I Have Heard of "Florence Nightingale"
So www.lightmare.org has found its own has found its own “Florence” Researching networking or public relations was not my bag. But my passion is felt by who I research. Sadly if it is you “Florence” that started the voting surge on our petition it came from the loss of a young friend. I thank you most sincerely. I was quite ashamed that my first article covered two pages in Driving Magazine. I found an article on another organisation called www.2young2die.org.uk which only had a quarter of one page in that issue. The article covered a story on young drivers. This is still hard to take in. Quote; 13 Young Drivers die every single week on our Roads in Great Britain between the ages of 15 & 25. The equivalent of a Football team! [I still cannot believe that but it is true] But it is. That article on young drivers will include one of Florence’s friends and be one of 2,600 approximately will have died since that article was written. We at www.lightmare,org hope to save a handful or two of that horrendous 2,600 so there is along way to go. Thanks to our “Florence” we may achieve that “Goal”

Dangerous Running Lights & More
About a year ago I tried to talk to Clive Bull on Dazzling Headlights. They were sold by Motor Dealerships as a Safety feature. Last night 10 1 2011 on http://twitter.com/#!/lbc973 Clive asked about Motoring problems? On air he admitted he has at last noticed them.
The reasons we at http://www.lightmare.org call Daytime lights Dangerous instead is Manufacturers have made them brighter in our opinion without proper consultation of Drivers of all ages. Many Cyclists and Children find the new brightness distracting and this has been proven to be so in Austria causing Mandatory withdrawal of DRL,s to reduce the accidents of these vulnerable groups.
All new Cars in the United Kingdom will be fitted with Dangerous Running Lights! Our opinion and that of Ophthalmologists has been ignored sadly.

High Intensity Discharge or xenon’s [said zenon] have been researched and described by many as “Hideous” Intensity Discharge that hurt the eyes with a bluish white tint that can make eyes Discharge water to protect them from the searing Intense Light. Temporary blindness will be a problem too many Drivers which put the more senior of us in a vulnerable position as the eyes take to recover with age. How can these lights be a Unique Selling Point for Road Safety when it is clear they are only of good use to those “Driving” with them and not those that have to deal with them?
