Just to clarify - those aren't high beams. It's just lifted enough to where the cutoff is above your eyesight. Still sucks ass.
Shouldn't that require them to adjust the light angle to compensate, or does the law not care?
Yes.
The law states that headlights must be below a certain height. I forget the exact number, but it is the law. It's not enforced, but it's law nonetheless.
Not only does the law not care, Cafe standards encourage larger vehicles.
The law cares, but it's hardly enforced.
Today I learned... I've never once seen it enforced.
They sure got those pop-up headlights though.
Yep, it's the cops who don't care.
Bingo
wont this problem solve itself, as cars get taller and taller?
If they're close enough behind you, there's really no way to do it short of lowering the entire truck. If the law doesn't care to ban trucks because of all the children they kill, they sure aren't going to do it because they shine bright lights directly into your eyes.
