A "trick" I learned was to look down and to the right side of the road at the lines so you can still see where you are going but don't have to go blind.

Another "trick" I learned is that headlights don't work after you smash them with a sledgehammer.

Whichever trick you want, they should both work.

Both were rendered obsolete with led headlights. And cars behind blinding the driver way too much.

Good thing though is they see my finger preeetty clear without opening the window.

It got very dangerous to drive at certain roads. I know plenty of people how stopped driving after sundown. Even if it is good for the environment; When they need to take at trip at such times, they shall not be in danger. Also LEDs are light pollution. And it madr some people feel superior ehich harmed driving culture. Humans are ignorant fucks.

I think there's something wrong with lights being sold for cars that are so bright the strategy is "look as far away from the car driving at you as possible".

Like I have them on my car. I get flashed for having my brights on constantly, then I hit them with the literal light of the sun and I think "wow this power is ridiculous".

They make 4500k led headlights now, saw them a while back bought a set, totally great to get the life and clarity of leds while my conscience rests easy.

They could've always done that, only reason we got the whites was so that everyone would know you have a recent car.

Mine has "auto brights" that I swear were designed by an evil bastard. They flashed people often enough that I've taken to turning them off and just go with my normie lights unless it's country driving now.
