Polarized glasses help to some degree (as long as they dont darken) However if your windscreen is like that you a) need new wiper blades and b) also need to clean the damn screen inside and out. Also check out the German lighting standards. They’re prolly the best in the world. All headlights need to have reflector/diffuser fittings to limit glare.
Yeah that shit sucks. I drive a 90s Japanese economy car and it’s pretty much guaranteed that this time of the year, I’m going to have some 6,000+ pound bro-dozer behind me flooding my entire cabin with light on the way home from work. They aren’t even modified. That’s just how annoyingly big cars have gotten.
I was borrowing a short car and a truck pulled up behind me with it’s ultra-bright while lights directly at eye level. Unbidden my mind conjured the image of a man very like me stepping out of the car with a sledge and smashing the truck’s headlights.
Electric side mirror adjusters can sometimes be used to angle to light back into their eyes.
I also think to myself, “Self, if ever I did some crazy cosmetic thing to my car, it would be to have some highly polished chrome panel with a series of electric motors that could adjust the angle to be used when somebody behind me has headlights that are too bright.”
Eh, I’d draw the line at blinding surrounding drivers. I was a bicyclist and busser till I was 25 and I got enough empathy to not want to kill anyone with my car.
please for the love of god can this country please get any kind of public safety measures passed. literally just stick a railing on somewhere that someone might fall off of. pass some toothless legislation. literally anything please yes-honey-left
Afaik there are regs that make those lights illegal and require specific alignment of headlights so they don’t blind people, but there’s no enforcement, and people constantly misalign the lights with shoddy installs. idk, I hate it, driving is dangerous enough as it is.
