Hey State Police! When are you going to get it? Those bright lights are BLINDING! They distort the entire roadway. Add a little construction, maybe some rain and you have a recipe for disaster. I drive home on 128 every night at midnight. I know the road, am sober, and I still cant always follow the path of travel due to the lights. I am all for details but there has to be a better way to show your presence.
