Comment on Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars?

In Canada, the federal government just put out a nationwide poll for input on this exact subject, as it’s coming near to the time to review the related legislation. It’s very possible that some of the headlight implementations currently on the road will soon be illegal nationwide.

Thank god, I’ve been sick of this shit for over a decade. I don’t know who would vote against dimmer lights.

The poll closed 20 April: tc.canada.ca/…/canadian-experience-vehicle-headli…
I seem to recall it opened in February. There were lots of news articles on Lemmy about it at the time.

In regional areas the extra light at night is genuinely helpful.
However, thats on unlit roads with so little traffic that you only see an oncoming car once every 5 or 10 minutes.
On roads with more traffic theyre just not necessary because there aren’t any animals or other obstacles.

Bro, that’s what the high beams are for.
The current situation is the headlights on some “newer” cars are so bright, I could turn of my headlights at night and the car behind me gives enough light for me to see without a problem.

Oh I thought thats what everyone was complaining about.
Everyone here has after market LED light bars or spot lights. Factory lights and evern high beams are no big thing but light bars have the fire of a thousand suns.
