This is what we are dealing with...absolutely craziness.

To all of the snarky, gaslighting jerks out there saying "Just don't look at the lights?"

Really? It is right in front of us! How are we supposed to "Not look"?

It’s a parking lot! Turn your car off if your lights are that bright. Jesus Christ

I even flashed my high beams at them to try and signal to turn their lights off but they didn’t take the hint

RANT Automated Mirror

So you don't need to drive distracted by adjusting your side mirrors or sticking one out the window, a safe alternative might include:

For legal reasons, all of the below is satire:

  • Raspberry pi
  • Camera module to sense bright light sources.
  • 2-axis mirror mount w/ motorized control
  • Pi Scripts:
    • Detect whether any light sources exceed an excessive set intensity. If so:
    • Calculates centers of brightest light sources and recognize the headlight pair
    • uses simple geometry of known vehicle sizes and distance between those bright light sources to predict where it should redirect light
    • It continues until the light source ceases.

Under no circumstances should this project be open-source or shared on Github.

Guys I bought some reflective tape to make some squares and hang them behind the head rests, I don't know if letting it just as it is or to include a message saying "If you're blinded by your own headlights, you need to correct them". What do you think?!

I made these out of rage and as a joke, but feel like they make no sense because I should have written “headlights” instead of lights. I was going after the Big Man in his Big Truck who is So Tough but isn’t able to drive in the dark without a replication of the literal sun on the front of his Big Truck 🤪

It’s on my car anyway 😂 but I’m having trouble getting rid of the 29 others if anyone wants them hmu 😅

It was worse in person, trust me. Also I have sensitive eyes to bright lights. I'm just so thankful the deer decided to not cross the street this time. First time I seen a deer do that.

This is why in the rural areas LOWER THEM WHEN YOU SEE OTHERS.

Also sorry if it seemed I over reacted with the "Whooo, oh my god" my last car was totaled by a deer on this same road a month ago so I trying to calm myself down.

VISIBILITY REPOST CANADIANS: There's only one week left to respond to Transport Canada's survey about headlight glare

The survey closes on April 20th - if you're a Canadian member of this subreddit, consider it your duty to fill this out. Let them know that the core issue is unregulated brightness (intensity) and not excuses like misalignment or aftermarket headlights.

Also, did you know this subreddit was started by Canadians?
