    Why are all these new drivers not dimming their headlights while backing in a hole? Your blinding the crap outta me! It's common courtesy not to blind a man in his sleeper, because you decided to pick the hole across from me.

    The same ones that don't know what hazards when backing are for, if I turn off my headlights, my DRL's kick on if my brakes are released.

    "Dim the lights"???? What do you mean "dim"? You say that as if there is another option?

    How about the ones that leave their headlights on while they sleep?
    I had a Volvo turn their headlights and fog lights on when I was starting to back in next to them. Watched him close the curtain and still have his headlights on. I think after the 4th pull up, due to being blinded, I finally decided to have to turn his headlights off.
    People like that go in the same category as those who flash their high beams when you are clear to come over.
    Better yet, join them with the 62 mph trucks that don't understand passing etiquette on a hill.......
