If not there could start to be legislation requiring it or limits put on light output for road use like in most of Europe.
That depends on how you aim the light. I have a P7 that would certainly be blinding if aimed too high (eg. "brights" on car headlights) but aimed a little down at the street it provides excellent light without risk to anyone.
