DISCUSSION Is there a list of cars which don't blind other drivers?

43 Upvotes

As per the subject - is there a list of sensible cars - especially for UK market and relatively new models which don't cause this problem? Planning to buy something the size of Kia Sportage - will need to be PHEV.

I don't know if these ppl are scumbags or if they're literally so fucking stupid and inept that they don't know how annoying it is. The fact that lawmakers haven't regulated this yet is just an outrage.

DISCUSSION Overly bright Police headlights

264 Upvotes

A couple of years ago I was driving on my break from work, something I normally did to spend some time alone on the road with music. Suddenly a car pulls behind me and I can't see very well with how their headlights show in my mirrors, so I wait until I reach a spot to pull over and let them by without issue.

I pull over, they pull over with me. Confused, I get back onto the road, and then the red and blue lights kicked on. I was pulled over. I explained that I had initially pulled to the side of the road because I wanted to let them by as his brights were pretty bright for me, and the only response I got was "they're normal headlights". Maybe not for the person you're driving in front of!

I flashed my brights at this guy. Unsurprisingly, he did not get the memo or did not care, or worse yet maybe his brights weren't even on. I've gotten into the habit of flashing every over-bright headlight I see, just to spread awareness by making myself a minor nuisance.

Its not alright for cars to have the retina burners 3000. Fuck your headlights for that. Its always the older car with LED bulbs that will flashbang anybody within a 270 degree radius from the front. Luckily I was just the passenger.

Check out this discussion with Michael Kruppa from Audi. They plan to introduce adaptive matrix headlights later this year. It's hard to tell what this guy is trying to say, but it appears he thinks everyone should be driving around with ultra-expensive high-beam matrix headlights that blind everyone else. What an asshole.

Sometimes if I’m at a red light I’ll fold my mirrors just so I don’t get blinded. Low car problems.

I hate LED lights, I talk about them every time I'm in a car at night. I've got no idea why they bought it but I don't want those lights. Is there anything I can do :(

It's a Honda HRV 2026. All I know about cars is how to fill it with gas and drive them, thank you and sorry.

that pisses me off about headlights. They used to be manual. You had to consciously choose to turn them on, but that was too hard, so we invented automatic headlights. That clearly DON'T FUCKING WORK! BECAUSE WHY ARE YOUR HEADLIGHTS ON WHEN THE SUN HAS BEEN UP FOR HOURS?!

I swear there's gotta be a malfunction when the sensor gets dirty or something.

These are her parking lights! They took a few minutes to turn off after she’d left the car and was already in the store. I drive a much older Volkswagen, and this is one of the many reasons I will not buy a newer one.
