Are people in this area just dumb or oblivious wrt driving with high beams on?

I do notice but I can see much better at night with them on. So it’s for safety.

Yup. Combine that with lack of driving skills, et viola!

You're confusing it with LED lighting, which is literally an eyesore, OP.

Also, I don't know if you've driven at night in dense urban areas, before, but you can't compare apples to oranges. You might never see a high beam or LED beam in less dense areas, but in the city, or near suburbs, you're bound to notice someone driving like this. It's a numbers game. I've driven in lots of cities around the world that have the same issue, and it's made me hate driving at dusk or night, especially if it rains: the raindrops reflecting the more or less intense beams give me a splitting headache.

No, I'm not confusing it w/ new lighting. Again, you can tell idiots drive around with their high beams on because of the patterns on their headlights.

OK. Well, it's the curse of driving in lots of traffic, I suppose.

Helloooooo. It is not safe to blind oncoming drivers ..very dangerous actually. Do you want to get smacked by a blinded oncoming car?

Our cars have auto high beams and they take a second to turn off when a car is detected.

My favorite bright lights in my face are from that super bright bar rednecks put under the grill of their pickup trucks and leave on all the time. Why isn't that thing illegal?

[Anonymous]

Of course they're just stupid. They don't even know how to make a right turn, use a roundabout, or move right instead of holding the line and causing major traffic in the left lane. Moved here from L.A. and have never seen so many idiot drivers!

Yes, those things are a scourge. They should be banned from even being able to be sold, without question. They definitely illegal. The intensity of the lights is absurd and definitely illegal.

THANK YOU for starting this thread, I have been meaning to ask people this here. Drove home from Jersey yesterday and there were about a DOZEN cars on the Turnpike and 95 who were just driving down a crowded highway at 9:00 with their high beams on. Why are you doing this. It’s not just oncoming traffic that’s blinded, it’s everyone ahead of you and next to you, too. Why?

It's dangerous. Driving safely only works if everyone drives safely. Turn those damn things down.

What if it's a very important person, or at least someone who thinks they are? We have a lot of those in DC.

I would avoid getting a car with dangerously bright headlights. How is that safe? Who wants to be driving towards or behind another driver that can not see well?
