Where I live, if you blind me with your long distance headlights, I will blind you with my long distance headlights, isn't that universal?

- kevinherron 8y agoIn the situation he's describing one driver is behind the other. Unless you have headlights that point backwards you won't be able to return the favor.
- lightedman 8y agoI keep a 100w LED cannon pointing out my rear window for EXACTLY that reason. Come up on me with your brights on? I've got something bright for you.
- raducu 8y agoSure I can, I can turn on the high beam just as they overtake me, not always in bad faith, but maybe they just forgot theirs accidentally and need a reminder; just as I will flash and then completely turn off my headlights when I see a car running without headlights at night in the city, sometimes people just forget. I once turned off my headlights in a hill traffic jam while completely stopped as I was blinding the guy in front of me on my lowest setting and to my surprise everyone did the same in a domino-fashion. Tit for tat is pretty good.
- martin_a 8y agoOh, it totally is, but your attention is sure when they come in flying from behind and starting to blind you. I think that's what they want to achieve by being such jerks.
