On a straight fairly flat A road, no clue if they've adjusted them properly or not thats besides the point, they're extremely blinding very consistently. The car I drive is very small and quite low to the ground. And these are absolutely not high beams, I've flashed a few coming the opposite direction because I thought they had high beams on, I am then blinded even further when they return the favour.
And also it's not this-ish (the angle depending on each person)?
Uh no its like a flashbang wherein my eyes literally have black spots after.
Wow, that sounds ... undrivable.
Especially if you say it's a regular occurrence.
Like, you wouldn't/are unable to see any pedestrians or cars in front of you. That is really not ok.
Stay safe somehow.
Ive had to pull over a few times, luckily the EU seems to be looking into it.
That's good, I don't think we have much common legislation (delegated acts) for headlights.
(Oh, there is something, but it's way too short)
And I'm really proud of EU legislation, it has procedures that get shit done and in a predictable manner.
