the new problem is LED headlights. I nearly hit somebody last week because I went when the light turned green and somebody was walking across the intersection on the other side, but completely invisible until the last second because of some asshole on the other side with LED headlights
most of the time when I get flashed back, it doesn’t even matter. their high beams aren’t any brighter than the low beams, they’re just aimed higher, and since their lowbeams are already aimed above my head, it doesn’t make a difference when they turn their high beams on to light up the tree tops
it still is pretty funny when you can tell that they’ve turned their high beams on by a tiny bit more light up above, but it has no effect on you. It’s a pretty clear indication that their low beams are too bright
this is so a pre-2010s problem

But I need to outshine the quasar at the center of the galaxy to see where I’m going!
and at night, when you realise their high beams were off the whole time… the hard way
