The law says any off road lights must be cover when on streets. Like I said if will had reasonable law enforcement maybe some of the obnoxious offenders would be ticketed. But not going to happen.

seriously, it was just a plausible explanation, not a personal indictment of my driving.

yes, i agree with kathy spears,
yes, i think human vanity keeps people from doing the best for others for selfish, narcissistic reasons

Yet, but they will.

Not fear. Abject terror. I can't even handle an eye exam without anxiety. I can't handle anyone coming near my eyes with anything at all. That blue light thing? Can't do it. They have to skip that part.

Wishful thinking that you eye site will not get worse. If you got cataracts now there only going to get worse.

I already went over this. Also didn't say it won't get worse. I said I probably won't need surgery to correct it. It's not wishful thinking. Cataracts are not one-size-damages-all. Some have slow degeneration, some fast, some in between. Mine are slow. I've had "the beginnings" of cataracts for 10 years. They haven't progressed at all, so far. They are exactly as they were 10 years ago.

They will of course get worse over time. But as I already specified up-thread, and I'll say it again: my doctor (a licensed ophthalmologic surgeon) told me that by the time I actually needed surgery, I'd probably be dead from old age.

In addition, I never said my eye sight would not get worse. You don't need cataracts to have less than perfect vision.

I don’t have take time to read all you posts, that would eat up majority of day. But what I do read you seem to know everything.

There does seem to be a variety of lights out there. Some so dim that the only purpose they serve is to let a cart coming in the opposite direction know you're there, others waaaay too bright. Not just carts but automobiles too.

I have a real problem when an oncoming vehicle has those bright blue headlights that look like an electric arc. As far as I am concerned they should be banned: blue light destroys night vision. They may help the driver see better but they might very well confuse and disorient oncoming traffic.
