Personally I am tired of being blinded by these drivers who probably unknowingly they are doing so. I have adjusted my mirrors at night and also flash oncoming cars in the daytime as well. Sometimes there are too many to continually try to get them to turn down their lights. I have also noticed that when I do flash my brights at them to get them to turn them off or down, most ignore me or they are doing something else or looking in other directions or away. Are these drivers being arrogant or are they under a false sense of security, thinking "I have these lights on, I can be seen, and I can pay attention to other matters in my car instead of paying attention to the road". Whatever the case is, I will continue to hold on my high beams steady as I approach, trying to get them to turn their DRLs off, just as anyone should when you approach drivers with their highbeams on at night. Flashing does not work as it only makes them think there is a cop ahead, but I do enjoy the brake lights come on I see at times. Besides, only an idiot would want to drive a vehicle that appears to be cross-eyed. | NHTSA-2007:2007-01-01:2007-12-31 |
