    Also every new vehicle with the ultra bright LED headlights anywhere that hills or bumps exist because the beam cutoff is a millimeter below retina burning height I swear.

        Even new sedans have a bad time with all the SUVs and pickup trucks. There’s not much you can do when the headlight is higher than the highest part of your vehicle.

        It’s a shame because I don’t need the space, don’t want to spend the extra money for gas + purchase price, but am risking my safety by not driving one of those monstrosities.

        My general solution is to just not drive at night. Why do we subsidize these SUVs and pickup trucks by exempting them from emissions regulations?

      Yeah, I can’t count the amount of times where I assumed someone was flashing their lights at me, askesd myself what the fuck that fucker wanted just to notice that they were going over miniscule bumps in the road… And I can only assume that my vehicle has done the same to soo many people as well…

      If I recall correctly that was the reason why care manufacturers had standardized headlights for most of the past centurie where it all started as a quality control until lights started to be really good and the reason we kept using the standard round lights was to prevent people from having lights that would blind other drivers maybe we should bring that back onto trucks at least like of your headlights are going to be eye level they shouldn’t be retna burning

      I would like to buy a F150 Lightning if I could ever afford one, but changing out the lights would be an absolute necessity.
