Tall vehicles like SUVs shine their lights into shorter sedans and hatchback cars. Through the rear view mirror as well as front windshield.

Green Blob

I am in  trouble!

LED lights They emit blue-white light. This is very harsh on human eyes. Eyes get tired very quickly when blue-white light shines into them.

Misaligned headlights: 1 in 2 cars in the US have misaligned headlights. Imagine the situation in India!

We don't switch to low beams This is bad driving manners, and its very common across India.

Traffic jams at night Headlights of taller vehicles shine into our eyes from the back through mirrors

Single lanes Narrow single lane roads - vehicles opposite shine their LEDs into drivers' eyes

SO WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM?

Better driving manners

Strict implementation of low beam rules

Govt should examine blue-white content of LED lights and set limits

Use special night driving glasses

Use auto dimming rear view mirrors

Never look directly at any headlights

DRIVE SAFE!

DRIVE SAFE!
