What is with dickheads getting light bars on their cars now. I live in a rural area and not right on the road, trying to sleep and then at 12:38am some dickhead’s got his light bar on and my whole room is illuminated, and the part of the road he was on… at least a kilometre or two away! WTF are they trying to see that their high beams won’t show them? Are they trying to stun wildlife so they can hit them?
It’s really difficult trying to drive at night now too, if the white head lights on new cars aren’t burning your eyes out, you get one of these idiots come along. It’s not just SUVs and 4WDs either, I’ve seen them on hatchbacks and sedans as well.
Sorry for the rant - unless you use a light bar in semi-rural areas that is
It’s not even just aftermarket stuff. The manufacturers cheat the tests by having the spots tested for brightness dimmer than the rest.
The higher bumper heights are also a problem there, as even with a legal cutoff they blind an oncoming sedan at 20m
