What’s up with the high beams?
By ahmil | January 11th, 2009Break was great! I had one of those best ones where we just stayed home and relaxed. We ate and caught up with a lot of movies that were interesting but really didn’t want to pay to watch in the movie theater.
So last week was back to the normal commuting routine. Traffic wasn’t bad over all but man … what’s up with the high beams? Three days in a roll I was followed by some driver who thought that the LA freeway was not bright enough with just his/her normal lights. Okay I was only attacted by 5 high beams because one of the cars only had the high beam on for one side. I flipped (snapped) my rear view mirror up and turned my right side mirror out so the high beam wouldn’t be in my eyes. I am sure my snapping my rear view mirror did not sent any message to the driver behind me. I am sure he/she was not even paying attention to what the person in front was doing. I am a conservative driver and certainly don’t want to the cause of any accidents but I really wish I was able to angle the side mirror just so that his/her high beam would reflect right back to blind him/her. Maybe then it will be like a slap on the forehead and dawn on him/her to check their lights. Although I highly doubt it. Or maybe a big neon sign on the rear window where you can send a message to the driver behind would work too. TURN OFF YOUR HIGH BEAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!
