Modern lights are still less likely to blind you because you may adjust your low beam to spec, but most people don’t and halogens typically don’t have auto adjustment and many even aim them high because they don’t get how low beams are supposed to work.
Also I find that people with halogens or burnt out xenons take longer to switch off their high beams.
The LEDs that blind you are most likely illegal retrofits or lifted trucks. Proper LED lights have very clear low beam cutoffs and multibeam LEDs will literally cut other cars out of their beams.
didn’t realize 80/90s blinding and 2020 blinding were the only options
too bad there isn’t a happy medium somewhere around 2010

your premise that the cutoff works well enough is incorrect
source: my fucking life
I’m blinded by “properly aimed” stock LEDs all the fucking time. roads aren’t flat. and they’re bumpy. hills exist. different elevations exist.
and your point about multibeam LEDs just proves my point more because it completely ignores non-vehicles
