There is a quick fix, sealed beams.
There was a time when all cars in the US had round headlights. That's because there was only one headlight and all cars were mandated by law to use it. That law can be reimplemented at any time. It would fix the headlights as soon as it goes into effect.
Car makers would hate it. It would ruin a lot of their styling and marketing having to use the one and only headlight. Which would make it an effective deterrant. Any major government using sealed beam laws as a threat would make the industry self regulate quickly.
I support a return to round sealed beam headlights. Especially if we can have pop-ups again.
Pop ups are dangerous for pedestrians.
So are big ass pickups with grilles that are over 5ft high
All headlights would magically change? Even the millions installed in cars already? Wow, that's a powerful legislation.
