Trucks and suv's have headlight that shine directly into the eyes of a sedan driver. Also these headlights are set at a height that hits the mirrors of a sedan blinding the driver. This is especially bad when sitting at an intersection opposite a car with blue headlights. I live in an area without a lot of light pollution so the blinding effect is really bad. Rear view mirrors can be adjusted but side mirrors are harder. *la
