We own a Cadillac SRX with sucky, poorly designed headlight assemblies so I use brights at night. I try to switch when encountering oncoming cars, but if it’s on a totally dark road, doing so is hazardous. We’re currently trying to get them replaced but have recently experienced unexpected expenditures, and try to not drive it after dark.

I love Florida but there are some laws down here that I just don't understand, like you can be in your 80's and not need to renew your license (and get your eyes checked) for six years. It is obvious that a great many Villagers have no business behind the wheel of a car. If the renewal period was one or two years after a certain age, many of these folks would have their licenses revoked (and we would all be safer for it).

But you're assuming they would stop driving if their license was revoked.

Many “fog lights” aren’t fog lights, they are driving lights that provide increased illumination near the vehicle.

High beams provide increased visibility so you aren’t over driving your lights (can’t stop within the distance your lights illuminate).

Nothing wrong with using either correctly, showing some courtesy which seems to be lacking.

auto setting will do that until it "sees" another car

Driving with bright lights on isn't limited to the older people. Many of the new vehicles have LED headlights that are very bright white lights that blind oncoming traffic and many younger drivers retrofit the LED bulbs to their cars. The LED bulbs are very sensitive to correct headlight aiming and will blind oncoming drivers on low beam if not aimed correctly. Pickup trucks are especially prone to doing this because of the headlights being so high off the ground.

The World may never know.
But, Christmas is just around the corner.

LED headlights should not be allowed they are installed improperly and blind oncoming traffic

I see you don’t like following laws. Typical, and you resort to name calling. Now who fits the Karen.

I don’t drive at night. I find it difficult to see after dark so I avoid going out unless my husband drives.

Lights are not hard to readjust.

you want to explain "dazzle"??? motorcycle lights aren't highbeams so I'd really like to get down to your point.

Not always hi beams, My Toyota truck has very bright headlights, and I get hi-beamed a lot....not my fault.
