    1. Look before a lane change. Just…turn your head and look. It’s not hard.
    2. Not all cars have great rear visibility. I drive sports cars whose center rear view mirrors have poor visibility. Just look.
    3. A lot of cars have blind spot monitors that buzz or beep when you try to merge into a car next to you.
    4. Scratching and bumping cars in parking lots is a big deal even if it’s not fatal.
    5. Just look, man. Look out the windows.

    I mean, 1 in 5 is a lot, just to be perfectly clear, so anything even approaching that is a pretty bad. When I was growing up, the number of cars inappropriately using high beams in city traffic was basically zero, so this is a massive regression.

    You can tell that a car is using high beams because their light fixture appears fully and evenly lit from eye level. Low-beam headlights look “half full” from an opposing driver’s view. You can also tell because many lower-end cars have a separate housing just for the high beam that only light up when the high beam is on.
