We have a 2020 outback and I didn’t know they could be adjusted. People always flash me and then I flash the beams to be like hey it could be worse. Time to look into this.

Most towns in VT have resisted putting their records online for decades. Covid pushed some along but not all.

They are still always available in person at the town office

Ive always been bothered by white headlights, its just unnecessarily bright unless you're actually driving places where its impossible to see. I also drive an older accord so pretty much every modern cars headlights point directly at my face. Even cars behind me make it hard to see sometimes with the reflection from the side mirrors absolutely blasting me

If I fill my in bed fuel tank and/or have heavy shit in the back of my truck I get flashed all the time. Tried adjusting my headlights down but then it was very hard to see on the highway at night when it’s empty. Almost need to get leveling airbags to make it safe for everyone.

I ended up doing an underground roof system. Dug 3’ around my foundation where my roof dumps water, put in foam board covered by ice shield sloped away from the house. Took me a few days in the summer and a lot of beer for recovery, but it’s the first time my old stacked stone basement hasn’t had puddles after heavy rain

There ought to be a change to the new LEDs where the high beams are as bright as you want but the lows take on a yellow tint so you don't get the glare

I recently had this happen with a cop. Was driving my partner's car, which I rarely use... the brights come on/off automatically, but I've never had to manually turn them off. Of course, this particular time, the cop had enough time to flash their brights TWICE before mine went off. I'm just glad I didn't accidentally turn the lights off completely.

I will never stop flashing my high beams at those with high beams on (when it’s not just bright LEDs or higher-off-the-road lights or whatever), the selfishness is infuriating.

This is the way all state agencies are run. There is zero money invested in IT, everything is ancient and the staff is buried under the massive workload.

I have a 2022 4Runner with factory lights. I get flashed regularly because they are so bright. I lowered/adjusted them, it helped a little but still get flashed.

IMO there needs to be regulations put in place. New car lights are just super bright.

We bought a new Civic and ID4 this year. Each has LED headlights with auto high beam dimming. I don’t recall being brighted by anyone. I think it’s mostly pickups and/or people with upgraded aftermarket lights.

High and low in headlights refers to aim more than light output. Modern trucks, SUVs, and large crossovers ride significantly higher than older cars, to the point where their low beams do look like high beams—unless you’re also in an equally-huge vehicle.

There has been a ton of people recently not in newer cars just driving around even during the day with their high beams on, however mine are vastly brighter, and I will not hesitate to flash at someone, if they are doing it.

My regular headlights on my Volvo are insanely bright. The High beams are ridiculously bright. They are LED’s and imho they are too bright. I shut off the auto High/Low beam because it would switch to the Highs and not shut off and blind people. They are great driving on a dark back road. But high traffic areas I’m sure they annoy people.

It was down 25 days. Back entry and recovery took the lab almost 8 months. Back logs and covid and more acutely ill patients after restoration- who knows if that is still happening or some other factor. The hospital is always full.

Yup, got a 2020 Outback that was TERRIBLE. Had to adjust them down a lot. They weren’t even close. It’s a well known issue with Outback’s over the last few years

I was kind of hoping for Cleveland Baseball Team.

Agreed, but only a couple minutes faster than 89 and 7.

After daylight savings time I had to change my route home from work (South Burlington to Vergennes) because of this. I was taking backroads to avoid all the stoplights on 7 but being blinded over and over by people on the dark roads was stressing me out.

Make some contracts for people to manually index the records, and feel free to add some buffer room and reallocate excess to indexing records at the state archives.

Just got a '23 Tundra. LED lights and auto high/low beams are probably the culprit and I'm guilty of that

I'm just glad people finally started turning off those damn light bars

I drove a zamboni last winter season here in VT at one of the rinks listed. It's fun but also not easy.

I hate it.
