No the brightness war is ridiculous. I made a left turn onto a road and literally almost ran into a low 2 inch divider thing. Couldn't see it over all the bright ass lights everywhere

I agree. But the lack of lane reflectors (I’ve learned the British call them cat eyes) and the terrible state of the painted lines makes the brightness problem even worse. Rain plus bright lights everywhere makes the road a free for all in lots of places.

Happened to me last week! Rainy, hard to see, turning left into a parking lot. I actually... turned onto the sidewalk!!! I couldn't see shit, but there was a widening of the road like you would expect for a turn into the parking lot. No markers. I was about 50 feet early, and a curb that was like 2-3 inches.

Drove right over the damn thing without realizing because it was just about the same as a bad parking lot entrance, until I hit grass

Yeah, it's not fun trying to judge these things while practically blind, even worse when you have a paying passenger in the back seat o_O

I really wish they would put more reflectors on the road.
