Can it also be don’t turn on your brights if you are driving towards someone time? I swear, the combo of the new super bright headlights plus people turning their brights on is more dangerous than people think.

I would dearly live to outlaw those ridiculously bright led headlights. Or at least require that they be aimed correctly instead of directly into my retinas.

The newer Subarus are like this- I drive one and I fucking hate it. Folks flash their brights at me and I feel terrible because I used to drive a lower-to-the-ground car and these lights genuinely feel dangerous. I called the dealership and they said that 1) they won’t adjust them, 2) if I adjust them, it will void my warranty, and 3) “if people flash their brights at you, just flash your brights back to let them know we’re living in the new era of LED headlights” - quoted verbatim lmfao. So gross. What can I do?

Cool because everyone can afford a new car /s

I'm sorry that you have to feel like a jerk when driving, that is such an obnoxious response. Was it from Kendall?

Right?? It icked me out. Yeah, it was at Kendall, about two years ago. :/ Whenever my warranty is up, I plan to have the headlights angled lower.
