    Half the time it’s their car auto activating brights

    They’re supposed to have sensors that deactivate the brights if it sees oncoming light but they simply don’t work…

    Otherwise it’s exactly as you say

      Auto brights are so poorly coded, the managers who shipped those projects should be shot into the sun. But driving that long I had a lot of time to observe and ruminate. There are so many cars older than the industry’s adoption of auto brights that I’m lead to believe that people just leave them on, period. No cop is going to pull anyone over for it so everyone just does it.

        Cop probably cant tell the difference between a new car with normal headlights and an old car with their brights on

        Why? He’s blinded 😆

      No, it’s always older cars like Civics, Corollas and Hyundais with older halogen headlights that are always driving with the high beams on. I flash so many of these morons.

      Every car I’ve been in with them is overzealous in turning off to the point that they’re useless with much traffic at all.

      It’s most likely not auto brights but humans not so brights

        🤷‍♀️ My brother and dad both have cars that don’t turn them off properly and they’re different makes and models so I dunno
