“The headlights on 2007-current Toyota Tundra's are very blinding. Every time I approach on of those Tundra's it looks as if their high beams are on and I am always constantly flashing them thinking they left their high beams on, but I become shocked when they flash me back ( with their actual high beams). I drive in a SUV, so if they are blinding me, I can't imagine what it looks like in a car! Its very hard to try staying on road when they go past its so bright, a couple times I actually went off the road a little. …”
