I was borrowing a short car and a truck pulled up behind me with it's ultra-bright while lights directly at eye level. Unbidden my mind conjured the image of a man very like me stepping out of the car with a sledge and smashing the truck's headlights.

I drive a tiny vehicle and this shit happens to me all the fucking time. I just want to kneecap every single person that has the suburban assault vehicles for this singular reason alone.

If you have time, slowing to legal minimum usually results them in doing a dangerous overtake.

I can’t die happy until I have caused one of these fuckers to roll their SUV.

If I have someone tailgating me, I’ll usually act like I’m taking a right turn and go into the turning lane. Then they’ll pass and I’ll swing back over into the regular lane (if there’s no one behind them of course)

And them wasting gasoline for vanity and ego makes me want to ecoterrorism

Listen, they need that vehicle so they can take their two kids to and from school

And so they can use it 2 times a year to haul slightly more stuff then you'd be easily able to fit into a sedan

I drive a civic in an area full of lifted trucks and oversized SUVs, it’s miserable at night.

Electric side mirror adjusters can sometimes be used to angle to light back into their eyes.

I also think to myself, "Self, if ever I did some crazy cosmetic thing to my car, it would be to have some highly polished chrome panel with a series of electric motors that could adjust the angle to be used when somebody behind me has headlights that are too bright."

I dig it. I love it. I want it.

The only times where I felt genuine desire to shoot at the driver behind is whenever they drive a truck that blinds me
