    In places where you need to have emissions checked they should simultaneously check headlight alignment and brightness and enforce standards for these.

    I went from a small car to a small crossover and it made a huge difference. It’s like America’s roads are designed for SUVs.

    Quite a few years ago I had a Citroen DS 23, whose headlights moved with the steering with a simple mechanism, so it illuminated the curves much better and also dazzled drivers coming in front much less. I don’t know why this has not become standard, very easy to implement by manufacturers, it is simply a bar that connects the headlights and another connected to the steering, it is nothing more than this.

    In case anybody doesn’t know, a good trick to avoid blindness is to close one eye until the car passes so you’ll retain your night vision in that eye. This also works great for going to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

    Part of it is also outdated regulations. They recently updated the regulations to allow adaptive lights that turn off the parts of the led array that would blind oncoming drivers while maintaining road illumination. The technology has been around a while but the US didn’t allow car makers to use it.

    Some people here in CR use bikes with these. The only difference is that the lights flash constantly
