d these days, a lack of people flashing their high beams at offending glare does not mean they are not dazzled, but perhaps fearful that the other driver has another 1500 lumens available on their highbeams to completely blind them and send them carreening off into a ditch. I know I think twice when I am dazzled byu oncoming glare and want to return the favor, for fear that it is their low Beams, not their highs.
I'll keep driving knowing I will have to often hold up a hand to shield my eyes from offending glare coming from oncoming vehicles, and let off the gas, while looking at the white lines on the side of the road. I am perhaps a little to comtemptuous of the masses who simply believe that no matter what, a LED bulb in a Halogen reflector is an improvement, when in most cases the exact opposite is true.
Excellent point about the flashing. There are so many too-bright vehicles on the road today that I don't bother anymore. I just drive with my left hand up until they pass.
Headlights have been an arms race where nobody wins. I'm all for better technology super bright high beams, but low beams should go back to being dim, yellowish sealed beams of yesteryear. Let your pupils do their job in low light when there are oncoming "victims."
I've seen people dim their brights where the change was so little they needn't bother.
