Also every new vehicle with the ultra bright LED headlights anywhere that hills or bumps exist because the beam cutoff is a millimeter below retina burning height I swear.
As someone with a car from '07 it basically makes it impossible to drive safely at night, especially on really dark nights. There are points where you just straight up can't see because you're being blinded by someone coming towards you, not to mention your eyes just don't adjust to the dark anymore since it's happening more and more often.
Even new sedans have a bad time with all the SUVs and pickup trucks. There's not much you can do when the headlight is higher than the highest part of your vehicle.
It's a shame because I don't need the space, don't want to spend the extra money for gas + purchase price, but am risking my safety by not driving one of those monstrosities.
My general solution is to just not drive at night. Why do we subsidize these SUVs and pickup trucks by exempting them from emissions regulations?
Yeah, I can't count the amount of times where I assumed someone was flashing their lights at me, askesd myself what the fuck that fucker wanted just to notice that they were going over miniscule bumps in the road.... And I can only assume that my vehicle has done the same to soo many people as well...
I would like to buy a F150 Lightning if I could ever afford one, but changing out the lights would be an absolute necessity.
