Amazon went back to the 10 minute useless break. It was 15 mins during the pandemic. They are strict about the 30 min meal break. Clock in /out for the 10min break. You can’t even walk to the bathroom and back in 10 mins.

I have also witnessed a lot more people simply driving with their high beams on even in the city. Sometimes (roughly like 1 a week) a car behind me will be blinding me in my rear view mirror and when they pull up next to me at a stoplight I can see the high beam symbol on their dash. On a few occasions I have rolled down the window and pointed that out to them and I have been met with “yeah I know.”

It’s not just you. It’s everywhere and I too hate it. I try to avoid driving at night but that’s impossible this time of year. I think people need to be responsible and check the brightness of their lights. I’ve found shifting my rear view mirror so it reflects back at the person behind me has been helpful. One person tried to lower their lights and only turned it off. It was at that moment I think they realized how bright their normal lights were. It wasn’t even their high beams. But short of holding a mirror to flash oncoming traffic, there’s nothing to do but hope you don’t crash. Maybe once enough people die from it then something legislative will happen. Since that seems to be how the government works.

Its becoming pretty normal for cars to use LEDs. I hate it. I never had a problem with night blindness until the last few years, and I know its from all the lights. Granted I have an astigmatism in my right eye, but I live in a rural area where its bright and clear and not dark at all when its just me on the road and I refuse to switch to LED lights, they're so unnecessary.
