didn't realize 80/90s blinding and 2020 blinding were the only options
too bad there isn't a happy medium somewhere around 2010
Modern lights are still less likely to blind you because you may adjust your low beam to spec, but most people don't and halogens typically don't have auto adjustment and many even aim them high because they don't get how low beams are supposed to work.
Also I find that people with halogens or burnt out xenons take longer to switch off their high beams.
The LEDs that blind you are most likely illegal retrofits or lifted trucks. Proper LED lights have very clear low beam cutoffs and multibeam LEDs will literally cut other cars out of their beams.
your premise that the cutoff works well enough is incorrect
source: my fucking life
I'm blinded by "properly aimed" stock LEDs all the fucking time. roads aren't flat. and they're bumpy. hills exist. different elevations exist.
and your point about multibeam LEDs just proves my point more because it completely ignores non-vehicles
And improperly adjusted halogens will blind you even on flat terrain. And the drivers are more likely to keep their high beams on for much longer before switching over. Same with burnt out HIDs, once the 20 year old projectors have burnt out, the low beams are so shit that people will just drive with high beams into oncoming traffic. Whereas people with actually good lights can turn off their high beams when there's oncoming traffic.
