If that many people are flashing lights at you assuming your brights are on, you’re the common denominator there.

Alot of it is SUV/Truck lights. With them higher and using LED or other types, it leads to issues.

Trucks just need to be forced to angle their lights down. This should be a regulation, but trucks gonna truck.

All winter, there was a truck that would come the opposite way to go to work at the mine.

Between his lift and ridiculously bright aftermarket bulbs, it was brighter than frickin daytime. Could see his glow 1/4 mile away. And not shite when he was across from me.

Lol. Their assumption about the blame resting on your shoulders seems to be 100% correct in this case.

Your lights have dimmer switches?

Work truck is a 2023 Silverado. I turned off the auto dim option after the first time I drove at night, and they would stay on bright too long.

Wife had a new Toyota that we drove for months before I figured out were not set by the factory properly.
I YouTube how to fix.
Most ppl are just ignorant. (See all the people driving in the left lane)

My thought process for never dimming my headlights is that they'll go out if I dim them and I won't be able to see the road. I never use the high beams.

I’ll usually flash mine to give them a warning. If they don’t turn theirs off I’ll flip mine back on and keep driving with them on until I pass them. Just play chicken with high beams basically. Nothing pisses me off more than someone driving at me with their brights
