How the hell are those hard white LED headlights legal?

Cars

Seriously, the amount of people with their headlights set too high on those new cars with the harsh white LED lights.

Oncoming traffic is being blinded The person in front of you is getting it in their rear view Pedestrians are getting disoriented

It's an accident waiting to happen, and that's before we get to the eejits driving around on full beams.

Hurt my ankle from slipping off the edge of a footpath (on a road with no street lights) on Sunday because some gobshite decided to turn their full beams on when they were driving toward me. I couldn't see a thing and the footpath was tiny, had I not managed to keep upright, the eejit could have hit me (and yes, I had hi vis on me). Also messed up my night vision so I had to stop and try to readjust to the dark.

I don't understand how those things were ever approved, especially when there are warm toned LED lights available. They're lethal.

Anyone else ticked off with the use of them? Apparently opticians in the UK are hearing complaints frequently.
