The very first time I used my headlights for night driving I was totally amazed at the fact that you have very little field of vision. There is almost a curtain like affect and depending on the road you are traveling there is sometimes as little as 20 feet of vision. It is all but impossible to drive at night safely with this vehicle. If you live on back roads (as I do) it is not safe to drive at night. This car is just days old and I can only drive it during the day.
