Those lights were actually that guy's low beams.

  One thing that gets me is dudebro Rams that tailgate me, and also think they will get away with rolling coal when I don’t race them. I drove a sports car. I literally have a car that gaps them they way they jerk off doing to normal cars in traffic, and they still try to do asshole stuff to me.

  An actual thing I do at night for Uber brights (especially if you have a normal sedan height vehicle) is to turn the rear view mirror straight back. At worst it no longer blinds you, and at best it will catch their headlights at specific angles(like a mirror and sunlight) and they either back off to alter the angle or (on highways) pass you and continue on their way. Either way is safe because they’re no longer in danger of causing you to have an accident.

  As a pizza delivery driver, i advocate for leaving your brights on being punishable as attempted murder, why do you need a nuclear blast to be able to see? This road’s longest straight part is not even a quarter mile long

  Don’t forget fog lights 24/7 365 because why should you pay attention to how the moving thing works

    Idk how it works in USA or whatever you’re from, but in my country either those or low-beams can to be turned on during the daytime. Granted, on more modern cars there’s a dedicated set of lights for that purpose, but still they aren’t everywhere (also, more modern cars suck ass).

      Same is generally true here. I’ve never had a car that doesn’t turn off the fog lights when you turn on the high beams. Maybe on older cars that had them. I think the idea is that if it’s foggy, you shouldn’t have your high beams on ever.

  I got a loaner with the l.e.d. beams, back when they were not common, they night not have been aimed perfectly, it might’ve been because there were lots of hills that caused the beams to go up and down, every now and then someone would flash their high beams in the “hey buddy you have your high beams on” at me, and I’d feel a little bit bad, but I had to show them that those weren’t the high beams, the high beams were the ones that made them wonder if the sun was still shining. Some day I’ll own a car with those beams again.

  But yeah, high beams shouldn’t be on unless you’re in a position to turn them off when you see another car coming, I don’t care if you’re looking for your lost puppy on the side of the road, if I’m coming and I can’t see because you’re in front of your car with the high beams on, now it’s you, your puppy, and traffic in the other direction at risk.
