Brighter Headlights, Blinding Risks | Australia News
Description
LED headlights are making roads safer for drivers at night by slashing single-car crashes by nearly 20%—but at a cost: blinding glare for oncoming traffic. While newer smart systems adjust beams to avoid dazzling others, many SUVs and trucks still use high-mounted, less sophisticated LEDs that violate the spirit of safety regulations. Experts warn that current testing ignores how these bright lights affect other drivers, creating a dangerous imbalance where some see better, while others are put at risk.
