Overview
- AAA’s new findings released Sunday show 6 in 10 drivers report headlight glare after dark and nearly three-quarters say it has grown worse over the past decade.
- AAA reports the worst trouble happens on two-lane roads with oncoming traffic, and about a third of drivers worry about glare bouncing in from the rearview mirror.
- The group says the trend is tied to vehicle technology, pointing to brighter headlamps and higher-riding models rather than only aging eyes.
- Drivers describe coping tactics such as looking down at lane lines or skipping night trips because intense beams make it hard to see.
- The survey of 1,092 U.S. drivers in early February found wide variation, with more reports from women and people who wear glasses and fewer from pickup owners.
