One in four dazzled drivers plan to cut back or quit night driving as the clocks go back this weekend

A third of dazzled drivers say oncoming headlights temporarily blind them, according to an RAC survey of 1,208 motorists. One in seven admit they have narrowly avoided a collision. Overall, 83 per cent are worried about glare before Sunday's clock change. Three-quarters of those affected say the problem is getting progressively worse.

A government-commissioned study by consultancy TRL found glare from brighter headlights is a 'genuine issue'.

Nearly half of dazzled drivers struggle to judge where oncoming vehicles are on the road.

Larne Dorman, 54, says the clock change 'narrows the window' in which she can leave home.
