DAZZLING HEADLIGHTS
pXfRMERIjY the question was whether motorists should or should not dim their lights when they approach each other. Now that is a problem no longer because it has been decided that it is desirable not to dim headlights. This decision lias, however, created another problem associated with night driving, and that is the dazzling effect of high candle-power headlights. These strong lights temporarily blind the motorist on whom the lights play, and during that period of temporary blindness an accident may quite easily happen. The danger has been sufficiently demonstrated over a long enough period now and steps should at once be taken to solve this important problem.
