Given that motorcycle drivers are situated at a higher point than car drivers, driving at night can they be dazzled by cars driving in the opposite direction?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The driving position on a motorcycle is usually higher than in a car. This height can cause the driver to receive the light beam from oncoming vehicles more directly. The risk of glare increases considerably if the helmet visor is dirty or scratched. A visor in poor condition scatters the light, drastically worsening night vision.
