Bright headlights and speed bumps don’t mix

SIR – The blinding effect of LED headlamps (Letters, March 26) is worsened by road bumps – ironically called “speed cushions” – which raise the angle of the headlights on oncoming vehicles.

One more reason for getting rid of these bumps, which are better described as inverted potholes. Kel Prince

SIR – LED headlights use a lens to create a very focused beam of light. As the vehicle bobs up and down on our potholed roads, it often appears as though they are flashing their lights or on full beam.

Fixing potholes would help all of us. T M Banks

Knutsford, Cheshire SIR – Am I right in thinking that, due to EU regulations, car headlights no longer dip to the left, only down? Michael Cox

SIR – The growing problem of cars with one dead headlamp is partly due to lack of enforcement, as there are very few traffic police now.

However, another major factor has to be the eye-watering cost of replacing high-intensity discharge lamps, which needs to be done at a garage and can take several hours. Bill Parish

SIR – I have found a solution to headlight glare: yellow-tinted clip-on polarised lenses for my spectacles. Night driving is much easier now. Barry Hawkes
