I'm nearly ready now to come back again

If you are driving directly behind someone at night, please turn your headlights off main beam.

Motorcyclists, this means you too.

Seconded.

One thing I occasionally find problematic is that some modern halogen headlights are so bright even in normal, dipped mode that it's still possible to be dazzled by them coming the other way. Particularly annoying on unlit roads at night, where a sufficient quantity of oncoming BWMs can render the actual road completely invisible.

I'm glad you said that -- I was wondering if it was just me being inexperienced, and 'real' drivers got used to that.

I'm also noticing more and more that some headlights are very prone to looking like they're flashing when the driver goes over a speed bump. This seems to be getting more common - though maybe it's just the increase of speed bumps! - which is worrying.

It always makes me paranoid because I'm convinced the driver behind me is flashing to tell me I'm doing something incredibly stupid, or my nearside wheel has fallen off, or something.
