Why don't road users understand that HGV drivers often struggle to see other vehicles in their blind spot?

May I congratulate you on a balanced reply to the letter headed "Invisible touch" from DH. It is always easy to blame the other guy. Road safety could be much improved if we all understood a little more...

Will you run a made-up question in your column to help us pressure the government over compulsory eye examinations?

Do you think that Xenon headlights are too bright?

Even my son who is 14 and shoots for his army cadets (and so has good young eyesight) says he doesn't like the glare of modern Xenon headlights. Nor do I. I used to like driving at night but now it seems...
