Goddamn. LED. Headlights. Also the way different manufacturers have these tacky headlight setups to somehow set then apart from others so not only are they as bright as the fucking sun, they have way more diodes than is ever necessary.

There is a confluence of problems here. LED headlights are stupidly bright, but if they’re aimed correctly and the headlights aren’t too high up, they’re not as big an issue generally.

But the arrival of LED headlights coincided with cars getting tall as fuck. There are pickup trucks whose headlights are nearly as high up as my head. Which just compounds the problem, because even if those lights are aimed mostly correctly, they’re still gonna blind people.

It’s infuriating.

omg it's the worst. When I'm not in a great mood, I flash my brights at said tall-ass pickup trucks. Probably gonna get shot one day.
