Small car problems rule
(kbin.run)
That bumper is eye level with me. He could have probably decapitated me if he reversed with enough determination.
It's hard out there for small car people when everyone else is in an arms race to be as big as possible.
They also ride my ass and are pretty consistently inconsiderate drivers. It's bad enough needing a car at all due to lack ox public transportation, but these people make it a miserable experience all around.
And those after market LED headlights without aftermarket reflection cones make for a fun time driving blind.
Among all the problems mentioned, this one is probably solved by legislation for decades, just not enforced.
Im Europe cops will stop you if you are blinding people (usually like old cars that dont have auto-levelling lights & they carry something heavy in the trunk, so like not actually intentional). What cops don't react to is some people constantly using front fog lights (at full brightness if not configurable) because it makes the car look 'more sporty'. I kinda hate that more than it is actually a problem.
Also yearly-ish state regulated check-ups, where there also verify you light (vertical) alignment & possibly adjust it for you. Other than that they test you ICE exhaust parameters, brakes, first aid kit, undercarriage state, etc (like a 10 minute inspection).
