    Headlight height regulations and lumen limits. If a transport truck can have reasonably placed head lights, so can the f250.

    There is a quick fix, sealed beams.

    There was a time when all cars in the US had round headlights. That’s because there was only one headlight and all cars were mandated by law to use it. That law can be reimplemented at any time. It would fix the headlights as soon as it goes into effect.

    Car makers would hate it. It would ruin a lot of their styling and marketing having to use the one and only headlight. Which would make it an effective deterrant. Any major government using sealed beam laws as a threat would make the industry self regulate quickly.

      In my daydreams that sounds like a great idea. In reality I think the law would probably close in on me for doing that.

        between flock and doorbell cams, you’d certainly need to take precautions carefully

        hopefully someday soon we reach a critical mass where the average person realizes how fucking shit and assholey these LED headlights are
