Bright headlights from modern cars are blinding drivers, prompting safety warnings.

Bright oncoming headlights are causing increasing discomfort and safety risks for nighttime drivers, the RAC says, attributing the rise to modern vehicle lighting like brighter LEDs and higher beam placements. The organization advises drivers to adjust interior mirror settings to "night mode," dim interior lights, avoid staring at oncoming headlights, and keep windshields and headlights clean. While no single fix eliminates glare, small adjustments can improve visibility and reduce accident risks.
