Four in five drivers worry about being dazzled by headlights

FOUR out of five drivers (82%) are concerned about being dazzled by vehicle headlights as evenings become darker earlier, a new survey has indicated.

The poll of 1,701 regular UK drivers, commissioned by the RAC, also suggested the brightness of some headlights is the most common reason for people feeling nervous when driving in the dark.

The clocks went back an hour on Sunday, resulting in the sun setting earlier each day and more post-work journeys being in darkness.

A Government-commissioned report into headlight glare by consultancy TRL is expected to be published shortly.
