ever since daylights savings ended, i have come across SO many drivers using their high beams 24/7, and not even turning them off when i flash my high beams at them. i promise you that just because it's dark at 4:57pm, you can still see and do not need your high beams on at 4:58pm. my astigmatism cannot survive any more unnecessary high beams.
Most lights have a ‘cut line’ where the light is focused away from to avoid glare to other drivers and point more light towards the road. However whenever the oncoming vehicle is cresting the slightest rise, or if the vehicle is laden with excess weight (cargo, passengers, etc.), the aim is inherently higher and the ‘cut line’ is thereby useless.
Furthermore, while some cars still use the LED equivalent of 55w low / 100w high beams, some manufacturers run a constant high-wattage bulb with a focusing lens that shifts when you put the “high beams” on to direct the light higher and further out. In these cases, the intensity during a situation like the rise-crest scenario I described above is even worse.
