    If we won’t regulate guns despite school shootings, what hope is there to regulate cars? (Unless someone rich can get a cut?) Apparently someone else’s freedumb to do dangerous things is my own freedom to stfu:-(.

    All Praise and Honor be to our glorious Electoral College, may it forever prevent us from making dumb decisions such as “preventing needless deaths”.

      Oh, yeah, of course it is not going to happen in the US. Force a pickup truck to aim their lights at the road instead of other drivers’ eyes? Political suicide. But I’d still like it to be regulated.

        It is. You want it enforced too?

        Even here where there are mandatory annual inspections meant to catch these things, no one ever checks headlights beyond whether they turn on and off

          German TÜV inspections absolutely check that the headlights aren’t foggy and are aligned correctly
