      >A study commissioned by the Department for Transport (DfT) found 97% of people surveyed found they were regularly or sometimes distracted by oncoming vehicles and 96% thought most or some headlights were too bright.

      >New measures will be included in the government’s upcoming Road Safety Strategy, reflecting what is becoming an increasingly fraught issue for road users.

      My bff’s brother got his car refreshed and now has new blinding lights (*The Weeknd…*), so we know what car is his from a distance when we’re waiting for him to pick us up.

      Many of them are installing after market leds that are not optimized and really distract others

      So I’m not the only one, then? I got my license three years ago, and at night I really struggle to drive because every headlight reflecting in my rear-view mirror tends to briefly blind me. I thought, since I wear contact lenses, that the problem was coming from me

      Blinded by a million suns has fucked up my eyes! Law suit incoming!

      It’s not that they’re to bright, they are, but the issue I have is that I have a normal sized car and if a pickup truck is behind me, I’m going to be blind from their lights because their lights are too high from the road surface.

      Regulate the max distance from road surface to top of headlights

      Vehicles getting taller and any bump flashing directly your eyes blind does not help at all.
      Vans are worst offenders, they have lights mounted higher for esthetics.

      Going back to weak yellowy halogen lights is not the answer though. Perhaps the dynamic LED systems are better? Or maybe warming up the colour temp, or both.

    9. ashyjay on

      I’ve been getting blinded by halogen reflector lights more than I am by LED or Xenon lights.

      I wonder do people even know the difference between long lights and short lights, and do people know to lower the low lights height? Cause when i drive behind someone i can clearly see that mu lights fall short behind the car infront of me. But i can often see people with way to bright, white lights pointing way to high up

      I think we should all start driving with our lights off at night.

      And I always thought I was just too high 👨🏻

      The auto industry doesn’t care what the customer wants. That’s why we have all these needless new features that make our cars drastically more expensive to repair than 20 years ago .

      Not only are these new headlights way too bright, they can cost thousands and almost the price of a decent 2nd hand car.

      The front bumper and headlights are some of the most common items to be involved in minor incidents, so manufacturers make them way more expensive with extra sensors and features so consumers are incentived to buy a new car rather than repair their own car which in turn is better for the environment.

      We’re being spoonfed bullcrap in order to line the pockets of billionaires.

      There needs to be much stricter enforcement regarding headlights and the added auxiliary lights. I see so many just obviously illegal light setups driving around it drives me nuts.

      Driving at night is obnoxious now.

    17. fruce_ki on

      Driving at night on wet road is a nightmare. I cannot see the road/lane edges because of all the bright glare from oncoming traffic.

      The medium scale lights need to be nerfed down to 50-75% of their current brightness, or they need to be made more diffuse again (in the past, the front glass of lights was not a smooth clear piece like it is now, it had texture and shape and softened the laser effect).

      Leave high beams as they are now, we still want to see well when driving alone in the middle of nowhere.

      And skip the auto-dim gimmickry that adds failure points and makes servicing more expensive. Soften the medium scale lights permanently.

    18. morbihann on

      Well yes. Some 15-20 years ago you could drive perfectly fine with high beams on regular cars until the last 20-30m of the pass, now you get blinded from 200-300m away.

    19. Dic_Penderyn on

      Car headlights were a lot less dazzling when they were halogen only.

    20. Xalpen on

      Brightness wouldnt be that much of an issue if cars(vans, fucking suvs) didnt have headlights at other cars windshield level. This is real problem. No max headlights height.

    21. Dryish on

      We need EU-wide regulation on this. These kinds of use cases are exactly why international standards exist.

    22. Nebulya97 on

      And it’s even worse when people do not know the basic light (don’t know the word in English) isn’t the most powerful so they’re flashing you for it.

      Had that so many times will going to Germany! And sometimes in Belgium, where I live.

      Usually, people do not even know about the most recent one. Though I agree that they’re too powerful, I don’t even know how they’re allowed like that.

    23. mrpi31459 on

      Not only that. Those automatic high beams do not recognize motorcycles properly, so it’s high beams in your face until the driver switches manually. Good job car manufacturers!
