Increasing problem of blinding car headlights

[Jan]

Why blinding car headlights are becoming a bigger problem

New lighting technology and increased adoption of vehicles that are higher off the ground are two possible factors causing more cases of car headlight "blinding" than in previous years.

Many South African motorists will know the feeling of having an oncoming vehicle's headlights temporarily distorting their vision while driving at night.

And drivers that dont bother to dip their lights anyway...

Theme song?

For some motorists it is the only bright thing about them.

maak soos ek maak, sit my brights aan en skuif na hul baan toe.

Nie my skuld ek kan nie sien met hulle ligte in my oe nie

Blame the ANC and loadshedding

Motorbikes are all on full beam during the fscking day and it really pisses me off.

These people definitely have a bigger problem than bright headlights. There's either a train coming or they're being beamed up.

if you think it's getting worse you're probably developing cataracts.

My car can paint dark spots over where it detects cars in front or oncoming. I think most of the active LED Matrix ones can. Its quite weird - soon as a car is in front of me its bright everywhere except the car and if the car moves the dark spot moves with them.

This **** is one of the reasons I hate driving at night.

I have never seen a factory fitted headlight used legally be a problem with blinding.

Problems are...

1. Idiots with their fog lights on in perfect visibility, especially the rear ones.

2. Idiots with aftermarket Xenon or LED kak who were to cheap to replace the reflector housing and now it's beams of the sun.

not all cars have that functionality... I found that my Navara is upsetting a lot of people when Im towing or have something heavy on the back.

That sounds very cool.

I am not illogical, this is a country wide socialist scumbag problem.

I don't think it's new cars that are the issues. It's the muppets with their DIY "xenons" who don't align them properly. Or the muppets who have one headlight working, so they deal with that by using brights. Or the okes who just cruise with brights on because they don't understand that the roads aren't just for them, but others too.
