Mir ist etwas wirklich Frustrierendes aufgefallen, als ich durch Prag (und auch durch andere Städte) gefahren bin. Viele Autofahrer scheinen in der Stadt das Fernlicht zu benutzen, selbst auf gut beleuchteten Straßen.
Ich spreche nicht von gelegentlichen Fehlern – ich meine, sie passieren häufig. Sie fahren normal unter Straßenlaternen und plötzlich kommt jemand mit eingeschaltetem Fernlicht auf Sie zu oder hinter Ihnen her und blendet Sie völlig.
Soweit ich weiß, sollte Fernlicht nur bei schlechten Sichtverhältnissen und ohne Straßenbeleuchtung verwendet werden. In der Stadt, wo es überall Verkehr und Lichter gibt, macht es einfach keinen Sinn und fühlt sich ehrlich gesagt unsicher an.
Kommt das in der Tschechischen Republik häufig vor oder habe ich einfach Pech? Sind sich die Leute dessen nicht bewusst oder ist es ihnen einfach egal?

I’d say they rather have badly adjusted beams. I’ve noticed it happening quite often.
I think it’s not high beams, just the regular ones pointing high. Very annoying nevertheless.
I’m not sure if this is czech-driver specific, but some of the super blinding lights are really not fun when driving at 1am, even on smaller rural roads
High beams are banned when youre inside town/village (signs mark this area).
People are just jerks, they dont care about blinding you, whether they have manual, automatic or matrix headlighs.
Do you driving in your country without headlights during day? To met someone with high beam in city is pretty rare.. I think you met someone with normal headlights or badly set up Lights..
Its not high beams, its usually nivelation of the headlight lamps. Skoda does this from factory, almost every skoda car I had (2020+) I had to manualy set the nivelation, so it doesnt point too up.
Another thing is drivers with old cars who buy offmarket led conversion kits which then shine more then their highbeams. Most of them are banned or too expensive to be put on octavia mk1, so ppl opt to aliexpress stuff and it burns everybodys eyes 🙂
But most of the time ppl turn off their high beams when they see a car.
They are dumb bitches with regular headlights too bright and not adjust correctly or using bad angle. It happens to me all the time that I get blinded by these people since I dont have darkened windshield and sometimes I think they have high beams on so I blink at them to let them know and they blink back with real ones that are even stronger.
Often it’s a mix of a couple of aspects
– new cars have automatic raising and lowering and they tend to react well only other newer cars and their headlights, staying in the upwards positions all the fucking time
– the average car tends to be higher than before and the headlights tend to be optimised for that
-modern lights tend to be way brighter and whiter than normal h8s
I’ve been told by my mechanic once that it’s often because people tend to swap broken light bulbs in their cars on their own and use a wrong type, which is not supposed to be used in cars and emits too intense beams of light. Or maybe the lights are not adjusted correctly/the car bears too much weight in the rear. It’s either this, or the person is simply stupid.
You can test it yourself. Just quickly double flash your high beams and see what happens. If they use high beams, they will turn them off. If they don’t, well, brace your retinas lol. It is common in here to flash people who you suspect to use high beams when you meet them.
Its not hig beams. Its the new cars with annoying super bright matrix headlamps. Count in the car being a big SUV elevated compared to, say, a normal sedan and if you meet the car driving over a bump, theres your high-beam like experience.
Those are regular lights, they just mess with the headlights and adjust them too high. About 20% of cars I come across at night have them too high. And they know it too, but they don’t care.
Ive moved out of Czechia years ago, but every time I travel back for work or see family, I rejoice because it’s so much better than the idiots in the US.
Vast majority have brights on regardless of oncoming traffic and lot of tall pickup trucks have them aimed wrong.
It’s nowhere near as bad in Europe as it could be to be honest
And then you meet foggers. So called idiots using fog lights when lights conditions are 1% worse than midday sun in July. Even better when rains.
