Half of drivers are being dazzled by bright headlights

Signed!

It seems other drivers are the same as I'm constantly seeing full beams being dimmed from oncoming traffic.

I had a courtesy car recently that had a automatic full beam setting. I ended up switching it off because it was too laggy and I felt like it wasn't turning off quickly enough.
It suddenly made sense to me why I was seeing more cars full beams flicking off.

Signed and shared, thank you.

I drove past a car with incredibly dazzling bright lights on yesterday. It was lovely and sunny here, so I assumed that he had left his full beam on by mistake. When I looked in the mirror, I could see that his rear lights weren't on, so they must have been his daytime lights? They were horrific, and blinding even in the sunshine. I've signed!

Every night I have cars flashing me as they think I have my full lights on them…. I don’t, they’re as low as they can go & I often have to them flick them on and off to show them so they stop blinding me.

it’s awful, why do they make cars like this now? I drive rural roads and I don’t think it lights the way any better!

There’s also no option to drive without lights ever - the ‘off’ setting in daylight will even have lights on

Can you not get the bulbs changed to less bright ones?

Totally agree - it's such a problem nowadays, alongside the problem of tailgating and all those huge SUV-type vehicles. The roads are just much more dangerous, and I've been driving for nearly 20 years (and used to love it!)

LED lights are TERRIBLE for wildlife/the insect population. You can tell, because they're just painful to look at. Just get rid of them everywhere. What a stupid invention.
