re: Bright head lights

I’m old enough to remember when it was rare to see someone riding along with their bright lights on. Now it’s like 20-30% of vehicles on the road. And you can flash your brights at them and they just keep trucking along. It’s almost like they accidentally turned them on at some point and are too stupid to know how to switch back to low beams.

My rides have auto-dim.

My vehicle’s lights are already super bright and people think I’m riding around with my brights on. I’ll get flashed by at least 40% of others at night and I don’t do anything since they’re already on low beams. If they flash twice I’ll turn my brights on and leave them on. That shite pisses me off.

They are on their sailfoam. Don’t you have any tolerance?

Adaptive headlights have been a thing for a while. Are they still making vehicles without them?

I have. 2017 F150 2wd, completely stock I never use high beams but I get flashed like in on high beam all the time……lights a so much better today than they were 20 years ago. Speaking for myself, it’s rare to encounter truly blinding lights, but often see very bright lights. I think some of the angst is just get off my lawn thinking.

I think a lot of newer vehicles have low beams that are as bright, or brighter, then older vehicle high beams. I think the inspection sticker is stupid, but if they added a test for low beams having a maximum brightness, I would be in favor of it. There are a lot of times on some of the smaller back roads to my house that I have to rely on just knowing the road for a couple seconds because I can't see shite due to the assholes with bright lights.

Lot of vehicles have automatic high beams. The sensors are often no better than people when it comes to turning them off to approaching traffic.
