Narrative

There have been ongoing complaints about the headlights on this car. I avoid driving my car at night due to the fact that visibility is compromised. I had a SERIOUS near miss while driving at night. I was driving on a residential street and did not see a bicyclist going the same direction. The bicyclist veered slightly into my lane and I literally DID NOT see them. Causing me to clip their rear tire causing them to loose control and hit a curb. This is SERIOUS! The police said the headlights on my car were clearly a hazard! In my mind it would make sense for GM to replace the headlights rather than having to pay for a wrongful death lawsuit.
