Driving Lessons: Car Headlights Dazzle

How many times do we see cars coming towards us with one of the headlights misaligned, usually the offside one, creating dangerous dazzle. Recent roadside checks have shown that a massive 88% of the fifty cars checked had one or more of its headlights out of alignment. Sometimes this can be as simple as extra passengers in the back of the car or some heavy items that have been put into the boot, this problem can be easily rectified in most modern cars by the in car height adjustment, but how many driver no that this exists, or can be bothered to do it?

Another problem is the motor vehicle that has one of the headlights which has failed, a situation that is illegal and can carry penalties if not rectified. All drivers should check that all their lights are working before driving at night and ensure that the aim of them is correct, adjustments can be carried out at most garages for a small fee, you car will fail its MOT inspection if the lights are not working properly.

You can hopefully now see the importance of the hazard preception test when you take your driving test.
