Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Headlights on many vehicles are mounted at a level equal to the eye level of a person driving a standard passenger vehicle, thereby causing substantial glare, reducing ability of the passenger vehicle driver to see beyond the oncoming vehicle with the high-mounted headlights. the glare is equally distracting when the vehicle with the high-mounted lights is at the rear of a standard passenger vehicle. i implore congress to pass legislation restricting the height of headlights, or other lights projecting a beam to the front of the vehicle, to be lower than eye level of drivers in standard passenger type vehicles. such a restriction will also aid drivers of the trucks and suv's that have the high-mounted lights because in fog or snow conditions the high-mounted lights reflect glare back into the sight of the driver. *jb
