I don’t know why the guy called the police but it certainly was his right to. It is a dark highway with mountain passes and certainly having bright LED lights flash at you isn’t awesome.
The highway patrol officer just happened to have been only a few miles and investigated the call. He was very nice no major issue. This highway is also known to be dangerous due to a high degree of drunk driving, wildlife crossings, mountain passes, and fog. The driver may have had a previous close call and wanted to play it safe.
We were stunned when it happened since we hadn’t seen it before. We do have a grill guard custom made but the sensors are not blocked by it. It wasn’t snowing, foggy, or raining.

Try living out in the middle of BFE, where 85% of Americans reside. LOL.

We have over 19 hours of darkness per day right now up in Alaska where I live and 24 hours of darkness where I work. If people haven’t learned to look away from lights when coming the opposite direction, they’re idiots and I have no sympathy. I could care less how bright someone else’s lights are. Don’t look at them and you won’t be blinded.

It could have been an elderly person or similarly 'vulnerable' person who was intimidated by the flipping on and off of the lights and called the police. With all the games some people play on the road, I see no problem with that at all, and this is the type of call the police should respond to if they have the time. In this case it turned out to be harmless.
Me personally, I think I would have noticed my auto high beams repeatedly going on and off and turned off the auto function while that vehicle was in front of me.
