Oncoming car headlights should not blind you. Companies need to stop making these and if they are custom jobs, this should be easy tickets for the police.

Seems kind of consequential to me. But I agree.

This is legislated in the US. Just not enforced and cars became taller since the law was written (-3ft/75ft iirc, may vary by state).

In Scandinavia they actually care about this and high beam use is part of diver training. It’s nice. Also semi trucks will happily blind you with a thousand Suns if you forget. So it’s rare to get blinded in night driving.

The adaptive headlights that fix this are not legal in the US, but in other countries they can be used and will selectively dim parts of their light beams that point at other cars.

But what about pedestrians, cyclists, etc.?

Can probably work with a cyclist with a light. But in any case it’s not as big of a deal as a pedestrian or cyclist. Anyways brighter lights might be safer since the driver can more easily see pedestrians and cyclists.

Yet another thing we’ve fallen behind on.
