the beam facing traffic points down, the one facing the side points up, which is of course an issue when you visit an island who decided to drive on the other side :D
- epiphonium 4y agoYep, that's why it's a legal requirement that if you take a UK car to mainland Europe, you need to put some stickers over the edge of your headlights so you don't blind oncoming drivers: https://www.euromotoring.uk/beam-deflectors-GB-sticker https://www.euromotoring.uk/beam-deflectors-GB-sticker
- uhtred 4y agoWouldn't that mean that headlights seem to be more blinding in the UK, which they don't?
- Glawen 4y agocars sold in the UK have headlight and steering wheel on the other side..
- oakesm9 4y agoIf you take your car from the UK to mainland Europe (or vica versa) then you're required by law to fit headlamp beam adapters[0]. These essentially point both your headlights down to avoid blinding people who are now on the "wrong" side of the road. It does make it lightly harder to see forwards, but avoids blinding other drivers.
