But the root cause is banned. People are already supposed to click off their high beams for nearby traffic. Those LED replacement bulbs do say “not for headlights” because they’re not allowed in standard projector housings, lifted truck are required to point their headlights down. But the problem continues to get worse despite each scenario being banned.

The problem is how do you make the bans effective? Or how do you get people to do the right thing no matter how self_centered they are?

But tech solutions work over years

• fixtures made for LEDs may be insanely bright but also better focussed to reduce glare
• auto-dimming means you’re not relying on some idiot to pay attention and do the right thing
• active matrix takes that a step further

In the meantime I’m thinking of getting those yellow lenses polarized driving glasses to see if it makes a difference
