    I truly believe that in first world countries, it’s because of insanely bright headlights. I remember reading that they’re 3,000x brighter than they were in the 1990s and because trucks are getting taller, they point more at other drivers than they ever have. My library even rents out night driving glasses so people can see if they’re beneficial.

      The length anti car people will go to spread their propaganda…

      It’s watching screens at close range for 10 hours a day.

      Just think about how little of your time the average person spends crossing trucks at night. That’s not even 15 minutes a year.

        Not just screens. Books are just as bad. Human eyes aren’t really optimized for staring at a single fixed distance for hours at a time, every single day.
