Those light bars should be illegal.

They are aggressive down here, do not understand the concept of yielding and use of blinkers/directionals. Crazy stuff, VT is waaaay better.

Not only do the bright white ones need to aimed down but they need to be in an LED specific housing that reflects the light beams in a different way. A lot of people throw LEDS into their halogen headlights and end up with lights that are both worse for them and oncoming drivers.

My Tacoma has auto dim headlights that don’t dim half the time.

My 4 year old car auto dims highbeams as other cars approach. Not sure why this isn't a standard feature. It's incredibly convenient and it has never failed to dim a single time (I'm always worried that it will fail to dim....and the approaching car will be a cop).

I haven’t experienced this issue at all I find that drivers are great about being courteous with their high beams.

I think we’re all just older and our eyes don’t handle the light well anymore.

I have older cars so upgrading headlights is limited. Instead, I threw a couple $20 off-road lights on the front to light highbeamers up as they approach.

Also note how many trucks have tinted front windows, which shouldn’t pass inspection unless you meet certain medical exemptions. I’ve concluded that the majority of truck drivers have strange eyesight issues, or that they all have handshake agreements with mechanics to pass their vehicles, regardless of after market modifications.

This is likely the answer.
In West Fairlee people drive under the posted 35 because the roads are so windy and wet.

Yesterday I had someone behind me on 91 with their highbeams on and I had to slow down to 55 to force them to pass me, then when I flashed them they turned it off finally.

I didn’t grow up in VT but definitely remember 18 yo rink attendants driving the Zamboni when I was a kid, couldn’t be that hard to learn

I'm a "9 and you're fine" driver, try not to go over 9mph faster than limit (non-interstate). That's 59 on 116. I definitely pass ppl who insist on driving exactly 50.

It's not more dangerous than if the high beams are so bright you literally can not see though.

It is really uncomfortable. I had to pull over the other night because I was getting such a intense headache from the blinding lights, then darkness, then being blinded in close succession that I was sick to my stomach. It is definitely stressful.

I'd much rather leave the house 5 minutes early and drive 70 than leave late and speed to try to make up time (hint: driving 80 doesn't get you there much faster than the guy behind doing 70).
The faster you go, the more gas you use, so joke's on your wallet.
