    Can I ask in what situations?

    Like on even, level road when they are facing you?
    Or like a hilly road?

    And we arent talking high beams or fog lamps (some people just drive with them constantly)?

    Or are the cars loaded at the back which makes their headlights point to high up?
    And people don’t use this thing:
    (This is what I mean by auto-leveling & that the govs should mandate it - people aren’t doing it manually & don’t know what this switch does … or don’t notice their headlamps are illuminating peoples faces in other cars.)

      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.

            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.

                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.
