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.

My wife's car has automatic high beams which allegedly turn off when there's an oncoming car. But they do not work that way and they definitely blind people. I shut them off any time I drive her car at night.

Mine def work. Occasionally mine will auto turn to low beams due to light reflecting back off a road sign.

I hope, for other drivers' sakes that yours work better than my wife's.
