The survey lasts until April 20. I'm glad transport Canada is looking into it.

Edit: thanks @Quilotoa@lemmy.ca for pointing out that I got the date wrong.

It’s bad and we should match European standards.

The US standards for cars are a cancer and perfectly encapsulate the American “I got mine fuck you” mindset.

European standards

As a European, headlights are way too bright. And modern dashboards too. If your car gave your eyes the chance to adapt to the darkness, we wouldn't need bajillion lumen headlights.

Every car I've owned has had a little potentiometer or "roller" to dim internal and dashboard lights. I have no idea why it's not common knowledge but I use it every time I have to travel in the dark and it allows me to see outside so much better
