Escalade

  • miles
This complaint applies to the 2017-2019 Cadillac Escalade. The headlights on these vehicles are blindingly bright -- enough to be a safety hazard. They are way too bright if they shine directly in your eyes or side mirror while driving a car. They are an unusual design, with vertically stacked points of tiny individual lights, which I believe causes this problem. I recently read that pedestrian fatalities have significantly increased lately, particularly at night. I believe this is due to the increasingly bright SUV headlights, particularly on luxury SUV's. the Escalade is the worst, due to the unusual light design; but others are almost as bad. If they shine in your eyes -- for example, driving uphill as one of these is coming down the hill in the other lane -- it is literally impossible to see any pedestrian to the sides, particularly if the person is wearing black. This happens frequently at one busy intersection in my town. If you want to reduce pedestrian deaths, there needs to be greater regulation of the brightness of vehicle headlights, particularly on trucks. Thank you for the consideration of these comments.[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'
