Those idiotic LED matrix lights keep conveniently missing the wing mirrors of cars in front when casting their shadow
Arsehole lights for arsehole cars for arsehole people, I guess.
There was a well established and very simple technology for not blinding other traffic. High beam and low beam, with a manual switch. No myriad of sensors and computers that do a worse job than any driver with just half a brain and some small remainder of decency.
Those are getting more scarce too.
Unfortunately, they do. People seem to think because of all the assistance systems in modern cars, they don't need to pay attention anymore. My daily commute on a narrow country road with largely no centre line has become a harrowing adventure in the past couple years. Idiots are increasingly driving in the middle of, or even on the wrong side of the road. These days even a solid centre line is becoming a mere suggestion.
The worst thing the car industry ever did was turn our vehicles into mobile living rooms.
I still stand firm that driving should be mildly uncomfortable and loud with the intention of keeping you focused.
Can you say again? I didn't hear
Every car has auto high beams now, and I gotta wonder what the folks living on country roads think about thousands of cars flashing their lights for the split second there's no oncoming traffic.
God my wife’s car has that and I hate it-
we hate it. fucking hate it. it's so goddamn offensive for people to be lighting up the night sky like that when their already way more bright than necessary lowbeams do just fine
And don't forget that people outside of cars exist which are missed 100% of the time
The cars don't miss the people outside of the car 100% of the time, unfortunately.
Point your side view mirrors lower and out more? They are to see your sides, the rear view covers the behind.
If they’re set properly, it shouldn’t be reflecting cars behind you into your eyes.
This poster loves blindspots.
How does this make blind spots? You still see just the edge of your vehicle.
If you see the edge you already see what is behind your car, thus being blinded.
You're supposed to be able to rely entirely on your side mirrors, the rear view is for quick glances, it's honestly not a great mirror
If you’re got the rear view, use it and save yourself.
Seems a no brainer.
... Am I supposed to move my side mirrors out of place every time when someone blinds me through them?
How about switch off your fucking high beams when you're driving behind another car instead of making them adjust their mirrors. Not all cars even have rear view mirrors. Vans don't. Mine's aimed at the rear seat so I can see what my kid's doing.
You can't even pass the driving exam here if you use your rear view mirror instead of side mirrors.
What? Why?
Why are you constantly adjusting your mirrors? You set them and leave them.
Most come with back up cameras now, maybe install one.
Lmfao, you are an idiot.
That’s just making shit up.
You were recommending people adjust them to not see behind them when there's someone blinding them. Or were you recommending just setting them far off to the side all the time so you can never use them?

You ARE aware that those usually only come on when reversing though, right? Right? And are aimed downwards?
Takes one to know one
No, you literally have to visibly move your head to check the side mirrors before maneuvers (including lane changes) for your driver's exam here because you can't rely on the rear view mirror alone. Your side mirrors have to show the blind spots on the side and behind you, not the side of the road or whatever you aim them at.
If you're ever driving behind me with your high beams on and there's nobody else in my car, I'm going to brake check you. Your insurance can pay for my next car.
