I’ll join you!! I’m so tired of driving around with big sunspots in my eyes. It’s dangerous

In my recent experience almost every Tesla model 3 appears to have their brights on all the time. I can be looking at a big line of oncoming cars and see a few that seem to have their brights on…they’re almost always all Tesla Model 3’s.
I’ve also heard a rumor that some people don’t like the auto-high beams because they flip on/off too much, so they put tape over the light sensor. That would keep the high beams always on. I can definitely see people doing something this dumb

Most people don’t know you can adjust your headlights and where they aim—not high beams.

Our state supreme court already decided Cannabis intoxication laws with no basis in science are fine, I’m not super hopeful

Can they take the city bus from Silverdale to SeaTac? No. No, they can't.

Yea, I don't count high beams when the car is coming over a rise and is angled up relative to me.
That said, lots of cars, including newer Toyotas and Teslas, seem to have lights angled upwards more than others, or the drivers actually use high beams thoughtlessly.

That's certainly what someone 81+ would say.

It's also called people failing to turn off their high beams. People often don't understand how to use them or forget to turn them off.

Buy a Porsche. Angle the headlights up, so we have the same problem. 😂

Our local ambulances have those LED lights *and* the elevation to point them right at my retina. I must have blinked my high beams at them half a dozen different occasions before learning to recognize them. I mean, I'm happy that they can see into the future with those damned lights, but I just want to see outside my vehicle.

I'll be voting "NO"
Everyone forgets that back in the day, nobody agreed with the .08 de facto limit, because de facto intoxication laws arwn't based in science. Nobody wanted these laws on the books because they invite corruption and give the police a reason to arrest and persecute people who aren't actually intoxicated.
The feds had to blackmail the states with federal highway funding in order to get the .08 limit passed. It worked.
I don't vote "YES" on laws that aren't supported by evidence. We don't need a hard alcohol limit, we need a set of objective measures of performance supported by science, unlike most current FSTs (with the exception of HGN) to determine intoxication

This has been a complaint since HIDs first hit the market in the early 2000s. Now that LEDs are taking over, it’s the same debate.
Hell, I think my dad said the same issue came up when halogen became dominate…
I get it. I do a lot of driving at night, and I get blinded by 90% of the cars on the road. I either look towards the fog line or put up a hand (or middle finger) to block the glare from the oncoming lights. Or use my hand to block it if they’re lights are shining in my side view.
There’s no real good way to “fix” it, other than we have to find a way to deal with it.

I have aftermarket LED headlights for my Jeep with color changing halos. Jeep headlights already sit higher than average vehicles so people flash me all the time. So now I just use my halos and fog lights. I use my regular headlights when I really need the light and people flash me anyways but I don’t give a fuck anymore. I just flash people back and they still flash me haha 😂

It’s a little silly to say something about an entire state if you’ve only seen one part of it right?
Unless you’re from vermont ofc. Everything else in America is flat land in their minds lol
