I wish there were a point, but assuming such a letter actually gets acted on and not just ignored, Congress just immediately asks NHTSA about it, NHTSA says everything's fine, and that's the end of it. I mean, just last month Congress ordered NHTSA to allow ADB as defined by SAE J3069, and NHTSA declared "NHTSA shall allow ADB as per SAE J3069" didn't actually mean they had to allow ADB as per SAE J3069. Instead they issued a final rule specifying a more expensive system that gives drivers less seeing light and other road users more glare. So that's where we're at as far as any Congressional oversight of NHTSA goes.Would you consider writing a letter to your Congressman on the height of headlights and their beams, with a recommendation of changing the regs?
