REVscene Automotive Forum - View Single Post - HIDs... do the police actually care? (if so, how to report serious offenders?)

When I'm on my bike in the dark on a rainy night. If the oncoming traffic has high HID or if they are on a pickup, the reflection off the beads of light means that I might not be able to see for about 1.5 seconds or so.

It's not cool.

I don't really have a problem or with the housing. My biggest concern is when they are pointed super high (or mounted on a raised pickup).

My eye position is almost 2 feet higher than most drivers on the road, yet I'm still getting hit in the eyes bad. I just wish an officer would sit on lougheed and just hand out tickets non stop.

I figured, 2 officers, 1 week. And that should put a huge dent in the problem.

Can this be done?
