See, we have these things called LAWS. They are to help law-abiding citizens and punish the morons like you. No one should drive without insurance and a registered vehicle. You put all other drivers on the road at a great financial risk if you were to get in an accident. Trust me, if you and I were to get into an accident and you had no insurance and your car wasn't registered, a fine is the last thing you would want to worry about. Like everyone else says... pay the fine and get a bus pass.

This one was built in 1953. There is worked scheduled to start on this in 2026.

Man, I never hit with the permits when I lived nearby. My cousin and his buddies always seemed to. I was quite jealous.

You're not the only one. I hate it too, and my professor (American who now lives in Europe) said it's the mentality behind the"rugged individualism."

Cars that ppl make, cater to, or add on, to make themselves safer are illegal there because it makes others less safe because but everyone has it and in an accident the heavier car will inflict more damage to others. A brighter light for yourself is the same. They don't care about blinding other drivers. They only care that they can see better, so it's safer for them.

We need some kind of regulation that makes the roads safer for everyone and not only for the driver.

It is. You can use the Google (or view previous threads on this topic) to find the peer reviewed manuscripts that show this.

do you know when this was built?

Was literally thinking this yesterday. It’s so bad that I feel like I have night blindness, and I live in the city where overhead/city lights should technically help a bit.

Or the bastardized hybrid. No headlights on, but the lightbar is at max brightness. Saw that little gem yesterday.

Thanks! I’ve driven by there a million times and had no idea it was there.

Will do!

yep, I'm constantly having to guess if people are flashing their headlights at me or if they hit a tiny bump

Same

No trail. Its right off Hwy 2. It’s near mile marker 42 if I remember correctly.

If you take delivery of your car this year, you can also use your tax return of 2022 to get the tax credit if qualified.

Thaddah crash

Post here if you start a campaign. I’m already on board with you.

They’ve definitely gotten brighter and drivers have gotten more obnoxious. I don’t know why any car needs 6 fucking headlights but I’m getting tired of being blinded by that. Thinking there needs to be some regulations of this. If people can’t exercise restraint and consider the safety of others, then the option to have multiple/extra bright headlights needs to go away.

What trail is that?

Thank you!

You are correct that this area has a LOT of avy hazards! I was originally going to head up to Herman Saddle but turned around on account of obvious and increasing avalanche risk. I always prefer to err on the side of caution.

Beautiful! Well done

That is good but few of us will live long enough to see the end of the current crop of lights being sold.

A part of the problem is that people are changing out halogen bulbs and putting in LEDs that are not designed for the car. That can make them horrible to oncoming drivers.

I drive a leveled (front lifted 2”) full size pickup, but I adjust my headlights after the left was installed, as most responsible people do. That said, even sitting up higher I’m blinded multiple times per day by cars with brights in (or ridiculously bright low beans)

Good to hear!

It seemed like when I would ride the school bus as a kid a lot of the riders were absolute menaces (using rubber bands between fingers as a slingshot to fire bent paperclips or pens at each other regularly, several times embedding them into seat backs... the usual yelling of obscenities and "DON'T TOUCH ME AHHHH", etc.)

May your luck in passengers never fade, buddy!
