please for the love of god can this country please get any kind of public safety measures passed. literally just stick a railing on somewhere that someone might fall off of. pass some toothless legislation. literally anything please
Afaik there are regs that make those lights illegal and require specific alignment of headlights so they don’t blind people, but there’s no enforcement, and people constantly misalign the lights with shoddy installs. idk, I hate it, driving is dangerous enough as it is.
It’d be easy as shit to have a pubic initiative drive for free light adjustment. Pigs could do something useful for once and pull these things over for referral to an adjustment center. But no, we can’t have reasonable things that improve safety. I learned today that Tennessee apparently doesn’t have driver’s training, kids just have an adult sign off that they can drive.
Holy FUCK HOW IS IT BELOW 99%?!! WE’RE THE RICHES GODDAMN COUNTRY IN THE WORLD AND WE HAVE THIS!!! I have friends who live there that want us to come visit and it might force me to come out to them because I have to explain ‘uhh yeah, I don’t want to get arrested for existing’. … I JUST NOTICED THIS ISN’T EVEN THE LOWEST RANKED STATE OHHH MYYYY FUCK!!!
It’s worse than that. Those percentages add up to over 100% – almost 180% in total. And that’s without even counting the innumeracy rate, which isn’t counted, apparently. We take numeracy far more seriously in my state.
I hate daylight savings so fucking much it’s such a stupid concept in the first place but is also backwards from how I’d even want it if we have to do it
Why the fuck would you change it so the sun sets earlier in the winter??? Are you insane? If we’re gonna do the clock moving nonsense it should be later in the winter and earlier in the summer to adjust for the daylight. And then I could stop going home from work in the dark.
“Oh man, it sure is getting dark early here in December. Oh I know, let’s make it worse!”
California has you do a smog check every other year, I think a safety inspection would be nice too (and make it for the whole country). People who are really dedicated to being assholes will work around it, but most people who just don’t realize that they’re blinding everyone else will get their headlights angled downward and then never touch them again.

I sure hope the literacy rate of Tennessee is good enough for them to read the road signs…

>there are 14 states that are even worse

i solved the problem by not going out at night anymore
Can’t be avoided when I leave work after sunset in the winter :(
Which is 4 fucking 30 thanks to stupid goddamn daylight savings time

Do you just move hemispheres every equinox?
no but i am very boring
I am once again asking for funding for a giant rocket booster so we can move the hemispheres to create more equitable weather.
Sounds like the only option is vigilante regulation enforcement.

The UK has this. it’s called an MOT, you need one yearly and it costs about £50
We have the regulation in the Europe.
But high intensity LEDs suck here too. Especially on the freaking SUVs.
Too much blue light, too much light from a small area.
A classic halogen headlights, of course, have disadvantages. But they are more pleasant for the eyes. If only aligned correctly…
Bring back mandatory annual vehicle inspections nation wide.
