Who makes the most reliable new cars?

I flash my headlights at cars whose lights are too blinding, under the assumption that the driver accidentally left their brights on.

If I’m wrong and their lights are always like that, my assumption is that they would appreciate someone letting them know anyway. If it happens a lot, maybe they’ll figure it out and correct their embarrassing problem.

And if they’ve jerks who know they’re blinding others but just don’t care (or savor it) oh well they should still hear about it.

The way I do it is not flashing, which can be misinterpreted as police ahead or something else. I just turn on my high beams until they lower theirs and it works most of the time.

In my experience this leads to the realization they don't have meaningful low beams at all. Just high beams and higher beams.

Someone flashed their lights at me this very morning at around 5:00 am. At first I thought it was because my lights were off, then realized they thought my brights were on. They weren't, it's just that my new car has LEDs that are - apparently - quite bright.

You’re endangering yourself by temporarily blinding oncoming drivers and you should get your car serviced.
