Road rash and micro scratching from windscreen wipers can defract the light coming into the car while driving at night, causing you to fall off the road, and blend in with the scenery..
Answer, fit a new screen, you wont believe the difference :rolleyes:

The ink some how stops the smear on the glass that causes the sparklers effect on headlights from other cars?  :smiley:

You're referring to the carbon, as used on lens-pens and the like.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Holiday cottages on the Isle of Wight for 2-10 people? PM me.

Modern cars headlights are too bright, fact. I can barely see anything at night when cars are coming at me, just have to focus on the kerb and try and stick with it. Range rovers are the worst .. xenons and the like should be banned imho, what's the point in lighting the road up like daytime if oncoming cars might crash into you because of it  :rolleyes:

Is the car lowered much?  I find a huge glare differnece between driving my old hilux and the golf. Even when the approaching car is on dipped beam, if your low enough its still bright!

I thought that, it's either the fact that my car is lowered, or where the screen is so old, all the imperfections in it are causing the light to spread and glare. It's really annoying
