    I was just talking with a buddy of mine yesterday , and he had a lot to say about the blue lights coming at him .
    He owns a cab company , and all his drivers have the same opinion .
    They all hate those blue lights .

    He runs halogens in all his cars .

    Since I explained the physics of it , he now knows why he hates them .
    Earlier in the day , he said he got out of his car at a stop light to tell the guy behind in the SUV , that he was being completely blinded by his headlights .

    I just thought I'd throw this in , as Starter hadn't heard of anyone else hating them .
    These particular professional drivers all say they hurt thier eyes .

    Good article , Dave .

    I thought I'd mention , though , that the problem is worse for old folk , but still a problem for younger ones .

    It's worse for old folk , so it's really bad for those driving towards old folk , as they are the one's more likely to be less capable drivers to begin with .
    Since there are usually more of them than deer on the road , I think it's maybe a little smarter , unless you live in the bush , to go halogen .
