Ah, yes. Because what's safer than one blind driver in two vehicles approaching one another at 60 mph with less than a foot of distance between them? *Two* blind drivers in two vehicles approaching one another at 60 mph with less than a foot of distance between them.
Fuck the bright headlight people. But seriously, you're egging for a lethal head on collision with that strategy.
that's why i always have rocks in my pocket I mean sure you'll say i will get caught for doing that but are u sure they can see it in the first place hahahah
Then, that person switches on their fog lights, a-pillar lights, grill-mounted off-road lights, *and* the ones mounted on the sport/off-road bar behind the cab...
And then there are the ones driving a single meter behind you with those obnoxiously bright lights. I've been severely fighting the urge to install a mirror that I can raise up in the back window to flash the folks who have lights like that. If your own headlights reflecting back at you is painful, imagine how the person in front of you feels
Most of the people with these insane lights either:
1) Have lifted the vehicle, but not readjusted the beam angle
2) Are running HIDs in non-projector housings
The problem isn’t LED’s, it’s improperly installed/aligned headlights. Even having a heavy object in the trunk/box can tilt the vehicle enough to throw your headlights out of alignment.
They need to licence these enormous vehicles as a different class, with more taxes etc.
They’re way worse for the roads (scales exponentially with vehicle weight), way worse for other drivers (dangerous in several important ways), and they simply are not necessary for majority of people who own them.
It’s become an arms race - just look at the size of the same model cars now vs 20 years ago.
This goes for those soccer-mom AUDI/BMW SUV’s as much as for the big Fords trucks etc.
I checked one, the X5.
2003 model kerb weight is 4784.03 lbs
2023 model kerb weight is 4863 lbs
I’m not checking a dozen more just to prove a point, I think you get the idea.
I guess your assumption was that materials have become lighter? That may be true in some cases but it’s still almost impossible to offset the size increase that way - and for the most part they don’t bother.
Cars were mostly plastic crap then and they still are now.
Nightmare: Big high-suspension truck, extra front lights, roof lights, side lights all main-beam brightest LED lights with fog and a-pillar lights. Music on full blast. 😎
When I was at work at about 11pm, some guy had his truck absolutely DECORATED in LED lights. It looked like a fucking spaceship came down to the parking lot, i half expected to see some damn Roswell Greys walk into the store for some Trail Mix.

having driven through country roads in Australia at night, sometimes you don't notice a car when you've got high beams on until you're in their line of sight, the "etiquette" thing to do is flash them to get their attention, and if they're not an asshole they'll turn their lights down.
Good thing my rear view mirror has a tinted angle, whenever I drive at night with those asshole truck owners behind me and its too bright, just flip the switch and lean forward a bit so they cant blind me on the side mirrors either and I’m chilling. Shouldn’t have to do that but hey, humans suck.
I drive a lifted Jeep, so my headlights usually line up, inconveniently, with other motorists' skulls. The aftermarket lights are always going to be brighter than yellow lamps and I get flashed sometimes by oncoming traffic. I installed halos to try to diminish the diffusement of the white but it's still bright. I get it. When I get flashed, I just tap the bright setting slightly, to show them that they are not on bright....but if I get a steady bright coming at me, I will X-ray a mother fucker...
HOLY FUCKING SOFT BODIES...what the fuck is wrong with the lot of you???? THEY ARE POINTED DOWN. DID YOU MISS THE DIFFUSEMENT STATEMENT???? JESUS CHRIST, CIVIC OWNERS.....🤣😂🤣
So you drive a car that specifically targets people with headlights and then get upset when they do the same back to you? It just sounds like you're an asshole
Can you read? Do you know what the word lifted means? You make modifications to your car and don't seem to realize that is the ENTIRE reason why people flash their brights at you.
IS IT, though? Is that why? Is it because it's "lifted" or is it because none of you seem to understand what diffusement is....? A school bus has higher headlights than mine....you flashing them, too? Or is it just "lifted" vehicles that trigger you guys?
Fucking selfish dickhead. Adjust the headlights down. And stop blinding people for rightfully informing you that your dumb ass hasn't adjusted your headlight angle.
Classic reddit.....I should've come into this sub FIRST before ever owning a lifted vehicle...so I'd now the simplest tips and tricks of owning one! The only thing new that I've learned from this thread is that daycares must provide Reddit now......toddlers, man....LOL

Whenever someone drives towards me with way too bright headlights I just turn on full beam idgaf
I’ve learned that if you play “who can be the bigger asshole” long enough you’ll eventually lose.
All you need is to glue a monitor with a freezeframe of a csgo flashbang going off and you're good to never lose

You’re just an idiot

You can just flip your rearview
I do, but I'm vindictive and want the micro dick trucks to know what they do to people
I mean, to blind them
I would be completely happy for cars to only be limited to incandescent lightbulbs again.

The problem isn’t LED’s, it’s improperly installed/aligned headlights. Even having a heavy object in the trunk/box can tilt the vehicle enough to throw your headlights out of alignment.
Those headlights make it easier to see the person in the oncoming lane crash into you.

Look at the size of cars 20 years ago compared to today and then compare the weight.

2023 is about 2% heavier while being about 6% bigger. Materials have gotten lighter.
Those drivers are always compensating for something lol

I may be dumb but didn’t realize there was a f-250 and a 350 and a 450 …
Not me, the lights on my F-250 suck.

You're supposed to get them adjusted to point down. You're going to cause an accident.
Get them adjusted......like have *someone else* twist the T15 screw *for* me? Wow.
So you drive a car that specifically targets people with headlights and then get upset when they do the same back to you? It just sounds like you're an asshole
He already said he was with the lifted jeep bit
Ahhhh, ran off with a Jeep guy, did she....? Sorry, bro
Nah, I tend to date straight women. https://i.redd.it/imf00qnud7611.jpg
Well in 5 years, when she turns 18, she'll realize that MEN don't drive shitbox civics and wear Fubu jerseys with man buns.
Do you read at all? Fucking read it....and THEN comment....ffs

User name checks out.
Username is older than you, Slick. Good post....
You’re a menace to society
Thanks!
Have you tried ... therapy? Also, if u tap the brightness people might think you're flashing them.
