Default Inboard set headlights, dangerous?

I do a lot of night driving and one thing I have been noticing lately with the FG Falcon and SZ Territory low beam headlights is how it makes the cars look a lot further away than what they are.

The headlights are much more in the centre of the car with the high beam and low beam being switched from the usual placements. At night, the smaller the distance between the lights, the further away the car looks.

Its funny as the ADRS are so strict on lighting e.g. how far away from the road, postion relation to indicators, etc etc, Im suprised there must be no rule on how close the headlights are to be to the edge of the vehicle so as to frame the vehicle and to also make it consistent across cars.

I saw a Laser pull out in front of a FG XR6 last night at a T junction and to be honest even from my perspective sitting behind the Laser I though the FG was a lot further away than it was as well.

Do any FG and SZ owners notice people pulling across you more at night? Its not bashing Ford, Im sure other cars have inboard low beam with the outer reserved for high beam, just curious if this is noticed by others.
