lol at the idling idiots - I thought I was the only with the crazy on that. WTF are so many people even doing this? Turn off the car, turn off the headlights, and get out and do something useful. JFC.

I'm always shocked how many cars are driving with their brights on.  I can tell from a mile away.  I'd say 20% of cars around here have their brights on, blinding everyone.  A lot of times, one of their main headlight bulbs burns out, so their solution is just drive around with their brights on :facepalm:

Same here. Maybe more than 30%.... PLUS the same idiots don't bother turning on their lights in super heavy fog or rain

I love that this thread was bumped.

Nick, do you actually wear sunglasses at night?  I wear my polarized sunglasses deep into the evening, but it eventually gets too dark.  Any recommendation for night lenses?

I've always had really sensitive eyes.  Lasik has made it worse for night driving with the halo effect.

Do you still think Lasik was worth it?

I've maxed out my HSA the past few years so I was thinking about getting Lasik with some of the money.

Someone told me that in the South there are a lot of trucks that just drive with their light bars constantly on?

I've been seeing that a lot. It's the small yellow light bars (and goofy fog lights) but only on late/new model Toyotas - Tundras, Tacomas and 4Runners.

There is red Chevy Caviler in my area with a yellow fog light bar mounted underneath the grill, one on the roof, and one underneath the rear bumper facing backwards.  All are misaligned and all are apparently on at all times.  I can only imaging how fun it must be to drive behind this mobile lighthouse at night.
