    "My lifted DODGE RAM TRUCK has BLINDING WHITE LED headlights positioned EXACTLY at EYE LEVEL. "

    “I am currently TAILGATING you in the RIGHT LANE even though you’re going TWENTY MILES AN HOUR over the speed limit and the LEFT LANE is OPEN.”

    “There are MONSTER ENERGY and FOX RACING stickers on the rear windshield of my lifted DODGE RAM TRUCK.”

    “There are PERFECTLY CLEAN mud tires and MASSIVE CHROME RIMS on my lifted DODGE RAM TRUCK.”

    “I make THIRTY-ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS a year and thought that that was a WISE FINANCIAL DECISION.”

    “I bring cases of BUD LIGHT to girls at high school parties while my wife and children are at home.”

    “My lifted DODGE RAM TRUCK has a GUN RACK which holds the AR-15 that I bought at WAL-MART.”

    “YETI COOLERS kick ass!”

    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 :)

    If you need headlights with more lumens than the sun to drive at night, you shouldn’t be allowed to 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.
