It all started going down hill when they got rid of the foot switch for high beams.
If you need lights that have more lumens then the sun to drive at night, you shouldn’t be allowed to drive at night
In their defense, whenever they turn it on, it’s no longer night
Fear my alpha photons.
Theywill annilate your puny beta photons.

This is just a post
my bad
Its alright. That just means its too good for this place.
it’s ok, I’m pooping right now, so it is still a shitpost.
What’s up with that?
Audi gave the world this nice upgrade. They also find out people hate it. So they have developed a new headlight that give some kind shadow to other cars. Hopefully this will be a new law for led light.

Those idiotic LED matrix lights keep conveniently missing the wing mirrors of cars in front when casting their shadow
Arsehole lights for arsehole cars for arsehole people, I guess.
There was a well established and very simple technology for not blinding other traffic. High beam and low beam, with a manual switch. No myriad of sensors and computers that do a worse job than any driver with just half a brain and some small remainder of decency.

Those are getting more scarce too.
Unfortunately, they do. People seem to think because of all the assistance systems in modern cars, they don’t need to pay attention anymore. My daily commute on a narrow country road with largely no centre line has become a harrowing adventure in the past couple years. Idiots are increasingly driving in the middle of, or even on the wrong side of the road. These days even a solid centre line is becoming a mere suggestion.
The worst thing the car industry ever did was turn our vehicles into mobile living rooms.
I still stand firm that driving should be mildly uncomfortable and loud with the intention of keeping you focused.
Can you say again? I didn’t hear
Every car has auto high beams now, and I gotta wonder what the folks living on country roads think about thousands of cars flashing their lights for the split second there’s no oncoming traffic.
God my wife’s car has that and I hate it-
we hate it. fucking hate it. it’s so goddamn offensive for people to be lighting up the night sky like that when their already way more bright than necessary lowbeams do just fine
And don’t forget that people outside of cars exist which are missed 100% of the time
The cars don’t miss the people outside of the car 100% of the time, unfortunately.
Point your side view mirrors lower and out more? They are to see your sides, the rear view covers the behind.
If they’re set properly, it shouldn’t be reflecting cars behind you into your eyes.
This poster loves blindspots.
How does this make blind spots? You still see just the edge of your vehicle.
You’re supposed to be able to rely entirely on your side mirrors, the rear view is for quick glances, it’s honestly not a great mirror
If you’re got the rear view, use it and save yourself.
Seems a no brainer.
… Am I supposed to move my side mirrors out of place every time when someone blinds me through them?
How about switch off your fucking high beams when you’re driving behind another car instead of making them adjust their mirrors. Not all cars even have rear view mirrors. Vans don’t. Mine’s aimed at the rear seat so I can see what my kid’s doing.
You can’t even pass the driving exam here if you use your rear view mirror instead of side mirrors.

What? Why?

Why are you constantly adjusting your mirrors? You set them and leave them.
Not all cars even have rear view mirrors. Vans don’t.
Most come with back up cameras now, maybe install one.

Lmfao, you are an idiot.

That’s just making shit up.
Oooohh weee! What’s up with that? What’s up with that?!
Our cars are evolving into anglerfish
We have been taken for absolute fools 😔
Have been contacting different places about 3500k lights for my vehicle but they all just go “what do you mean? Halogen?”
JFC, 3500k colour is possible in LED, halogen, any light. They just don’t want to make/sell them.
