Summary
A new AAA-backed safety survey highlights growing concern over headlight glare during night driving. It finds that six in ten drivers experience glare as a serious problem, and most of those affected say it has worsened over the past decade. Drivers overwhelmingly blame oncoming headlights, while a smaller share also reports issues from rearview and side mirrors. The survey links rising glare complaints to brighter LED lighting and the increasing number of taller vehicles on the road. It also notes that prescription glasses and certain driving conditions increase sensitivity. Despite frustration, research shows glare is rarely linked to crashes.
