The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Bright lights are fine, just point them down. Although, you might have noticed that when you're going downhill or uphill the lights are more blinding.
I've proposed a polarization system where you would be able to see thing illuminated but not the bright lights that illuminate. There are many ways to make this work.
Nothing better than having to cover my eyes at night because my retinas are being fucking burned out of my head.
Don't people who set the rules also drive? "Wow, I can't see a damn thing. Maybe headlights are too bright?"
Look up Audi’s Matrix projection headlights. I really want to see more cars incorporating this technology.
It's fucking horrible even here in EU, where I would expect it to be better regulated. Can't imagine how bad it's in the US.
I've even seen multiple posts on local subreddits about people buying SUV/crossovers and one of the main reason was being blinded by other SUVs.
Fucking horrible it should be checked at every MOT, and it sometimes is, but the newer vehicles are exempt from yearly MOTs for some stupid reason.
It pisses me off to no end, but what the fuck can I do about it lol
I've often considered making an adjustable mirror with a servo on it mounted to the back of the car, so they can blind themselves and feel stupid
I've day dreamed of just wrapping my car in retroreflective vinyl.
There's a strong temptation to wander my neighborhood with a thick piece of wood and "solve" my problem locally
I bought glasses for this very reason. "Night vision" glasses. While the lights are still bright your eyes recover quickly.
Do these work? I’m thinking of getting them.
I wear prescription glasses they need to fit with so trying them is a much bigger investment
In my experience they help, but they don't totally fix the problem. I'd still rather have them than not, though. I use fitovers.
Polarized lenses, but with a yellow tint instead of black. They work nicely in my experience.
I've seen them for sale at truck stops, some with extra-large frames so they'd fit over your prescription lenses.
I haven't accepted it. Speak for yourself
