It is really uncomfortable. I had to pull over the other night because I was getting such a intense headache from the blinding lights, then darkness, then being blinded in close succession that I was sick to my stomach. It is definitely stressful.

I’m only glad I’m not alone. I commute at night and have to take 116 north from Middlebury and I am constantly being blinded. Being tired because it’s my morning only makes it worst. And then lately a bunch of people have been installing these light bars on their vehicles and I sometimes have to pull over because of the intensity and let my eyes readjust.

I’m a chronic migraineur and avoid driving at night because they trigger attacks and also just totally fuck with my neurological system. It’s hard to explain what it’s like unless you live it. I rue the day that LED became standard- in my opinion they also aren’t much of an improvement when driving because the harsh line of delineation of the area that light covers makes it really hard for me to make things out compared to the more soft focus of halogen lights.
