LAS VEGAS ( KLAS ) – A viewer electronic mail says headlights lately are too shiny.

Nameless writes:

“Car makers have installed lights suitable for 747s1 God help you if a Jeep, Tesla, or any SUV/truck gets behind you at a red light at night. Have your retina specialist on voice dial! With street lights and store LEDs blazing away, headlights are barely necessary. People: have mercy when idling at the drive thru and dim your lights. Just saying.”

Nameless, thanks for writing.

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.
