What do you do when people flash their high beams

[03trubluGT]

did I ever tell you about the time I passed on the right and cut off a sheriff in west TX?

Nope.

I rarely have people passing me while I'm in the cobra, but sometimes Ill see someone hauling ass up on me so ill get over. Now when I'm in the work truck that's a different story.

Hell tonight I'm coming north on 35w and I can't go faster than 64mph... fucking governed trucks. I move over to pass a tractor/trailer going up a hill and some cock sucker that was a mile over before I moved over catches up to me high beaming the shit out of me while I'm still trying to pass this fucking truck.

I finally was able to get around the big rig and move over. Then this little cunt decides oh I'm just gonna slow the fuck down once he gets in front of me... I then proceeded to lay on the horn and turn on my brights.

That's straight up gangsta right there man. Be careful doing that shit!

Fuck em man. That's one of my biggest pet peeves. But I don't ride their ass.

There are always the morons that get behind you and flash their high beams even if you are already going over the speed limit. What do you do?

Just don't check your rearview mirror like 95% of people on the road, you'll never see anyone flash their high beams again.

[Silverback]

I dont think I've ever been flashed any brights, as I tend to pay attention on the highway. I have however flashed my brights at quite a few people.

What irks me are the assholes who get mad when you flash them, like you're the asshole when they are left lane camping. I don't flash my lights unless I've been behind someone for a mile or so, and they aren't paying attention. I usually spend most of my time on road trips in the left lane, because my doing 10-20 over the speed limit depending on the road. But if someone does end up behind me, I get over and let them have the lead.

^ agreed...i've done it a few times, but only if they have had ample time and space to move over, yet refuse to. If it continues, I flash, honk, and if still nothing, I will pass on the right and stay there untill I need to pass again.

Drivers in most other cities will move over to the sholder if not the other lane when they notice faster traffic coming up behind them. However, peeps in the DFW area feel it's their right to regulate traffic flow and keep faster folks behind them.

[CJ]

in all honesty though, i whip around in my 6-4 and go blast them with my gat!

I am going to be so gay for saying this.. b ut if it wasn't for the homo wheels that's pretty damn cool looking.

[Cooter]

I didn't say which shoulder, now did I?


Oh, and since you are the authority on this, can one drive with their high beams on in the daytime?

Please tell me it's illegal...

then tell me it's legal to kill people who do it!

I can't stand people who do that shit

[Cooter]

Nope.

lol, I'll sit down some time and see if I can put it down in text good enough to really put you in the moment

otherwise, I'll tell you the story next time I hit you up to run a plate!

[Baba Ganoush]

I thought only eurotrash did this? I'd most likely ignore it unless I though it was the fuzz.

[Gtracer]

I always give someone ample time to move over before I flash, but if I give them time, and then flash, and they still have time/space to move and don't, I have this almost uncontrollable urge to pass on the shoulder.

I said "almost"...

I was driving down 30 going to Arlington and the left lane opened up, I moved over and proceeded to do about 80-85. Well some JackA$$ in a GMC Jimmy decides to move in front of me and THEN give me the little "no, no" finger in his mirror....I had so much rage at this point...thankfully I have a little voice in my head that requires me to think before acting...but I can still think it

I remember reading a law regarding this. Something to the effect of:
"The left lane is for passing only. If you are going slower than the flow of traffic or just enough to remain consistent with the flow of traffic then you should NOT be in the left lane."

I hate it and if I were a police officer I would write everyone of those assholes a ticket, not to make a difference but because I hate it...anyways
this is just as much of a moving hazard to others as the guy doing 100 through the highway. IF someone demands to do 100 down the highway the safest compromise would be to give that idiot a straight path so that they are not weaving in and out of traffic; which would be even MORE hazardous.

[SS Junk]

Here's a fun fact: About 99.9% of the people here who say "I good am courteous driver111" actually suck.

[SSMAN]

I try to get out of the way. I am always for a sucker in front of me going faster to soak up the tickets.

The pussies I hate are the one in the fast lane not getting out of the way driving under the speed limit. Then when you go around they flash you. Just for driving around them. WTF?


Lead, follow , or get the fuck out of the way.
