I’ve had drivers act very aggressively when I’ve had my super bright rear lights on, presumably because it’s eye level to them when they’re in their cars at traffic lights and has blinded them. It’s frightening and intensely stressful when you get bright lights in your face when you’re driving. I suppose angling the brighter lights downwards more might be the best option, but I’ve certainly never experienced notably different behaviour from motorists above the ‘perfectly visible’ threshold... Wherever that may be!
