I've suffered this even as a pedestrian. A few months ago I was walking east along Walnut Street toward Broad Street in the early morning when it was still dark and had to squint, because some jackass in an emotional support pick-up truck had his high-beams blazing down the almost empty street toward me.

I've noticed that this has become a common complaint all over. It seems that high-beam etiquette is another casualty of the pandemic. I haven't driven in longer than a decade, but when I did, my understanding was that one should be very careful about interfering with or antagonizing the ability of other motorists to see with high-beams. As with some other courtesies of the road, that seems to have been subsumed by 'fuck it and you too, buddy'.
