I would beg to differ. I want my light on the road. Not on a driver's face. Even my helmet light is aimed at the ground 30 to 40 feet in front of me. If the light is aimed at a driver's eyes, it's not doing its job. I can aim my helmet light at a driver's eyes, and I have, but that's only when they are doing something stupid that could get me squished.

Most cyclists I meet at night are aiming their lights in a similar fashion.
