Probably not too far off at this rate... I'm watching billboards light up from people's headlights. It's only a matter of time.

I’ve found the angle of the other car with newer headlights is very critical for how bright they are. If they are angled up at all, like the camber of the road at an intersection, coming around a curve with a steeper crown on the asphalt, or even a car with weight in the trunk or a full rear seat, it’s enough to tilt the lights up enough to be blinding. The focus edge is so sharp it takes very little to get overwhelming light from modern car headlights.

Tesla drivers near me are way worse. They always have their high beams on, without fail.

I haven't driven at night in a while until recently and I was wondering if it was just me losing my ability to distinguish cars but when I looked into my rearview at night, especially on multilane highways, it just looked like a disorienting constellation of stars. I don't remember trying to figure out wtf is happening behind me being so hard.

Am I just getting bad at driving or is this a universal experience?

Is this in Florida?

Most newer cars have a setting that allows changing your headlight beam angles to aim lower.

There's also the options of physical adjusting your headlights or swapping the bulb to something that's won't illuminate the moon while you drive.

I set my headlight to aim about 2 degrees lower, but I also drive a smaller compact so my headlights are not at eye level by default.

Also, if you do make the adjustment try to aim lower then the back license plate of a car infront of you, or at the very least not directly into the side mirrors and rearview mirror of the car infront of you.

Do you want Langoliers? This is how you get Langoliers.

I don't get it

Not really, for the most part it is just black out the window.
