@CAWguy @Viss There are two competing needs in my area related to this. One is a need for bright lights to see the many large animals that like to cross the road at night, such as elk, moose, and bears.
However, the other is a need to not get blinded by oncoming traffic so you have absolutely no chance of seeing those animals in your lane.
I think a nice compromise would be dimmer “normal” lights and brighter “brights” for when nobody is in front of you.
@Viss @thomasareed @CAWguy Well, curve headlights are almost as old as I am but for the most part the adjustment of lights is still done by a servo motor moving aboit the reflector, not the LEDs or bulbs themselves.
It's just that there is no hard law re: headlights to prevent #CleanDiesel-like #cheating!
@[email protected] *nodds in agreement* so many assholes nowadays seem to be tacidly unaware that their regular headlights are blinding other drivers worse than if I pop in the brightest, street-legal lamps in my car and drive with highbeams all the time. - This is why @[email protected] and @[email protected] / @[email protected] / #KBA need to fuckibg step- up their game and demand that headlights under no circumstances must have more then 0° elevation *AND* have a maximum installation height if 25cm above ground ob any car with *no exceptions - even retroactively*!
