Lol I live in a big city with a lot of terrible/rude drivers and literally until I read the comments here, I thought there were just a ton of super annoying people driving with their high beams on at night.
I still drive a sedan while it seems like 99% of the world has moved on to driving monster trucks and mini school bus sized SUVs. I hadn't considered the impact of the height difference.

There are a ton of super annoying people driving with their high beams on at night.
One of my many pet peeves actually…
It does amuse me to no end to light people up going around curves, keeps me awake on the long nighttime drives.
On the pickup trucks/SUVs my theory is people change the ride height but never get around to adjusting the headlights so they aim too high and blind people. Plus towing and/or loading down the truck bed raises them so same effect.
There are laws prohibiting the use of high beams when there are other motorist on the road where I live but they are not enforced. If you will be ticked for lack of seatbelts you should be ticked for improper high beam use as well, especially as it affects other motorists.
