In the EU headlights adjustment is a mandatory procedure with every vehicle check (generally 2 years after first sale, and then yearly afterwards).

I really dislike driving in the US at night, I think most people do not realize how bad things have gotten there (or, put differently, how much better they could be).



Though, the EU is filling up with cars with blinding low beams.

There must be something missing in the regulations used by the vehicle checks.


Ironically, I feel like it was EU import cars that started the HID/blinding headlamp trend that we see everywhere.

It used to be only BMW/Audi/Mercedes that had this 'feature'


The cars are taller and LEDs tend to be brighter and bluer. It's definitely worse than even a couple years ago.
