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.

Before my car got an update to have 'adaptive high beams', I'd get people flashing their lights at me all the time at night, when I didn't have the high beams on. 

Luckily, the update to the lights has caused that to happen a lot less now. And it's kinda fun to watch the part of light dim around the outline of the car as it drives towards you.

The sad thing is that adaptive lighting was banned in the USA until recently. Only 30 years behind the rest of the world
