Agreed. I wonder, though, if that decreases detail captured. Probably not, since it isn't affecting the camera's sensor. Just skews the details (i.e. license plates, faces, etc.).

Speaking of safety, I just got home from my first ride of the season (I know - I'm a little late). Almost got hit already. Ugh! Hate this area!
