Interesting stats, if caveated
Death is not the only concern.
You don't just not beat your dog because it doesn't kill it.
These lights are too bright, they cause discomfort and stress out blinded drivers, and make driving a night impossibly for many who could otherwise drive safely before they were introduced.
For many night driving has become a rather traumatic experience, and that negatively effects them and other people as a result.
Imagine you're wearing a shocking dog bark collar and not knowing when it's gonna go off, but knowing it could, and you are also operating a 2 ton vehicle at 60mph on a busy and notoriously deadly stretch of road with your adorable 3 year old twins buckled in the back seat.
Idk, as a cyclist I’ve been blinded at night by other cyclists as often as cars.
Don’t mistake me, I have plenty of reasons to share the “fuck cars” ethos, but LED headlights aren’t even in the top 10.
