I agree with you on the dazzling bit. As I'm in my mid 60's I think it's age related. The thing that really hacks me off is the people who drive with there fog lamps on when there not necessary. On the subject of lights a lot of car manufacturers now fit front running lights. The dash board lights are on all the time as well so, when its dark unless you physically turn on your lights or there in auto mode you think your lights are all on. ( If you know what I mean ) That's why you see a lot of cars now with no rear lights on.
I personally think this is just pure laziness of drivers and not the technology at fault. I personally never use AUTO mode. I leave DRLs on or manually activate side lights as I belt up. I then use the switch to turn the lights onto dipped beam if/when required manually and switch off when parking up. Old school, simple, me in control.
This is just so that I can be 100% sure which stage of lighting is switched on with no second guessing.
