I the city, I more often find people with daylights at night, meaning that on many cars, they don’t have back lights.
There is a growing perception car lights are dazzling more but this can be because lights are brighter and cars are higher. More easily they shine to another driver’s face. Because everyone needs an SUV.
In the countryside, usually people lower the lights when passing other cars. Not always far enough away though…
In Finland a Lost of mfos do that just to fuck around
I thought this was the go fast light
Another problem that is becoming more prevalent are folks installing illegal LED headlamp bulbs which are both brighter and narrower than they should be so it seems like they have their high beams on but don’t
Good rule of thumb is to turn off highlights when the passing car turns their’s off or their lights are starting to blind you
Bonus tip: fog lights don’t do shit for you when it’s just a little bit dark.
However, they *do* become useful in heavy snow, not just in fog.
Finally, the rear light is more useful for traffic in general than the front lights, especially on a motorway.
Let’s put a couple of LED light bars on the car because we’re only driving in the darkest of voids. Also let’s point them away from the road, because fuck you.
Are we talking about regular roads or motorways? And where? Because this rarely is issue in my opinion.
Funny, recently I’ve mostly had issues with people driving with daylight running lights meaning some cars don’t have rear lights on at all. Also a lot of people have one of their lights off in the front. People please fix your lights in your vehicles. Seems to be more common issue this winter than before.
Most people turn off their brights way too early, often myself included. The harm of turning the brights off prematurely and crashing into a moose is way greater, than turning them off slightly too late. Luckily this is being addressed in driving schools today. One is not supposed to look at the oncoming vehicle’s lights.

High beams are to be turned off when the beams meet on the road, not sooner, and they are to be turned on just *before* you meet.
To avoid being blinded, keep your eyes to the right.
