I can hear viewers proper now saying “Yeah!”
However I am additionally fairly certain headlights are nonetheless a good suggestion.
Here is one thing from the Nationwide Freeway Visitors Security Administration:
“Headlamp standards balance two important, competing interests: adequate illumination so drivers can see at night and limiting glare to other drivers.”
For the previous few years some carmakers have been placing in so-called “smart” headlights, or “adaptive driving beams” that mechanically modify to oncoming visitors.
Buckle up, drive rigorously – and please put down that cellphone.
