Not all bad then

The Hamster seems to be a decent chap, and he does like to take the [censored]
out of Jezzer. He's a cyclist too - it's just that his bikes have large
engines. :-)

Or rather, his wife seems like a decent chap-ess, collecting him from
hospital and all that. Prolly felt guilty after they'd seen Clarkson
chain-saw the tree down right into the poor blokes path.

Good job the cyclist wasn't hurt to badly, but bet he'll slow down next
time he's dazzled and can't see anything 🙂

When I get dazzled by oncoming traffic on a single carriageway I tend to
head straight for the light, on the basis that the road between me and
the dazzler is well illuminated, the driver might figure out that he's
the reason I can't really see where I'm going, and if he doesn't I will
at least worry or annoy him.

....or end up as roadkill 'cos he's not expecting you to be riding
straight towards him ;-)

I agree with Rob. I've found that heading straight for the light,
shielding my eyes with one hand, seems to get the message across. It
really can be impossible to locate the side of the road with some of
these powerful headlights they're using now.

Me 2. Though I do sometimes veer towards the middle and just stop with
my hands over my eyes. I had on numpty get within 10m, slowing down all
the while to almost walking pace till he worked out why I had stopped
there..

Grrr..

The attitude of some seems to be that we can't dazzle them so why should
they dip - a bright highly focussed helmet light might convince them
otherwise. :-)

I have found the above to be a useful attribute of the light I have attached
to my night 'lid' :-)
