It 100% is when I was learning to drive in the 90's. Growing up I remember driving up the desolate back-roads of upstate NY on our way to VT and my father loosing his shit when some moron kept their high beams on. It was rare.
I bet a lot of it has to do with modern car automation where auto dimming and other features are expected by newer drivers to just work and they blissfully drive around expecting the car to do everything for them. Laziness rendered by convenience.
- jimmydddd 2y agoBoth of my cars (BMW and Nissan) have the ability to auto-switch to low beams when oncoming headlights are detected. It works great. But you have to press a button on the end of the turn signal wand to enable it. And it disables when you turn the car off. My wife and kids have no idea how to use this feature. I tried to explain it a few times, but they weren't interested.
