Ope, suddenly I remembered I love driving the speed limit.
The moment one of these guys decides that my ass is a nice place to park his dick, I’m turning off cruise control until they back off. If they genuinely need past me, they can pass me. If they just want to smell my farts, they can smell em slowly.
If you need headlights with more lumens than the sun to drive at night, you shouldn’t be allowed to drive at night.
The temptation to mirror tint my rear windshield goes up every time I drive at night
Your rearview mirror likely has a little tab on the bottom of it. Push it when there’s The Entire Sun behind you. It’ll dim the mirror’s reflection without changing the angle.
If you have a newer, fancier car, you might have a digital version of that.
I use that thing a lot, but they usually drive close enough to get the side mirrors too, and generally light up the whole cab. So I spend however long they’re behind me hunched forward to keep their brights out of my eyes, waiting for a passing zone. I’m not even a slow driver.
Not to excuse lumenbros but I don’t care if you’re going 100 over the speed limit, if you’re in the left lane, someone wants to pass you and you can move over, move over. Then they can go the speed they want and you can go the speed you want.
Funny how everyone just seems to assume that people are in the left lane anytime anyone brings up shitbags tailgating.
People tailgate. They tailgate in the left lane. The right lane. The turning lane, the parking lot, fuck they probably tailgate in driveways.
There is no excuse for it. Whether or not you want to go faster than the person in front of you or not. It is dangerous and selfish under all circumstances.
Now I want to put LEDs on my truck.
NO SIGHT FOR YOU, CAR PEOPLE.
I usually just move my mirrors to reflect it back into their eyes, easy with motorized mirrors
Heh someone in a Tesla was blinding me from behind and tailgating so I moved both side mirrors and the rear view to aim them straight back. He passed around me over the double yellow line. With him now in front of me and in traffic I just flipped my high beams on and chuckled to myself until he eventually turned off and I put my headlights back to normal :)
