    Headlights definitely need more regulation but this issue is very amplified in SUVs which are much underregulated. They have mismatched bumper heights to other cars causing more damage, they drag pedestrians underneath causing more injuries. I personally see no point for modern SUVs existing at all, but let’s at least make sure they are safe on roads.











  • I understand and agree with your attitude to buying a car on credit. Two semi-objective justifications I can see are safety and quality-of-life.

    Newer and better cars are safer, and you might not have even a minor collision throughout the whole lifetime of the car, but the (hopefully never) day a crash happens you’ll be forever grateful to yourself you bought this car. And if you have some “smart” assistants on-board those actually can make you not end up in the accident.

    From my experience I have realized that (within reasonable bounds) if spending more on something results in substantiality higher quality-of-life then it’s a money well spent. Because you end up being happier, calmer and actually more productive if you don’t have to waste your energy on inconvenient things.

    Not sure if that makes you feel any better…
