    You gotta remember the drivers of these things tend to be the biggest hotheads with an inferiority complex on planet earth. I wouldn’t go out of my way to antagonize them. You never know when one of them is gonna snap and make you part of a statistic.

    I hate these headlights as much as everyone else but I don’t see the point in losing my mind or life over it. I just try and change lanes and let them go so they can rear end some other poor sucker.

      Not about this problem in particular, but when faced with dangerous and/or aggressive drivers, my mother always said “get out of their way and let them have their accident somewhere else.”

        Yup. It’s simply not worth the potential for escalation.

        I can get pretty confrontational, but when it comes to road rage I simply do not engage. Too many variables and zero upside.

        I got a dash cam because of the unbelievable number of drivers that act like the world revolves around them or they pull out in front of me on the freeway and just never speed up to highway speeds.

        These days it’s usually a Tesla which is extra annoying cause I know those things can accelerate.

      I’ve contemplated doing all kinds of things when I get tailgated by these yokels, haven’t done a single one of them. A man can dream.

      I do think the liquid ass might be ambiguous enough if executed right. Maybe if it was skunk smell or dead animal smell, and if it looked like the nozzle was askew instead of intentional. Or maybe a fine mist instead of a spray.

      You’re probably right. I’ll still theorycraft revenge though
