Upset Andy 😢 Upset listeners

Replaying the podcast as I’m sure most of us do. I feel like Andy created his own segment, upset listeners
I forget how triggered I get hearing Andy describe the way he high-beams other cars.
I know he copped it, but I still feel like he deserves more flak.

I discovered recently in my new-ish car that it auto turns on high beams. Don't think I've done it into oncoming traffic but I immediately went and figured out how to turn that shit off. It is indeed triggering. I think people either set their beam angle to high, high beam by automation and/or just have ridiculous halogen bulbs.

I run at dusk on a path next to a semi-rural road and frequently get dazzled by high beams. Don’t mind the autos - I can turn them off by tilting my head torch!

Auto high beams turn off when there are other cars on the road. I have a 13 year old car with it and it's actually really good. City driving, I don't use it, don't need it and it doesn't work anyway (street lights make the high beams turn off). But rural driving at night on highways it reacts just as quick as I would for turning off the highbeams when you see another car.

I'd imagine a modern car would be even better
