| Anyone been flashed Yes the new Octavia does have brilliant headlights, but has anyone been flashed regularly by oncoming traffic due to being dazzled by them. This happened to me on trip home from Skeg Vegas last night on the A18 towards Humberside Airport. Car had two adults in front and two kids in the rear so not fully laden. |

| I've not had that at all, though I am regularly having cause to flash others with badly aligned lights!
