    Most of the cars do that because they have fully tinted windshields. They can't see sh*t at night. I had a Honda Civic that had that problem. Ripped that crap of the windshield after the first time diving at night.

    I do most of my driving at night (after 10pm) and have never really had a problem. Most of my near accidents, and the one motorcycle accident I did have, was during the day. More idiots on the road during the day. Now, I won't drive on highways at night because you never know what's parked in the middle of the road around the corner. City driving below 60kph really isn't much of a problem though.

    This bit got moved and it was my fault but thought it was worth posting as it seems to me that it could happen to many.
    There was an Accident on the main road to Valencia in Junob Last night in that a Trike out Late 9pm ish Hit a lorry that did not have any Driver's side lights working, apparently (according to a neighbour) the trike Driver thought it was a Motorcycle approaching as he only saw 1 set of lights I guess he was one lucky Guy who saw the Bulk of the Wagon at the last Moment. (very Badly Lit part of the Road there) Many times I have see near misses at the Entrance to the Bagacay Cemetery at Junob Exit. Day and Night ( But more so late Evening)

    The prices have come WAY DOWN since I bought mine! I originally paid $50.00AUD for mine, this is EXACTLY like mine and now available for $7.85!!
    10000LM Zoom XML T6 LED 18650 Headlamp Torch Headlight Rechargeable Head Lamp BA | eBay

    Now you can buy brighter LED Headlamps in place of my 10000LM Headlamp (States in the Features section of the one I bought: Lumens: 6000Lumens)

    I would advise you buy (ALWAYS check Sellers feedback comments!) the brighter rating and make sure it uses re-chargable Batteries you can buy replacements for, I bought 4x spare 18650 3.7V Batteries just down the road from McDo's (opposite Jollibee) to go with the multi-purpose adjustable Charger I bought from ebay that charges AA/AAA/ 1.5V & 18650 3.7V Batteries...

    DOUBLE CHECK in the Features as you do not always get what is advertised, but one of these which leaves you hands free is ideal to carry with you in your Car/Bike/Man bag/Hand Bag or keep by your bedside at night...

    I have even seen some LED Torches that can set fire to paper they are so bright! GREAT if you like the outdoors! :biggrin:
