    Yes we need less cars, but leaving cars more dangerous isn’t the better interim solution.

    While cars have always travelled at speed at night, till modern headlights they were just reckless.

    It is another reason cycling infrastructure should be seperated: so headlights can be shielded.

      Modern headlights are blinding to anyone not in the vehicle using them. Oncoming headlights if you’re in anything shorter than whatever is producing them makes it near-impossible to see the road.
