If you say I hate the automotive designers who can’t design properly angled headlights, I’m criminalizing your shit take too
Gas-powered leaf blowers should be banned, or at least heavily regulated
Oh and personal ownership for pickup trucks should require proof of need. Otherwise, have a communal pool that people can borrow from on the off chance they are actually hauling something
Pick ups should at least only come bare bones. If you have a fancy interior, it’s bot ment for work, therefore you don’t need it. Same with supercars. Oh your car has to be obnoxiously loud because you need a v10 on the road? No you don’t, go to a racetrack. Oh wait, they have noise regulations there too.
Loud motorcycles and cars should be banned
In most places they are, but cops don’t give 2 shits about enforcing it to the point that nobody knows there are dB limits to vehicles
I had a shitbox with a piece of pipe I welded on after the exhaust fell off once (it was fully legal and passed state inspection). I got pulled for driving the speed limit and the cop told me I was breaking noise ordinance. I ask which ordinance and all they did was fume at me that they can’t “name it off the top of their head”. I’m sure the cop never pulled over someone in a giant diesel truck or a 100k sports car for making noise.
I think we should give this communism thing a shot, non-politically
non-political opinion
those don’t exist
The angle thing is bullshit. Yes, it makes the problem worse, and it should be dealt with, but no matter how well you angle things it won’t help when someone crests a hill and blinds me
I see your hot take and I’ll raise you one though: We should mandate a return to sealed beam headlights. You get no choice. There are 2 designs of headlight and the car manufacturer gets to figure out where they want to fit one of those two designs on their car.
Reject modernity, return to tradition
Sealed beam was great because you could easily replace every bulb on your car. The modern design where you sometimes need to totally remove the housing just causes issues where it’s too expensive or difficult to replace headlights.
You could even split the difference and have LED sealed beams that can be traded in and refurbished for a discount on new headlights.
Some cars only offer headlights as complete sealed units that cost hundreds of dollars. This, in and of itself, should be a crime.

100%! The problem with LED headlights isn’t actually the LEDs, it’s the brightness, color temp and layout, all of which are totally fixable in the proper housing.
And oh my god replacing headlights in modern cars can be such a pain in the ass. I had to replace the lights in my ex’s Prius a few years ago and it’s a nightmare. One of them is easy, the other is in an annoying corner behind other wires so you have to bend your hand in an unnatural way to get it in. The best method would be a 6 year old with unnaturally high grip strength.
