that still means driving much ... using only low beam headlights that don’t reach very far. That can be dangerous.


WTF. I've been driving for almost 30 years and never turn on my high beams. Country, city, suburbs, I just don't need them.

What's dangerous is these uber-faggots with their brighter than the sun LED headlights that sear the retina off anyone within 123 miles. There is no need for that crap. I'm all for moving to LEDs, but for Pete's sake, tone it down already!

It's always some limp dick faggot over compensating for his being a faggot by driving a lifted pickup truck that gets a kick out of burning the retinas out of other drivers

He paid a lot of money to jack up his pickup making it slower, handle shittier and suck more fuel all so no one would question his manhood. Like a women wearing high heels. All for looks no function. Faggots.

You dumb American faggots when it comes to cars and driving you're all like little retarded niggers from Africa trying to fly a plane. 1. Adjust your headlight down if you must jack up your pickup. 2. Get the fuck out of the left lane, stop trying to be police or retarded. 3. Germans are the best driver's, Hitler would have you all executed for driving like niggers.

It's cool tech, but I'm not really sure the "less accidents" claim is valid, and is ADB really even necessary?

I think that's a valid argument, I went to look at videos to try & better understand it, and I thought I'd drop a kink in the comments.

I will say this, I know someone who has had laser surgery on their eyes, and they Bitch whenever any car lights hit their eyes. They say after the procedure, their eyes became very sensitive to light at night.

Meh. Put vertically polarized tint on car windshields. This will make the car cooler in the summer and ease eyestrain during daytime.

Then get high intensity, horizontally polarized headlights. The windshields will block most of the light from them, but not the light reflected off matte surfaces.

When they figured out how to tax it and penalize it they will allow the use of.
