The survey lasts until April 20. I'm glad transport Canada is looking into it.

Edit: thanks @Quilotoa@lemmy.ca for pointing out that I got the date wrong.

I drive a B2300 (old Ranger sized pickup) and headlight glare is fucking unbearable. Most modern SUVs and pickups have their lights above the bed of my truck and shine directly into my rear window, usually bright enough to drown out my dash lights. I can't imagine that the experience is much better for car drivers who get those lights at eye level.

I have taken to dropping down to 1 under the speed limit when I get truck/suv tailgating me with insane lights because they are drivers most likely to get impatient and pass if you aren't going at least 10 over.

Oh yeah, I drive a little Civic and those mfs are directly at eye level. In fact, sometimes when they tailgate my so close after slowing down the lights are actually comfortably over my car for a brief moment before you rip around me and the side mirror gives me a good retina jab.
