    I mainly brought up the headlight alignement issue as I saw a thread about Teslas headlight’s alignment being reset after a software update, but that is just a specific car (btw, the front indicators on some Tesla models are absolutely shit here in Sweden, but that is a different topic).

    As for the rearview mirror flip, I know what you mean, but I haven’t seen them in moderns cars for years now, even in my 2021 Leon it is an electric system that deals with it and darken the mirror itself.

    I do not argue that the benefit of extra lights improve safety, when used properly, what I am pissed about is that the other driver diliberately flash his highbeams with extra lights right into my car just as he passed me.

    Sure I had flashed to tell him that I got blinded by his lights and it appeard that he had forgotten about his highbeams, feom my perspecive I just saw a car driving towards me with blinding lights on so I tried to get him to help me out, sure I made a misstake, but by absolutely and deliberately oblitarating my night vision on a dark road he could have made me have an accident.
