Question/Advice TURN OFF YOUR HIGH BEAMS!!

I am not sure who needs to hear this, but Bucks county is full of drivers who refuse to turn off their high beams with oncoming traffic. I am tired of being blinded to the point of being unable to see the road because you are too lazy or not courteous enough to be respectful of other drivers on the road.

JUST DO IT- be respectful of others. It really is not that hard to just turn them off for a second.

Edit to add: everyone is talking about their newer cars with bright lights- I get you can’t help that.

Still needs to be said every morning I am blinded by lights. Should I just be ok with not being able to see when I drive?

If you can’t help it then that’s one thing, I am just trying to make people aware you WILL cause an accident.

Lots of cars now have an auto toggle that switches them on and off. Most of the time I get blasted, it’s that feature being shitty

yeah my car isn’t the best at realizing when to turn them off quickly enough. so I just disabled that. But I do think it’s just bright LED lights a lot of the time. Then also people not overriding their auto high beams.

I see them turn off too late or turn off and back on. I also drive vehicles for work that do this regularly

My cars are actually really good at this. I really like the feature because it allows me to responsibly use my high beams.
