Why do motorists have to drive with four headlight! It really winds me up as a cyclist and a motorist!

or with fog lights when it's not foggy

or try to pass themselves off as motorcycles with only one working headlight

Or parking on the wrong side of the road with headlamps blinding oncoming traffic?

This one bugs me as a cyclist and motorists, its incredible dangerous for everyone else on the road

was out cycling tuesday night, on very dark roads around the airport, swords, malahide area... and many drivers failed to dim their headlights upon seeing us (a group of 3)??? so basically, we couldn't see a thing past their blinding lights! muppets.

What about those who start work early, the sun isn't fully out yet and they drive with No lights on, or the same when it's raining and dark ... arrggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

Get better lights, and if necessary direct it straight at them until they dip. Honestly it is very effective, I get 99% compliance even without having to point it at them. On pointing you will in the vast majority of cases get an immediate dip. The flip side of this is that you will have to dip yourself.

If you stay off that side of the road, you should be ok....:)
