Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | While driving in extreme dark conditions (eg on a poorly lit country road), with the headlights on, a well demarcated veil of darkness covers approximately 50% of the front windshield (ie the top half). This curtain-like veil obstructs the driver's vision, to the point that he/she must look "under" the curtain of darkness to clearly see the road. If, however, the bright lights are turned on, vision is much improved (although one can faintly see the darkened top half of the windshield). Not only is this situation uncomfortable, but it is dangerous. |
