We  don't actually need that much light to be able to see at night. What we  
need is for that ambient level of light not to change much, so that our  eyes 
don't need to keep adapting. So the less bright everyone's lights  (and the 
background lighting) are, the better it is for all of us. It  would help if 
we all banned BMWs, Mercedeses and Audis, for a start -  every time one comes 
towards me I am totally dazzled, whatever I am  driving.

I'd generally agree with that point.  A friend and I debated this  awhile 
back, and based on our personal experience driving over the years we came  to the 
same conclusion.  And back in 1971, when I last drove there, London  drivers 
didn't use their headlights.  They drove with parking lights only  and relied 
on the city's street lighting so see.  I spent almost a week  driving in the 
city and never had any trouble seeing others.
