“I am writing to urge NHTSA to address the serious safety problem caused by excessively bright headlights on American roads. Many LED, HID, high-mounted, improperly aimed, and aftermarket headlights produce such intense glare that oncoming drivers can be temporarily blinded. This can make it difficult to see lane markings, pedestrians, bicyclists, animals, curves, or stopped vehicles. At highway speeds, even a few seconds of impaired vision can have devastating consequences. Technology already exists to reduce this danger. …”
