headlights on new cars to bright or is it me?
I see eye dr every year, mid 60's, 20/20 with bi-focles for close up stuff. Dr says my eyes OK. I notice that newer cars headlights are supper bright. Just me or anybody else notice this?

I, too, will flash people with 'over-bright' headlights. I feel they need to know that they are blinding oncoming traffic. If someone has their brights on, I will flash my brights and if they don't turn them off, I leave mine on too. Many times, they will turn theirs off.
It has always seemed counter-productive to me to leave one's brights on when an oncoming car fails to dim theirs. The last thing I want when I have trouble seeing the road and another car is approaching is for them to also not be able to see anything. In the off chance that it's not their brights but a very misadjusted light or an (illegal) aftermarket light or something, there's no way they'd be able to correct the problem in the several seconds before we pass each other.
It seems to me that a quick flash or two is all that would be advisable, and if that doesn't work, grumble and get on with life...or even just carry on without grumbling.
