how about driving at night with the lights off and wearing night vision goggles?
a few years ago, a friend of my oldest son came up to our cabin for the weekend with us. he worked at litton systems in mesa that at the time made the night vision goggles for the military that were used for pilots to fly at night. so very very high end units. as an employee he was able to check out 3 pair of stereo goggles that were rejects to use for the weekend. we went quad riding at night when there was no moon and it was pitch dark. it was absolutely amazing. you could see like it was daylight (if daylight was green) and when you looked at the quad you could see the exhaust gasses flowing through it.
we rode for several hours in amazement and spotted lots of critters.
anyway, if you want to spend $100k on a pair of night vision goggles, you might consider it.
not sure what other vehicles or the police would think about it, but you would be able to see just fine.
no reflections from your headlights.....ha
