I just drove to Michigan and back, saw maybe 5 vehicles, including a semi covered in lights.
One just had a single dollar store strand around the hood, one had followed all the panel lines on the car, and the others were just wrapped a couple times over the top and underside.
None were flashing or twinkling, just steady lights.
As long as they don’t flash or move while driving, honestly I don’t think a couple strands would be that distracting except maybe a double-take
I can see how this many lights would be distracting for some. I would definitely look more than twice, if I had space around me.
Still though I think I’d just ask them to leave most of the lights off while actually on the move at most.
Them not flashing isn’t great either. It is distracting - remember that not everyone has your level of focus. Especially annoying for people with astigmathism - it blurrs the everliving shit out of everything.
Good point. I get annoyed with the little lines on my windshield caused by the wipers in rain that make lights stretch a bit (idk how to better explain that), I can’t imagine how terrible it must be for people with astigmatism

SO THAT IS WHY I HATE HAVING AN EVEN SLIGHTLY DIRTY WINDSHIELD!
I have known that I have astigmatism since childhood, but never really understood what it means until now.
I got my license in 2022, and have allways found oncoming cars to be very distracting when driving at night.
