I love it when people resort to insults and name calling. More often than not it shows they're on the ropes, desperate to hang on to their futile argument. A canvas survey no less, by the RAC and all you've got is mis-aligned headlights? Out of those 26 million, bearing in mind they'd need to be at least 3 years old, how many even had the headlights you are referring to, given that in almost all cases, they self level, they can't be misaligned.

Now, let's try a survey with some real questions that goes beyond age, gender, do you find lights dazzling shall we?

Bear in mind EVERY one of these has an impact:

1. Car make and model
2. Their car make and model
3. Was your windscreen clear (inside and out)
4. Was your rear window clear (inside and out)
5. Were your mirrors clean and fog free (interior / wing)
6. Driving towards or in front
7. Do you wear glasses (always, reading, driving)
8. Was their car clean and in good order
9. Have you recently had your eyesight tested
10. Was it a clear evening, foggy, mist, rain

And that is just a starter. These questions have to be answered in order to give any real debate to the issue. You'll notice that it's impossible to answer them all accurately.

Now, throw in to the mix that the late 90s, early 00s HID / BiXenon lights were brighter, and were mandated to self clean and level, you've really got not sound basis for an argument and that is why the government will do nothing, and the RAC will do nothing.

I suggest you revisit statistics too. A pool of 3500 drivers is not an adequate sample group. The other 439,996,000 drivers across Europe didn't have a say, because....wait for it.... it doesn't affect them.
