    If you can’t see the road look to the right side to keep yourself in the lane or look at the double yellow line. I’m no help at avoiding the other cars in your lane but this should keep you moving forwarded instead of brake checking the person behind you

    this is so a pre-2010s problem

    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

    I’ve been in the situation plenty as a driver and if you don’t know how to handle it, destroy your driver’s license.

    Jesus fucking Christ.

    You people have the privilege of being able to legally drive on public roads… FFS.

        Why? If people think this is an acceptable situation to go ahead and drive in, then people are going to get hurt or killed.

        How calm should I be about driver’s being so irresponsible that they endanger themselves and everyone around them because “lol, what was I supposed to do?!?” … Exactly?

        Can’t see? Don’t drive. It’s not fucking rocket surgery.

        It’s a meme sure, but it’s a dismissive meme about an issue that when poorly handled, kills people. That people have a heated reaction isn’t entirely unexpected, nor strictly unreasonable.

      Some individuals even have articulated limbs capable of blocking specific overly bright spots of their point-of-view at a comfortable distance from the eyes.

      While laborious & not as cool as driving several tons at speed blind, some would insist that driving without such high-level-of-complexity solution wound be insane.

          As I understand, some have several digits at the very end of those forelimbs and possess sufficient dexterity to use specifically the middle one of those to block the bright light.

      High beams are worse because they direct the light up and out. And assholes think they can get away with it because they don’t have “the bright” lights.

        tbh I’d rather drive by a 2010 car with high beams on than a 2020 car with lowbeam LEDs

        and have done many times, it’s hilarious to be able to see better when a 2008 Corolla is coming towards me with high beams on that are perfectly adequate for lighting up the highway at speed, and a 2020 Corolla goes by after it and I can’t see the fucking road at all or anything around it or even where the 2020 car exactly is

            Oh right.
            Had to look at it a bit longer to realise.
            The rear light on that vehicle looked kinda like that of a bus though.

    Once I was driving up a windy moorland road near Haworth — proper Brontë Country — straight into the sunset and I was going at an absolute crawl, feeling pretty self conscious that I was holding up traffic somehow. Think I made the right decision though as we saw a car that’d tried to go at speed off the road down a gully after entirely missing a corner, with the driver stood on his phone.

      What terrible luck, first he breaks his car, then steps on his phone and probably breaks that too!
