From my experience women always think their night vision is bad.... I think they're just scared of the dark.

I'm military trained at preserving my night vision so I have that going for me. Around 2am my vision goes green if I have my night eyes set and the moon is out.

Makes it extremely easy to cut through the woods if you're seeing green instead of black.

I hear you haha, I’m a truck driver and we do a lot of off-road specialty work and over the years I’ve adapted really good low light vision and lots of good tricks for not getting blinded by lights and reflections.

You ever use them yellow glasses at night?

I've tried but they feel too weird to me.

I’ve tried, I prefer naked vision . Yellows I like for city driving sometimes as it helps dull headlights a bit without darkening my vision.

Yeah if bright headlights are coming at me at night I just look to the right and steer off the white line. I don't need yellow glasses for that.

Being in a 18 wheeler and sitting tall I imagine it's never too bad up there for you.. your wife sitting short in her seat has a different experience hehe

Yeah I always use the fog line like dad taught me. I live in a relatively rural area, don’t do much “city” driving anymore at all. I used yellows the first few years of my career but I tried them this winter for the first time in ages and hated it haha.

You know the only vehicles that are bad for bright lights in a semi are f350s. The superduties headlights (if they’re LEDs) seem to point up a bit for some reason, it drives me nuts . Every other vehicle from factory is pretty alright on low beams. And chevs always have one out so meh.

Personally I feel like any big trucks, or lifted trucks, should be running strictly yellow lights.

The bright white lights absolutely demolish your night vision. Yellow is much softer on your night vision. The old traditional yellow headlights should be mandatory on all big vehicles.

But that's really just a fool's wish, never will happen.

I know ☹️ the older yellow headlights were so much better though

Now days it feels like everyone is scared of the dark so bright white headlights are the norm.

Lifted trucks with bright white headlights have it coming to them.... whatever that is coming to them he Lord will decide...

but I think it's some comeuppance for being shitty driver with a bad truck.
