The RAC branded the issue a 'glaring problem'

Bev Turner says she has "definitely noticed" brighter headlights amid calls for the Government to take action on the issue.

The RAC branded the issue a "glaring problem" and asked for an independent study into the issue of headlight glare.

It believes headlights appear brighter on modern cars because their use of LED rather than traditional halogen bulbs creates a more intense and focused beam, which improves a driver’s view but can be to the detriment of other road users.

Other potential factors include badly aligned headlights and the increase in the number of cars that sit higher on the road, such as SUVs.

The survey of 2,000 UK drivers suggested 89% think some car headlights are too bright.

After reading out the views of GB News viewers, Bev Turner spoke about instances she has noticed the issue.

"Particularly with elderly people, they say they don't want to come over in the evening because I don't want to drive at night", she said.

"Some people are speaking about getting special glasses to drive at night to stop the dazzle.

"I think I might have to get some because I've definitely noticed it."
