    Honestly I just want a display in the back that has a few preset messages set to a button in the front. Stuff like “Please give me more space” or “Your headlights are too bright”.

    Barring that, would love a mirror that redirects headlights back to the driver’s face. If I can deal with it, you can deal with it too.

      I want one of those, too. Ironically, I think I’d be using the “it’s dark; turn on your headlights” preset more often than the “your headlights are too bright” one. (I blame daytime running lights: drivers see the ground lit up in front of them and don’t realize they still have to turn the headlight switch in order for their taillights to come on too.)

    easier to just install an LED marquee display in your back window that runs off of an arduino, and have pre-programmed messages that scroll like “turn your high beams off” or “put your phone down”. wire a couple push buttons to it and you can really get your point across on demand.

      That doesn’t work for the 6 foot tall f150 blinding you with their low beams. Also, not as satisfying. Or deadly. A little collateral damage is just something we have to live with.

    Truly I was in the slow lane with nobody else on the road with 3 lanes, and this douche in a CRV felt the need to shine brights.

      Is it illegal? Absolutely.

      Do the cops do anything about it? Absolutely not.

      Meanwhile I’m getting blinded by lifted trucks with overhead lights and a LED light bars on the grills

        I drive a small car, I absolutely hate it when pavement princesses come up from behind and blind me. In general I want to give the cops as little reason to issue tickets as possible. Retroreflectors are why we can see signs from a distance when it’s pitch black, so it’s a good option that doesn’t technically break any laws even if the law is basically completely unenforced

    Looks like someone is in the overtaking lane without overtaking.

    Some people really need to learn how to drive.
