The survey lasts until April 20. I’m glad transport Canada is looking into it.

Edit: thanks @Quilotoa@lemmy.ca for pointing out that I got the date wrong.

    Neither of these are, in fact, the only solution.

    We could, for example, have heights that identify other cars in the road and selectively dim the area around those cars.

    We could have headlights that keep light below a certain level accounting for both the attitude of the car and the oncoming terrain.

    Really how it is achieved doesn’t matter, the regulation should just say that, within some cone in front of the vehicle, light levels must be limited to below x for the window areas around any other vehicles.

        Congratulations on forgetting the justification people are using to restrict light brightness, which is that is blind other drivers dangerously.
        I would consider motorbikes and bicycles to fall under that category, but I expected that people understood that I wasn’t going into the minutiae of a hypothetical regulation that I’m not responsible for writing. There are, of course, lots of edge cases that I didn’t include.

        If you’re making a case for pedestrians, or people indoors, I think that’s gonna need to some more serious justification.
