What he said :) Besides the halo appearing at where it shouldn't in the
streetlights, there are some distracting coincidences: Lightpost with
exhaust pipe and the reflection of the roadside with itself. Plus it would
be nice to give the viewer some clues about movement: Exhaust, road dust and
gravel, tilted mudflaps, motion blur... For added realism, you can check out
some actual headlight patterns.
