“My complaint doesn't have this problem but it was required. My complaint is with new cars new cars coming out now where their headlights are there low beams are unbelievably bright and I cannot believe if you've ever driven at night you don't see the same problem it's blinding it's ridiculous. I mean honestly let's do something about it. You guys are all worried about speed and what not but at least you can see a streak of me going by going fast but you're blinded with those lights I think that's a way of more of a safety hazard than speed.”
