If you drive at night with a dirty windshield you will notice the
appearance of what looks like a beam of light emanating from bright
lights. I noticed that these beams appear to be converging on my left
kneecap. can someone explain this phenomenon? my windshield is curved.
(convex)

I know where a windscreen normally is. And the cars are apparently coming
from in front. But if you drive like my sister, your knee could be
anywhere!
