I try to avoid driving at night. Every time a newer vehicle is driving toward me I am unable to see the road in front of me, and am still somewhat impaired after they have passed. When they are behind me, I have to flip my rear view and readjust my side mirror so the lights are out of my eyes. As you might imagine, that makes it very difficult to drive safely. There needs to be a cap on the lumins allowed for lights on cars.
I drive for a living and it has become increasingly dangerous to be out on the road at night when I can't see it because of all the newer vehicles with excessively bright headlights. Not only are these headlights creating a safety hazard, but a health hazard due to the increased eye strain on nighttime drivers. I get headaches after being subjected to hours of bright lights in my face when I'm driving for work. Sometimes, the headaches are so bad that I have to take the rest of the night off.
Headlights used to be around 1000 lumens, but now the standard headlights go up to 4000 lumens and some aftermarket headlights are much brighter than that.
The automotive industry should be held accountable for creating dangerous road conditions and the sale of excessively bright headlights should be banned because they make driving less safe for everyone on the road.
