2 gripes.
Why do reflective roadsigns have to be so ****ing bright? Can't see anything beyond them half the time with the headlight on. There was a time when highways painted brown gunge on them to tone it down but that seems to have gone.
Second. why do modern trucks have to cover the entire back face with intense red lights? ****ing stupid. I understand a couple on each side, in case of a failure (but aren't they all LED now?), but I counted 16 red lights on the back of one. Hey, a couple of red lights, I get it, I can see the truck, it's the ****ing big thing with red lights and reflective tape all over it, enough.

Yep and yep to both gripes. Glad it's not just me that thinks this.
