The US is worse - an F150s headlights are at eye level if you're sitting in a Corolla. Nothing on European roads is quite as bad.

Theoretically the higher headlights could be angled down more to at least sort of help this ? Unless you were right in front of the vehicle.

The worst are the trucks with the insane aftermarket light bars

I don't understand why headlight elevation isn't standardized.

First generation Audi Matrix LED lights would have a word. Those blind oncoming traffic for a full second before dimming.

They were banned in the US, ironically.
