Job for RFKjr make himself useful-- bright headlights are damaging to eyes

[Archimedes Plutonium]

-- quote Internet---

Modern vehicle headlights, particularly LEDs and HIDs, have roughly doubled in brightness over the past decade, with factory lights often reaching 3,000-4,000 lumens compared to 1,000 for older halogens. While improving driver visibility, these intense lights, combined with taller vehicle heights, cause significant glare, discomfort and reduced vision for oncoming drivers. Federal safety standards have not had significant updates since 1986.

RFKjr-- these lights cause temporary blindness, may even cause detached retinas.

Please do something about it or Americans may not need a alien invasion of body snatchers as we blind ourselves just looking down the road.

Yes, RFKjr, do you drive at all anymore???? Have you noticed that awful blinding glare of headlights????

Why when I was growing up and first learning how to drive in year 1966, being 16 years old, one of the sharp lessons my uncle impressed on me was--- do you have your "brights on" because the car up ahead was flashing his brights.

Well, the obnoxious situation now in the USA is that these LED and HIDs are so bright that they surpass even the normal lights.

They blind you, and can--- if not mistaken lead to Retinal Detachment.

Not to mention lead to a road fatality.

So, RFKjr---- make it a national law, that headlights cannot be this damaging to every American.

Do some actual good for health as Medical department leader.

In one of the reports, it said that puzzlingly, women are becoming more blind than men.

Well if you have a woman driver and up ahead is a obnoxious high lumen headlight that is blinding, the woman driver has a greater tendency to keep her eyes open in the glare for she knows a accident can be fatal, but she pays for that price of awareness by losing her eyes. Many male drivers look away, for relief and run the risk of an accident.

No, driving at night has now become a horror story health problem. And RFKjr, should fix this problem, right now, drop everything else, RFKjr, and fix this problem.

These bright headlights are almost as blinding as looking directly into the sun.

Governments and officials should be ashamed of themselves for letting this get out of control, where people are blinded looking at these vehicles.

A REMEDY is require a Lumen Screen put on bright headlights that cuts the Lumens to a normal vision, like it was before 1980.

RFKjr, are you sleeping on the job????? I can barely walk the streets at night without being blinded by head on traffic.

[Archimedes Plutonium]

Yes, on Sunday night, Monday morning I was looking at the Full Moon, it was bright and big, far brighter than the street lamp light the Moon. I could look at both the full moon and street lamp without hurting my eyes.

But then  I looked at the highway from Vermillion, SD and looking at oncoming headlights. No, they were far far too bright, and hurting my eyes.

RFKjr, this is your responsibility to make looking down the road safe and healthy for the eyes and to protect drivers from the glare which easily results in fatalities.

FIX THE PROBLEM before more are blinded and involved in an accident.

[Archimedes Plutonium]

Fix the problem you moron

People can no longer walk the streets at night without being blinded
