Try living in New England. The old people here drive so slow you could get out of the car, in traffic, walk up to their car ask them to hurry up or pull over and walk back to your car and continue on. Old drivers are a danger to other people on the road, be it another car or people just trying to cross the street.
Their eyesight is so bad they have to stop (assuming they see the red light or stop sign or worse the stopped car in front of them) about 100 feet away from the light because they can't judge how far away they are from the car in front of them. I pass them and get as far away as I can.

Its just going to take a few more lawsuits and then the insurance companies will make it a mandate that they get checked out every 6 months by way of a driving test.

Can we tell this drives me crazy!

I had some A$$ monkey in a Camaro do a u-turn in traffic just to catch up to me and put his brights on me and stay behind me for 2 blocks.
Ignorance is bliss I guess

They are some the BRIGHTEST nicest looking lights on the road.

the headlights are excellent, i don not even think about not having driving lights to go with them...and once in a while, less than once a month i get flashed, i flash back, case closed. i have made that error in my experience and i think most of us have as well.

if anyone is getting flashed every time they go out at night then that frequency could be is telling about the adjustment they have???
