    If there are any lights that are understandably bright, it’s those on emergency vehicles.

    The bright-ass LED lights on liften trucks though are entirely infuriating.

      It’s not the brightness that’s the problem. It’s the sharpness and the strobe. Back in the old days, when they were spinning lights, they were nice and bright and got the job done just fine without those two aspects.

        Hell, even as annoying as the xenon strobes were, they were never anywhere near as disorienting as the LED strobes on the emergency vehicles now. That and the low sound range sirens… They make me nauseous when they pass close by.
