The HID systems are really annoying to say nothing of pickups with 
headlights at eye level if you're in a passenger car. I had cataracts 
removed from both eyes last year. Prior to that I was mostly flying blind 
with oncoming headlights.

I'm not big on gadgetry and my Toyota doesn't have remote entry, lane 
keeping, and all that but one thing it does have is automatic headlight 
dimming. In almost all cases it dims the lights when I would manually 
either overtaking or approaching. One quirk is a 20 mph curve on my way 
home that has a lot of reflective signage that will trigger dimming.

iirc Cadillac had something like that about 50 years ago that didn't work 
very well. I assume this system has more intelligence and better sensors.

   The solution to the headlights is easy, and could
   have been done 50 years ago. Crossed polarization
   film - one way for headlights and the other built
   into the windshield. Even a 30-50 percent glare
   reduction would be very useful.

I've had cataract surgery on one eye; the other one is OK so far,
although I suspect it's just about time to have it done.  (Maybe after
my upcoming knee surgery - I'm really getting into "spare parts" mode
these days.)  The difference in colour between the eyes is kind of
weird but not too noticeable.

These days when driving at night I often pull my sun visor down
until all I can see of the car ahead is its bumper and wheels.
That nicely blocks light from oncoming cars.  If someone with
bright headlights (HID, LED, misadjusted halogens, it's all the
same) is behind me, I adjust my side mirror to direct the beam
back into his own eyes.  Not only is it poetic justice, it
discourages tailgating.

I don't take the government too seriously when it comes to road
safety.  There are too many inconsistencies, and probably not a
few kickbacks.

Interesting.  But it's one more gadget I don't need.  I don't find it
that big a hardship to dim my own headlights.  The one gadget I've wanted
for years - and it wouldn't be difficult to implement - is turn signals
that automatically cancel after 30 seconds if the car is in motion.
Or at least click loudly enough to be heard, possibly with a loud
alarm after that 30 seconds.

You mean if you don't actually turn?  There's one intersection where I 
have to be careful. It's more of a branch left and depending on my actual 
path the signal resets or doesn't.

The bikes require reprogramming my brain too. The Harley turn signals 
cancel automatically. With both Suzukis it's a mechanical switch and they 
will stay on forever, even after stopping and restarting the bike.

Yep.  I frequently drive through an intersection like that too.

Oh, that's a tricky one.  Thank goodness major issues like the
placement of clutch and brake pedals has been standardized...

iirc early Brit bikes had the shifter on the right. Of course.

	To the best of my recollection you are correct and I had problems from
moving from my Allstate Twingle 175 cc 2 cycle, made in Austria by Puck, 
Steyr
Daimler to my BSA Single 4 stroke iron head single 500 cc and got a 
ticket as a
result of trying to stop with the shifter instead of the brake pedal.

Still riding. Some year I'll have to park the bikes but not this year. I 
seldom use the foot pedal anymore since front disks became so effective. 
My first bike was a '55 Harley with a cable operated drum brake in front. 
That needed all the help it could get to stop. It was so ineffective you 
didn't get much weight transfer so there wasn't much danger of locking up 
the rear.

My road bike has shifters on both sides. And they double as
brakes.

On a road bike you have to be careful about using the front brake.
Those disk brakes can get pretty grabby.

Disk brakes are less grabby than rim brakes, they tend to offer more 
even retarding force than rim brakes. I think they call it better 
modulation.

My perception is that prior to disk brakes, rim brakes had also got a 
lot better. Better than from when I was a kid. Steel rim brakes were 
very problematic.

Are we talking about motorcycles or bicycles? I have one bicycle with a 
disk brake and I haven't noticed it grabbing. otoh with rim brakes I once 
blew a tube on a long descent when the rim was too hot to touch. At least 
with a disk you don't have that problem.

I read 'road bike' as opposed to 'dirt bike' as a motorcycle.

Riding in a park downhill I suddenly came upon a doe and her fawn.
The disk brakes grabbed hard enough to make me skid and the rear
tire moved sideways.

Once, as a kid, riding on a beach street I suddenly found an accident 
after a curve. I braked hard, with rim brakes. The rear wheel tire was 
eaten by the asphalt till puncturing the inner tube. I noticed that the 
next day.

These were the years of the first time there was crude supply trouble 
(1970?), and there was scarcity of tires. No 500 dia wheels. My father 
managed to put a piece of rubber from another tire in the hole. Later we 
found a white tire, which I hated. I wanted a normal black tire. Girls 
used white.

The Motorcycle Safety Foundation offers several courses. One of the 
exercises is learning to control a rear wheel skid in a simulated panic 
stop. Assuming the front brake is effective the weight transfer is going 
to leave the rear tire very light. It doesn't take much to lock it up and 
have it move sideways.

You get the same effect in four wheel vehicles but the braking systems 
usually are designed to minimize the problem. After a camping trip in 
Vermont's Green Mountains I got back to the trail head, threw my stuff in 
the pickup rapidly since it was raining, and headed off down the road. In 
my absence a porcupine had chewed through a front brake hose and a heater 
hose. The first thing I noticed was the rear brakes on a F150 don't do 
much to slow you down. Then the steam started. I could fix the cooling 
system but getting down the mountain with minimal brakes was fun.

That must be the reason some cars have pipes with a wire mesh wrap :-)

That might deter a porcupine but they would just eat something else. In 
the northeast salt is commonly used on the roads in the winter so most 
vehicles have residue and porkies love salt. They will chew on tool 
handles, outhouse seats, or anything else with salt. Some of the summer 
camps in the Adirondacks started building plywood rowboats for the guests. 
The glue apparently has some form of sodium so the porcupines would 
delaminate the boats over the winter. The North American version is an 
excellent climber so it's hard to keep anything out of their reach.

Ouch.

Over here, the problem are pigeons and wild boars. And rats, of course, 
but we never see them. And cockroaches.

No ice in my corner of the country, so no salt. Except on the sea.

Yeah, sorry, I take road bike to mean a pedal bicycle. Disk brakes are 
relatively recent for pedal bicycles, whereas motorcycles have had disk 
brakes for decades. (I guess they had drum brakes before?) So I assumed 
pedal bicycle.

One thing that has always puzzled me about sporty motorcycles is, why do 
they have two disk brakes on the front wheel. One per wheel is enough 
for my much heavier car.

Do you spend your entire time braking from high speed every 15 seconds?

I was doing about 110mph (before speed cameras were everywhere) when I 
saw a stopped car ahead. By the time I was at 15mph the brakes had 
completely gone.

There was just enough left to stop...
Twin disks have more capacity to absorb heat in a smaller volume.

From an engineering standpoint 2 disks with a smaller diameter may weight 
less than 1 larger one reducing unsprung weight but I would think the two 
calipers would offset that. Buell had a innovative design where the disk 
was bolted to the rim rather than the hub. That gave it a lot more swept 
area and only one was used.

https://www.motorcycleforum.com/threads/crazy-buell-front-brake-discs-yea-
or-nay.82626/

Buell apparently has been reborn. He had worked for Harley and the bikes 
were sold at Harley dealerships but Harley decided they wanted to focus on 
the traditional Harleys.
