I frequently travel on national highways and expressways. I often encounter trucks and pickup trucks fitted with blinding side and rear lights, which severely impact visibility. If this indirectly causes me an accident, or causes an accident for another vehicle due to impaired forward vision, would the driver who installed those blinding lights, like in the video below, be held responsible?

The issue here is with taillights; why must they be so bright when that's not where the driver looks? Perhaps owners want other vehicles to be blinded and keep their distance, or to prevent traffic cameras from capturing them violating rules? Whatever the reason, taillights as bright as high-pressure lamps reveal one thing: the 'low' culture of the vehicle owner.

Some disregard laws and the inconvenience caused to others, solely to satisfy their own deviant needs. How would they feel if others were involved in accidents because of those lights? Would there be any remorse?

This problem has persisted in Vietnam for too long, with LED bars, taillights, and undercarriage lights glaring in various colors—blue, red, purple, yellow—like a nightclub from the last century. I hope authorities will soon thoroughly address these issues, restoring a safe and civilized traffic environment.
