True there are some serious restrictions on HID bulbs here in the UK due to glare for oncoming drivers. They have to be self leveling and have washers for example.

Pet hate of mine, more so on the motorbike in rain, is people coming the other way with badly aligned headlights dazzling you.

I know people who go into the MOT (annual compulsory vehicle safety check) with their lights set to the lower limit, then as soon as they exit they raise them back up to blind everyone. Don't know if you US guys have the saying, "I'm alright jack"
