It can be unpleasant here, but I don't know how there aren't more accidents in the US
This is how it is in the American South, where every 90's pickup truck has been "retrofitted" with xenon bulbs, without actually having replaced the headlamp reflector housing == blinding oncoming drivers.
Don't even get me started on people driving around with their actual highbeams on because "it allows me to see better" [an actual response].
My state does not even inspect vehicles in any capacity — would love to see police actually cite offending vehicles, but they're too busy busting kids for marihuana.
