can you see the 2 pedestrians that are walking directly in front of this car?LED headlights should be bannedhttps://x.com/KHALID_WEATHER_/status/1982320173794394619

>>28692019How are those headlights aimed that high? Just terrible adjustment or some tard replacing their halogens with shitty aftermarket LEDs absolutely not meant for the reflectors?There's a reason why the LED halogen replacements are uncertified and therefore not road legal in many countries.
>>28691762dude just needs to clean his filthy windshield. even the traffic lights are causing glare.
>>28692058There are DOT certified LED replacements in the US for that reason, at least for older motorcycles anyway. They cost more though, so of course no one buys them.
>>28692019not only is the windshield too dirty for safety, it is cracked and illegal. Driver is at fault, pedestrians are stupid, blue lights are shit. Fuck everyone involved, I hope they all get ebola.
>>28692064Those are wiper scratches, depending how deep they are the only option is a new windshield.
>>28692019>Almost cut corner>still fail to look left and spot them crossing and blipping the GIGANTIC LED BLOWOUTS>Fail to see them again as you recenter to lane
>>28692205then he should get one. insurance would cover it if he has comprehensive. the alternative is keep driving a dangerous shitbox literally running people over in crosswalks because you're too stupid to fix your fucked up windshield.
>>28692198>Fuck everyone involvedexactly. pedestrians had zero spatial awareness, ledfag needs proper bulbs, cam would have seen them prior to making the turn if he even tried to look
modern LEDs are murderous, but i'm not a mounted camera that can't turn my head to look for pedestriansyes, the pedestrians are at fault too, but pedestrians are universally retarded. i think it's easier to pretend there is no danger than constantly cope and worry about the danger they're in
>>28691762OP is retarded. Those lights are within the brightness laws set by the state and federal government.
>>28692868Its not just the overall brightness my biggest issue are not really with super bright headlights (tho I will say some trucks and pickup trucks and Teslas are a bit too bright) but the worst offenders are people who have fucking bouncy headlights that go all over the place and headlights that twinkle their beams - those are blindingthere should be a law mandating self leveling headlights having a guy with bouncing lights behind me means I am instantly doing a passing maneuver to escape him
>>28691762>can you see the 2 pedestrians that are walking directly in front of this car?yes?
almost had an accident with my scooter because I didnt replace the scratched visor. during night and some rain you see jack shit.
>>28692902>headlights that twinkle their beamsPWM-dimming lights without high enough frequency (10+ kHz) and/or some kind of power filtering should just be banned. Revoke the shitbox's road legal status and press charges if the fucktard keeps driving it.The visible strobing is distracting as fuck and makes it unnecessarily hard to estimate speed at a glance.
>>28692214>still fail to look left and spot them crossingi wonder how much of it is because of tree trunk-sized A pillars and the driver not moving his head around
>>28692868aren't these based on wattage rather than actual light output?
>>28692058Thanks to normies having easy access to the internet any retard can buy 5000w chinesium globes on temu that wouldn't pass any standards in their own country
>>28692078Certified sealed beam units are a thing, yes. Sealed beam laws were a blessing in disguise.
>>28692019The flashing of the lights was a dead giveaway. Cityfags are golems. I play their game with deer at 70 mph on unlit highway. You see headlights blink like that then look the fuck out right now.
>>28692019Bro driving with astigmatism windshield
>>28692205How hard are wiper scratches to buff out? My windshield has some but I think they're a lot lighter
>>28693466This doesn't look anything like astigmatism.
>>28694346I've seen people say it's fine as long as you take it slow, I've seen some say you'll fuck up your windshield and cause all kinds of distortion, some say to only do it by hand.If you've got comprehensive insurance maybe you could just start tailgating construction vehicles until you get a nice big rock chip and get it replaced for cheap.
>>28694373Safelite quote is $230 for a windshield, not bad enough to be a problem though I'll wait until I inevitably need a new windshield and avoid fucking this one up
>>28694423idk about your insurance, but mine offers $50 replacements for non-reparable chips or cracks without affecting your rates
>>28694432I'll look into it, I've got progressive but about as basic as it gets but as of now no chips or cracks
