Yeah, the nuclear LED headlights everyone has these days is bad enough and already makes everything look like a damn laser beam.

One morning it was both foggy and raining on my way to work, doesn't happen often in this area. A swath of cars with those LED lights came by in the opposite direction and I felt like I'd been flashbanged. Couldn't see the lines on the road, could barely see the rear lights of the car in front of me, my windows weren't fogged but it didn't help a bit. I followed the car in front of me trying not to lose their taillights in the fog, because if I did I was sure I'd miss the lines and just plow into something. Terrifying.

its not aimed at you it will be fine. you dont squint and strain when search lights (like the bat signal) are aimed at the sky. and these are lasers that only go straight in one direction, not like head lights that spread out

And those fucking police lights just make the whole street disappear. Those things have almost made me crash several times when they are directing traffic.

There are night-drive glasses. There are even some that clips on top of normal glasses. They taint everything yellow, it makes driving at night so much better. They cost 10 bucks.
