It's not like motorists are going around relying on their night-adapted vision alone.

On the MUP, sure. Worry about your impact, because some of your fellow MUP users are going ninja and are relying on their night-adapted vision, with feeble lights or none at all. I just stay the heck away from the MUP, fortunately I have other options here.
Great video. Thanks.

I'm also wondering how the beam focus affects some of these impressions....
