Shit people on trains don’t have to deal with, volume 41,872.

And fuck the manufacturers for making headlights as bright as nuclear fusion.

    Recently bought a new vehicle and the headlights were adjusted about 2 feet higher than legal (at 50 feet distance). That can be a large part of the problem. If you are getting flashed by people for your normal beams, look this up online and correct it.

      Yeah absolutely this is an issue - people’s low beams are adjusted to point too high (not dipped enough toward the road). Also people get LED lights or high power halogens installed and don’t even think about the beam height.

      I’m increasingly getting blinded by oncoming traffic while driving in the city. They haven’t got their high beams on, but they drive high vehicles and the low beams are not dipped correctly. Head on and also people behind me reflecting in my side mirrors.

      It’s happening 2-3 times on a 15 min commute for me, and for the first time in my life I’m getting scared about night driving.
