Pickup trucks and large SUVs have their headlights mounted higher up and dazzle drivers in normally sized cars.
It's another example of regulatory capture where owners of pickups and large SUVs have free rein to dazzle lower folk.
Interestingly lights on heavy trucks are regulated in height and aim so that they don't dazzle other drivers.
- akerl_ 4y agoHow is this regulatory capture?
- antisthenes 4y agoIt's not. Poorly educated 'libertarians' like to call everything the fault of regulation or government whether applicable or not. It's just asshole or clueless drivers with no regard for others on the road.
- akerl_ 4y agoI guess I’m just especially confused because “regulatory capture” suggests there are regulations, but as the commenter above points out, there are relatively few. That’s why cars and trucks can have brighter headlights that aren’t well aligned: nothing stops them.
