Does anyone else notice this?

With the auto light feature and xenons on my Octy, the lights do sometimes come on during the day when its getting a bit dull, or in shady tree lined roads when no other cars will have their lights on (except Volvos!). So when my lights are on I notice drivers coming the other way tend to drift towards the centre line. Why?

I know its a nice looking Skoda! But surely thats not the answer! Is there some underlying human reason that draws them to light?

I think i had my lights on when i had my accident. Someone going the other way came on to my side of the road and hit me, and i have xenons, maybe maybe she was attracted to my lights! You might have have rumbled something here!

Why not drive with lights on all the time?

In Denmark we have to drive with the lights on all the time, which i find is a good thing.

Because it wastes energy and doesn't achieve much for cars in daylight

Maybe the color shift you see from xenons (at the light cut off point) catches people's eyes which means they lose concentration and wander for a split second. :rubchin:

it's a waste of electricity..... i wonder how many people would fall for it if they fitted coin meters in the car:P

are they mesmirised by the pretty rainbow effect or the secret hypnotic trick lol

I had this the other day.

Bright sunshine, under some trees so lights on dipped, back into sunshine and some woman in a Volvo S40's heading right for me n(straddling the line) before snapping out of her daze, and moving back onto her half of the road!

Then she flashed ME!

I find myself consciously drawn to cars with Xenons, or at the least, staring at them as they come the opposite way.

Quite worrying really...
