A very interesting reference document. It is now in my favourites. As to
driving in the dark, I think a lot depends on your age. I don't know if
it is a general physical degradation in your night time vision, or just
a perceived thing. What I do know is that I am a lot less comfortable
now driving in the dark, than I was 20 years ago....


It is age related. I read somewhere that, by the time you are 80, you
have night vision equivalent to a 20 year old wearing dark sunglasses.


and another problem is that cataracts tend to cause flare from bright
lights.
