painful ordeal! And has anyone else (besides my mechanic and myself)
notice how bright brake lights have gotten on newer cars and SUVs? (And
*Still* people don't see them?!?) Sometimes, if I'm sitting behind one of
those bright brake light vehicles and in front of an SUV with just very
bright low beams-I just want to scream!
I used to like to drive at night, but not any longer. How many have barely
been able to make a turn because the lights coming at you are so bright? Or
been blinded from behind by some neandrethal in a pick-up and not been able
to see in front of them? I sometimes have to flip both my mirrors at night
and drive without them!
Not long ago, I was sitting at a stop sign on at very dark corner near my
house, brights on-and one of those jacked up pick ups was facing me -and
flashed his high beams into my corneas! Like my headlights, a foot off the
ground were even visible to a guy 5 feet off the ground! I did the
unlady-like thing and flipped him the bird.
When I lived in Colorado Springs about 20 years ago, I had a friend who had
decked out his (first model year!) Sirocco (a very cool new car back then!)
with some very bright headlights. He flashed his brights at an oncoming car
and it was a cop who promptly pulled him over and gave him a ticket.
Appearently, at that time there was a law on how bright headlights could
be-and my friend had exceeded that! A very good law, if you ask me.
Someone told me that those yellow tinted glasses help reduce the brightness
of the headlights at night-has anybody tried them?
Rant off,
Thanks guys! ;-)
