HID Headlights...a nuisance

I was driving home last night and ran across a car with HID headlights along sucat road. For a moment there I was blinded by the high beam emitted by the oncoming vehicle. This isn't the first time this happened to me. On some ocassions, motorcycles with HID blinded me the same way as cars. Frankly speaking, I do believe these things should be banned from the streets as they can really cause accidents. I do not blame those who buy HIDs for wanting to have brighter lights at night but it shouldn't be at the expense of others. I myself have considered acquiring one but was deterred because i now for a fact how any oncoming drivers I come accross at night will feel. So Im not buying for the simply reason that i dont want to inconvenience anyone. We are already in the 21st century and we have survived with halogen lights driving on the streets...i dont see any reason why we need to change the lighting systems in our car. Will it save energy or fuel? i believe not. So why the need to use this headlamp. If your objective is to promote safety on the streets think again because this isnt the solution. To all HID users out there...open your eyes!
