NCT all new cars please! At least their headlight aim...

All new cars should have to pass a NCT Lite (no pun intended!) to check their dipped beams are set correctly. Only forcing the NCT on cars more than 4 years old is unfair on those road users who are constantly blinded by new car owners driving behind them with their headlights incorrectly aligned. This issue will not be caught for 4 years; that's 4 years of potential blinding for every new car on the road. Partly to blame are the "levelling" devices on the dash designed for adjusting your lights if you are towing a heavy trailer, for example. Some owners just think this is an "improve my lighting" switch, and wind it up to the max, thus placing their car in an NCT-fail state. Correctly aligned dipped beams should only light the tyres and bumper of the car in front of you. Most new cars that drive behind me manage to light all three rear-view mirrors, and the ceiling of my car! C'mon people, if you can't work it out for yourselves (oh look, the guy in the car in front of us has his hand over the rear-view mirror. How can we see that so clearly? Hmm...), then it's time for legislation.
