Liar, you obviously were not taught to drive, you might have been
taught how to operate a motor vehicle but that is not driving), who in
their right minds looks directly at any light source (especially when
stationary). Sorry but your driving ability is the problem here and
not those you are following.

Anyway, the real problem is not illuminated lights whilst stationary
but lights that should not be illuminated whilst moving for the road
conditions, such as rear fog lights that mask (or cause a distraction
from) the more important lights such as brake lights.
