Two nights ago I was driving on two lane dippy roads in rural PA for the first time since cataract surgery last summer. It's a lot different from the fairly flat street lit area where I live. The headlights on newer cars are too bright and too scattered to not blind oncoming traffic, especially on hilly roads. You could always see cars coming the other way before they reach the crest of a hill by their headlights lighting up the trees and phone poles. We used to always dim our lights before reaching the crest to avoid blinding the other guy, but that seems to be a forgotten courtesy. Now git offa my lawn ya whippersnappers.
