And now I've seen it all ...

I've used the Parent & Child spaces when taking my father shopping and all the disabled ones were taken (he had a Blue Badge). I was quite looking forward to being challenged either by a parent or the store but I wasn't.

B-) Glad that my theory has made correct assumptions. Is it just me or is the number of vehicles with HID lights dropping?

And leave it like that?

The vast majority of vehicles I see with headlights that 'dazzle' ain't just one headlight, but both. So my opinion is it's down to poor headlight design and or setting - not an owner changing a bulb incorrectly.

you don't "rent" the trolley - you put down a deposit and get it back afterwards.

Whether there is a gradual reduction of the beam at its limits isn't down to halogen or HID, etc. It's design of the optics. Those that have a sharp cutoff have a french flag somewhere. Sometimes in the bulb itself, sometimes outside it.

I believe some vehicles now have LED headlights. But I doubt again that will make any intrinsic different to the 'dazzle' - that is more down to the optics again.

Tesco, Sainsburys, and Morrisons all use 'trolley rent'.

Watch for your reflection in shop windows. That way you can check brake lights as well.

I thought they'd made a law against that sort of thing, isn't it called Ohms law ;-)

I have the same approach with my students, when I see them strugging to pull the door open I say if you read the instructions on the door which says "push" it'll be easier to open :-) hours of fun

He doesn't seem to be aware that the resistance of a lamp filament increases greatly as its temperature rises from ambient to operating temperature.

You and I both know that this is what generates the switch on surge.

HID lamps have their own switch-on problems, of course.

I have a choice of 4 supermarkets. Two don't have this trolley rental nonsense.

I would have lost my temper with someone who suggested such a longwinded= method.

Couldn't they just give you a quid off your card? If it was a debit car= d it's just a cash withdrawal. If it was a credit card they might have = wanted to charge you a small fee for the bank.

You'll find them in difficulties when faced with a lift then. ;-)
