General Science / Re: Why do LED tail lights trail to me and not to the rest of my family?

I can barely view (no pun intended) these LED tail lights as a "safety feature". Here's my observation. I had a 2002 Cadillac DTS. If I'm not mistaken, they were one of the first cars with the LED tail lamps (in the U.S. anyway). I had no problem on the highway at night behind another DTS. Cadillac then introduced that smaller STS with the similar vertical LED tail lamps. I had to look away if behind one of those cars at night until I could change lanes and get far enough behind it. Yes, they do "pulse" and "trail". It's similar on the SUVs and that wagon type vehicle they introduced too. They changed something. Just for the record, I do have lighter blue eyes and have a very hard time with fluorescent lighting and those newer swirly CFS light bulbs. They blind me and I'll see spots and floaters for hours.
