Some people will say the camera isn't focused, but this is what it looked like in real life too. It blinded me through the rear view even after I dimmed it. GM can't figure out anything related to lighting. Not the headlights, not the reverse indicators, not even the check engine light, but this is getting out of hand. My eyes still haven't recovered.
As per the subject - is there a list of sensible cars - especially for UK market and relatively new models which don't cause this problem? Planning to buy something the size of Kia Sportage - will need to be PHEV.
seen on Instagram, thought my fellow community would enjoy this 😂 The tape would reflect back so bad too it’s genius
I don't know if these ppl are scumbags or if they're literally so fucking stupid and inept that they don't know how annoying it is. The fact that lawmakers haven't regulated this yet is just an outrage.
I really hate it when drivers behind me leave their high‑beams on while driving the highway at night.
The bright light bounces off both side mirrors and my rear‑view mirror. The blinding glare washes out my vision and strains my eyes. Flipping the rear‑view to anti‑glare mode only helps so much, the side mirrors still get blasted.
It’s not just annoying — it feels genuinely unsafe. It takes extra mental effort to focus on the road ahead when your eyes are getting constantly blasted from behind.
Does anyone else deal with this all the time? What little tricks do you use to cope with drivers who refuse to turn their high beams off?
I flashed my brights at this guy. Unsurprisingly, he did not get the memo or did not care, or worse yet maybe his brights weren't even on. I've gotten into the habit of flashing every over-bright headlight I see, just to spread awareness by making myself a minor nuisance.
A couple of years ago I was driving on my break from work, something I normally did to spend some time alone on the road with music. Suddenly a car pulls behind me and I can't see very well with how their headlights show in my mirrors, so I wait until I reach a spot to pull over and let them by without issue.
I pull over, they pull over with me. Confused, I get back onto the road, and then the red and blue lights kicked on. I was pulled over. I explained that I had initially pulled to the side of the road because I wanted to let them by as his brights were pretty bright for me, and the only response I got was "they're normal headlights". Maybe not for the person you're driving in front of!
Mazda, Hyundai, Tesla, Jeep, and most lifted trucks just keep blinding everyone, when is this going to stop?
Its not alright for cars to have the retina burners 3000. Fuck your headlights for that. Its always the older car with LED bulbs that will flashbang anybody within a 270 degree radius from the front. Luckily I was just the passenger.
Check out this discussion with Michael Kruppa from Audi. They plan to introduce adaptive matrix headlights later this year. It's hard to tell what this guy is trying to say, but it appears he thinks everyone should be driving around with ultra-expensive high-beam matrix headlights that blind everyone else. What an asshole.
This is what im greeted with. And this is mild compared to some.
