New research by the Times shows that thousands of fatal crashes involving pedestrians could have been avoided with lower hood heights and improved visibility.
In the 90s there were some regulation changes about how headlights worked like requiring them to be open if the mechanism failed and pedestrian safety that made them difficult for car designers to implement so they faded out of style.
Makes sense, I guess I just hadn’t noticed the change over the years. My son has two cars with pop-up headlights in the yard now, one has a light that keeps going back up and to me it’s hilarious.
Did something happen to flip up headlights? I still see them all over the place.

As far as I know they haven’t been allowed on new cars for a long time, but if you have an older car that has them it’s still legal to drive
