    As someone with a car from '07 it basically makes it impossible to drive safely at night, especially on really dark nights. There are points where you just straight up can’t see because you’re being blinded by someone coming towards you, not to mention your eyes just don’t adjust to the dark anymore since it’s happening more and more often.

      Even new sedans have a bad time with all the SUVs and pickup trucks. There’s not much you can do when the headlight is higher than the highest part of your vehicle.

      It’s a shame because I don’t need the space, don’t want to spend the extra money for gas + purchase price, but am risking my safety by not driving one of those monstrosities.

      My general solution is to just not drive at night. Why do we subsidize these SUVs and pickup trucks by exempting them from emissions regulations?
