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’d also like to see enforcement of proper headlight aiming. While lights really are too bright, it’s crazy that no one aims them properly.

An educational program about proper aiming, along with a check stop style safety sweep would help mitigate a lot of the issues.

Then again, we could just do the smart thing and mandate auto-leveling headlights, but that would be too simple.

Education wont help the majority of culprits which are pickup drivers.

Nah, it’s everybody. There is almost always a white SUV 4ft off the back of a bumper in Canada. Tailgating and colour temperature are the biggest problems here. Probably followed by aftermarket bulbs and lifted vehicles not aiming their lights. And stock Hyundai’s for some reason.

Probably just my area. I've always got a pickup riding my ass, even on a country road where I'm going 20 over the speed limit. Their headlights are high enouhg to just be blinding
