You’re Not Imagining It, Blinding Headlights Are a Real Problem

[Bikeman315]

Had this happen to me last night. A sh-thead Carolina squat pickup come up behind me. Couldn't see a thing.

Never understood this. Had lifted trucks my whole life. Adjust the …… headlights.

I really wish there would be a law that headlights cannot be more than 2 feet off the ground. And I wish police would enforce the laws against using fog lamps constantly.

I would even welcome a law that says you can't have more than 2 headlights. I get so annoyed by people with fifty lights blazing away, blinding everyone.

Generally I dislike regulations, but I agree it's a big issue.

We don’t need more laws, just properly enforce what is already on the books. 2’ off the ground isn’t realistic, sorry.

I realize it's not realistic, but it's so annoying when most headlights are at or above eye level if you are in a reasonably sized car.

90+% of vehicles on my daily drive have headlights placed above your eyeballs if you are in a late 80s Crown Vic cop car.

Oh I'm definitely not going to start driving some huge soul-killing barge just to keep headlight beams out of my eyes. But I still firmly believe that the rest of society should bend to my will.

We grumble about this at work, especially during Winter periods.

If it isn't the design (height and adjustment), it's people driving with their high beams on all the time.

Worst of all are the people driving with the Mega-Lumen LED light bars, also on all the time.

Just heard on the news this morning that the SC state senate passed a bill banning the “Carolina Squat”. It’s about time.

70% tint on the windshield for me.

Not really noticeable and takes the bite out of those headlights.

Not an option in over-regulated states like MN. Anything on the windshield or much over OEM tint on the rest gets you a ticket here.

You barely see 70 and can’t see 50.

Also same here. Guess I am a law breaker.
