Everyone in Europe can agree on that I guess. I agree with what you say, but the reason I have always heard for their being different codes is that we have different tolerances for glare in oncoming traffic. Personally, I suspect that this is not the whole story, and I see no reason why European drivers should be any more "glare tolerant" than US drivers. I just was hoping to get some independent confirmation from Leon's testing. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
