    Jake? Probably unnecessary.

    Brights? In a dark, shadow-filled place with people in non-reflecting clothing moving about at all hours on foot? Sounds like the safe (and therefore correct) answer to this driver.

    Driver, buy a curtian!

    I have been known to shine a spot light in a rest area if I was unsure if I had room to get in and out. Id rather piss 20 people off with a little bit of bright light than run into some ones trailer, or worse run some one over.

    I never said a curtain would, and if he is going fast enough that he "needs" his jake to slow down in that parking lot, well he needs to slow himself down!

    Me I alway felt comfortable when some one would back in next to me who had a ton of lights they could fire up to see what they were doing. It is the ones who had to try and wing it in the dark that scared me.

    Or you could invest in a sticky note and leave it on his mirror so he finds it. Let him know how you feel.
