Or you can tell they have one headlight out so they just drive around with their brights on. Then there’s the Carolina squatted little shits driving around with their shite pointed to the sky.

Maybe I'm just getting old, but it seems like there is more people driving at night with their bright lights on

Standard lights on new cars are 10x brighter than 20 years ago. Old people and drivers of small vehicles just assume everyone rides with their brights on, they don't. Some are just bright and other are not angled correctly.

I usually wait until the flashing driver passes me before showing them that my car is capable of replicating the Sun.

I also contend that a lot of people are just too stupid to know how to properly operate the headlight switch

Lots of douchebags get lift kits and dont adjust the angle of their lights.

So are you too dumb to understand they're telling you that your lights are still too bright and maybe they need adjusting?

I get flashed with my low beams on. I turn on hi beams to show them it was low beams and they still get mad and flash over and over


That's because of the change in headlights. Now low beams are bright as older high beams used to be. LEDs need to be toned down a bit.

HiD were bad LED so much worse. Great for the driver because you see better. Worse for incoming traffic

Right….Mississippi discontinued their vehicle inspection program about a decade ago, and it has been wonderful to not have to deal with that money grab.

I am now of the opinion that they need to start it back up again for the sole reason of verifying that headlights are adjusted.

Vehicle inspections are a good thing.

Downvote away but mark my words, you’re going to see a lot more cars without headlights, tail lights, etc.

Its the new lights. They arent all using their brights.



I'm convinced it's 95% this. My wife's standard car lights are so damn bright and she always gets flashed.

LED lights are bright as frick and almost no one has them tilted correctly so they’re not shining right into head on traffic.



We bought my wife's car new. Shouldn't the expectation be they're calibrated correctly? I never thought a stock vehicle (without a lift or mods) should have lights changed.
