I'd very much like every truck out there to have the headlights pointed away from my eyes and be less bright thanks.
I'm very close to putting a mirror over my rearview window to shine the light back at them.
Trucks need to have semi levels of regulations for headlights
I see plenty of trucks with headlights well above semi trucks, and I've yet to be blinded by any semi headlights, even the stupid white blue colored ones due to their regulations of height and angle actually being enforced
Mirror doesn't work, hang emergency visibility jacket over your seats. Sometimes those do when they reflect back and catch their eye, and they won't net you a ticket
In older cars, where you could manually flip the rear view mirror to dim it, my dad would flip it back and forth trying to flash the person behind him so they’d get the hint about their high beams. Not sure it ever worked…
I just do that with my brake lights now. have yet to wire up a switch to my reverse lights
Presumably the mirror was angled toward his eyes so he was just flashing himself
