The crusade against bright headlights has picked up speed in recent years, in large part due to a couple of Reddit nerds. Could they know what’s best for the auto industry better than the auto industry itself?
Modern headlights are blinding to anyone not in the vehicle using them. Oncoming headlights if you’re in anything shorter than whatever is producing them makes it near-impossible to see the road.
It isn’t just brightness. It’s also the height, how they’re pointed, and whether the driver is an asshole who doesn’t dim the brights for oncoming traffic.
Yes we need less cars, but leaving cars more dangerous isn’t the better interim solution.
While cars have always travelled at speed at night, till modern headlights they were just reckless.
It is another reason cycling infrastructure should be seperated: so headlights can be shielded.
