This can only be good news in my expectation, even if it is the Trump administration in charge.

    Yes. I’m firmly convinced people are idiots and will always be a problem. The answer is adaptive headlights. They may seem expensive but glare is enough of a problem that it’s worth it

      Are there adaptive lowbeams? All the problems with too bright headlights I encounter are with too bright lowbeams, not with people accidentally leaving their highbeams on in the middle of the city.

        I do assume that as well. Technically no, but I believe they are typically self leveling, plus are tighter beams

        Some of the reasons for excessive glare include

        • incorrectly aimed headlights
        • older style reflectors that let a lot of light spread
        • leaving high beams on
        • using LED replacement bulbs that aren’t legally replacements

        Adaptive high beams fix 3.5/4 of these. I do not think it helps with incorrectly aimed headlights from lifted trucks though

        I have definitely noticed cars with extremely bright headlights that are also more tightly focussed. No glare
