Mercedes Benz Estate

It would be great if I could stop slagging of Major Motor Manufacturers and their cars but on my night of from work at about 630PM I was travelling north on the A217 near the Children’s hospital Tadworth. Long before this Mercedes with dazzling headlights drew up beside and passed me could I see it coming from the rear. The personalised registration V 58 was all too easy to recognise. This Mercedes car had not passed me on the outside lane and its lights shone beyond my own as if on main beam.

In my opinion if the driver of this vehicle could not see that he was persecuting other driver’s eyes then he was doing it deliberately as he knew current regulations allowed this to happen.

Readers please take extra special note! My research on this finds that most Drivers when dazzled from behind or by an oncoming car believe the driver has failed to dip his main beam lights. I have found that the xenon lights are actually on dip. Very confusing as you would expect the regulations and the Manufacturers settings to be correct for safe driving. I truly believe my research puts a question mark over the current regulations.

Epilogue:-

Although this vehicle will probably passes all the current regulations. It blooming well dazzled other Drivers and me. So it would be appreciated if you vote to change the current regulation with the link below. Thanks
