The newer vehicles use too bright of headlights (in normal i.e. not ‘bright’ mode), which are very white and blinding and could cause accidents. They are worse when it’s raining. It’s like the ‘brights’ are on when it’s just regular mode. Let’s return to the non-blinding, not bright white headlights.

I can’t see anything when I meet those headlights. I’ve been close to hitting someone head on due to those headlights blinded me. I wish they would ban those. No one needs to see clear up a June bug’s behind from miles away. Im pretty sure they can see those headlights from space.

I think trucks sit higher so that is a problem. I think most of this is local ordinance stuff though.

Yes. Totally agree!
The federal government may or may not have jurisdiction in such matters, but they can at least study the topic. It is absurd for lights to be so bright when dozens if not hundreds of drivers and pedestrians are temporarily blinded by them during any given trip. The manufacturers also ought to be publicly shamed for so recklessly increasing the brightness.

Yes I agree. They even get you in the rear view mirrors.

Yes they do. I actually wear a purple tinted pair of sunglasses that are polarized when I drive at night to cut down on the glare so I can somewhat see the road. However if I have someone behind me with those headlights and meet someone that also has them I can’t see anything even with the sunglasses. I have very light sensitive eyes and wear the darkest tinted sunglasses I could get without a prescription during the day. At night I wear a slightly tinted pair.
They are bright. That’s the only way I can see to drive at night though
