HeadlightsThis was the right answer

Your headlights must be properly adjusted to avoid dazzling other road users. You might need to do this when carrying a pillion passenger, because the extra weight can cause the headlight beam to aim higher than normal. You may also need to adjust the tyre pressures and the suspension.
