Feds get ready to rewrite car headlight rules

This won't stop guys from lifting their trucks and blinding you anyways. The trucks are lifted after they are purchased. This also won't stop the swath of blinding cheap junk LED light bulbs from being sold on Amazon. This also won't force dealerships to aim the damn headlights properly after they take delivery of their cars from the factory. The police could already be enforcing existing headlight regulations and reduce a huge amount of this, but they don't. We could reduce a huge number of blinding lights without making new laws or regulations. It's already illegal to blind oncoming traffic with your headlights.

Europe: "manufacturers submit examples to authorities for testing to ensure they conform to the rules, and then the authorities approve the car for sale".

US: "harmonizing US standards with their global counterparts, updating the rules for technologies like LEDs, ambient light sensors, automatic high beams, and replaceable light sources, improving test procedures for lenses and optics, understanding how to better aim headlights, and making sure that none of this blinds anyone else on the road with glare".

The weird thing is that the latter is usually Europe's way of doing things.
