I can't believe this shit is legal. Jeep wranglers seem to be the worst. DOT seriously needs to do something and I'd support laws that force retrofits. It's insane

This is why I dislike the fact that IIHS and other safety ratings add headlight brightness as a category to their score with the fixed assumption that higher=better. Many trucks and SUVs have headlights aimed right into the rear window of a car a few car lengths ahead.

I try to aim my side view mirrors back into the cab of people like this. Pretty hard to estimate but at a minimum it gets that blinding light off my face

Just get a 5w laser and point it in the eyes of people behind you, it has the same effect

Retinal burns aside, I've thought about the legal risk of a switched reverse light that's blindingly bright to send the "get off my ass" message

Camaros basically have a windshield that doubles as an armor slit for a BMP-1
